The Joint Multinational Training Command’s Training Support Activity Europe, also known as TSAE, created the state-of-the-art advanced Driver’s Training complex, spread over a 7.6 km area, and consisting of a sequence of eleven obstacles designed to train soldiers navigating the complex in a variety of U.S. and multi-national military vehicles, from the common High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, better known as the HMMWV, to U.S. and NATO European model tanks. Each of the eleven obstacles replicates the dangers and challenges soldiers, Marines and airmen encounter when driving in diverse battlefield environments. The complex, a TSAE project, was brought in on time and on budget and included many improvements not originally conceived at the project's conception.
