The exercise called "Aquila 16" was held from the 19 to the 2015 November, as part of the TRIAL 3b, in order to test the effectiveness of the "Integrated Systems for Terrestrial Training" (SIAT) simulator in the future II ° level tactical training center of San Giorgio di Brunico, already used to prepare the Army units for combat in inhabited centers.
The SIAT program, based on the environment and the training target to be achieved, is divided into three systems: Interactive, aimed at conducting training on weapons systems or on individual departmental weapons in an artificially reproduced environment such as a flight simulator; live, provided to soldiers and vehicles performing real training exercises in the exercise areas; constructive, or the training of staff to carry out the operational command and control function on the dependent units.
The office for simulation and technology for training of the General Staff of the Army has coordinated and followed the entire activity that is part of a set of tests planned in the "2015 Roadmap" for testing the system in all five centers national.
The specificity of the training area of San Giorgio was further amplified thanks to the sophisticated simulation systems live that cover the entire site covering more than 11 buildings of different types allowing simulated training ever closer to reality.
The exercise, of the type with opposing parties, was conducted by staff of the 6 Alpine Regiment who used platoon and squad level units in the guise of both friendly forces and enemy forces.
