Command Operations Center, LLC offers services differing for the Military, Business, and for Government.  We provide our clients, the opportunity to use our skills and services to sharpen their decision-making skills. A little effort on the part of a client will allow them to practice what we preach: The more you sweat in Peace the less you bleed in War.  This applies to all forms of decision-making. 

A Marine CPX (Command Post Exercise) in progress.  Here, in a future conflict scenario, a Marine Alpha Command team (the alternate command group) deploys troops to help evacuate refugees in a very high stress, high danger environment near a  refinery.

Murphy's Law:  If it is possible to make a mistake, you will.    

Military Situational Simulation:

Option A:  Recent events in Iraq have proven the value of high stress decision-making training at the Battalion, Company, and Platoon level.  Events involving terrorist activities, false surrenders, the use of civilians, children, and weapons of mass destruction have changed the way America goes into combat.  The more a unit can practice decision-making under as close to real conditions as possible the better their chance of success in the real world.  Conduct a Battalion sized advance into territory that may or may not be hostile.  Deal with the press, the local government, terrorists, and WMD in a realistic simulation that will challenge your abilities.

Option B:  Conduct Company Level deployment charged with guarding an Airport which is being used to bring supplies into an economy which has had no food, no Quick Marts, no Schnucks' Supermarkets, no bottled water, nothing; for 90 days.  What would your security precautions be and how would you deal with a multi-leveled local civilian government, if there is one?  

Option C:   There are many additional options available.

O'Toole's Law:  Murphy is an optimist.
 
Specific Military Unit Simulations

Your unit is assigned the task of transporting 20 truckloads of Russian made 122mm artillery rounds from a depot 25 Kms. south of Baghdad to a depot 100 Kms. north of Baghdad.  During the mission you encounter two roadside explosions that nearly destroy two trucks, an ambush conducted by Iraqi kids no older than the youngest soldier in your unit, and you have an encounter with a UNHCR official that nearly drove you to believe in the phrase "first lets eliminate all the lawyers".  

You achieve your mission, but you find yourself cornered in a small out of the way town 50 Kms. from Baghdad on the return trip.  You know your duty, and you know how to execute it, but a little time to practice battle drills and emergency response drills would have been nice.

COC can provide you the opportunity to review your battle drills, practice communication procedures, and watch the progress of a convoy in a controlled environment sitting around a conference table viewing the action at the level of the individual driver or convoy commander.

 

Government Situational Simulations 

Option A:  A Riot involving hundreds of your citizens has occurred in your usually peaceful Police District.  There has been looting and there are injuries to both civilians and your personnel.  You are very busy and the local press is having a field day because they just found out you do not have a plan to deal with hazardous materials discovered in a local business.  On top of that the law firm the Mayor worked for before he became mayor is full of really angry rioters.  Not that you blame them because they found out that law firm blocked riot coverage under local insurance restriction policies.

Option B:  Your secretary just informed you there is a reporter with lights and cameras outside on the steps of city hall demanding to see you.  You do not have the faintest idea why, but she does.

Option C:   There are many additional options available.

Truisms:  Tracers, like radar, tell your enemy more than they tell you.
