In general, you will walk away with a better understanding of an area of military vehicular operations that is often overlooked and not often appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Learn about the training support operations relating to these vehicles, especially the development of Egress Trainers for the HMMWV and MRAP vehicles.\u00a0 In addition, several other items such as the employment of combat training simulators in theater will be looked at as well.<\/p>\n<h5>About the Series<\/h5>\n<p>The Studebaker Museum Speaker Series is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium.
