Building upon the complex urban infrastructure of the 1,000-acre MUTC facility, MCTC provides the needed resources for AMCCO, the DoD, and JIIM partners to meet evolving training and RDT&E requirements of the 21st century.


 

IRREGULAR WARFARE TECHNICAL SUPPORT DIRECTORATE – SYNTHETIC INTERNET FOR TRAINING AND EXERCISES (IWTSD SITE)

Terrorists now have a platform to reach audiences of unprecedented size to communicate, collaborate, and convince, often operating buried and undetected in the staggering volume of general online traffic.
