Overview
- Officials held the Sept. 22 groundbreaking at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, with Lt. Gen. Case Cunningham presiding and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Alaska District leading the project.
- The center will blend virtual and constructive simulation to create a single-site, high‑fidelity environment for training across land, air, sea, space and cyber.
- Mock-up cockpits and adaptable operator stations will support varied mission sets and team configurations for U.S. services and allied partners.
- Training objectives include validating all‑domain kill chains and preparing units for high‑threat “night one” scenarios.
- JBER’s location and ranges position the site to bolster Arctic and Indo‑Pacific readiness, extending a concept already in use at Nellis Air Force Base.
