Through the Warfighter Training Readiness Solutions (W-TRS) program, AST provides highly skilled Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), analysts, operators, and technical personnel supporting the full spectrum of Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations (TADSS), the Synthetic Training Environment (STE), and Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) training operations.

AST personnel ensure the availability, reliability, and operational effectiveness of critical training systems that prepare Soldiers and leaders for complex, multi-domain operations.

These experts support all phases of rotational training exercises, including planning, execution, monitoring, tracking, computer operations, real-time data collection and assimilation, training analysis, and the development of comprehensive After Action Reviews (AARs) and Take Home Packages (THPs). Their efforts provide commanders and units with actionable insights that improve combat effectiveness, accelerate learning, and drive continuous readiness improvement AST also supports Army-wide lessons learned initiatives by collecting, analyzing, and providing operational data to the Combined Arms Center (CAC) and the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL), helping identify capability gaps, inform doctrine and training development, and enhance force readiness across the Army.

In addition, AST provides Heavy Equipment Operators (HEOs) responsible for the movement, setup, integration, and operation of Mobile After Action Review (MAAR) Vans and Mobile Video Units (MVUs), ensuring the successful capture and presentation of critical training observations during every rotational exercise.

Our support further extends to facility operations, including on-demand custodial services, health, safety, and sanitation inspections, as well as comprehensive maintenance support ranging from operator-level services through depot-level repairs for tactical and commercial vehicle fleets, generators, light sets, smoke generators, battlefield effects systems, and associated ancillary equipment.
