"The Army and Marine Corps both consider Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) to be a central part of future training and together have a joint MOUT Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) underway. Training facilities for military and law enforcement agencies include firing ranges, mock towns or villages, and shoot houses. Makeshift facilities for dry fire drills include engineer tape staked out on the ground and rooms in any building available. Training in Close Quarter Combat (CQC) is offered in Army and Marine Corps training courses. Training time was mostly allocated to live fire and live simulation. Team dry fire drills were often extensively practiced before team live fire, but considered as a part of the safety training required as a part of live firing. Before team live fire training, Army units usually conduct individual marksmanship training. In many cases, standards were set for individual qualification before soldiers could participate in team live fire. Live simulation was both with the multiple integrated laser engagement system (MILES) and Simunition. Law enforcement agencies (including Military Police) and Marines were more likely to use Simunition. Those using Simunition who also had experience with MILES preferred Simunition for live simulation training."--DITC.

Throughout the Cold War the U.S. Army prepared to defeat a Warsaw Pact attack into Western Europe. With the fall of the Berlin Wall came the end of the Cold War and increased involvement by the U.S. Army in Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW). How the U.S. Army should address MOOTW tasks in training while maintaining the skills necessary to fight a high intensity conflict (HIC) is an issue of much debate. This monograph examines the question of whether a tactical unit focused on High Intensity Conflict (HIC) can become proficient in tasks required in the execution of MOOTW (specifically Peace Operations) through training to successfully execute MOUT (Military Operations on Urban Terrain) To examine this question, the monograph presents the doctrinal terms and environments of High Intensity Combat (HIC), Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW) and Military Operations On Urban Terrain (MOUT) to highlight the similarities and differences between them and surveys the frequency with which each has occurred since 1932. The monograph presents a summary of a comparison of sixty rifle battalion, forty-five rifle company, and fifty rifle Platoon and Squad HIC tasks from seven different division's Mission Essential Task Lists (METLs) with current U.S. Army MOOTW Doctrine. The monograph concludes that the majority of HIC and MOOTW tasks are redundant. Furthermore, the monograph finds that MOUT provides a unique environment in which to train infantry rifle battalions, companies, platoons and squads simultaneously for HIC and MOOTW. The monograph presents recommendations outlining changes that need to be made to the current U.S. Army MOUT doctrine to support MOUT as a training environment for both HIC and MOOTW. --Abstract.

This manual provides guidance for the organization, planning, and conduct of the full range of military operations on urbanized terrain. This publication was prepared primarily for commanders, staffs, and subordinate leaders down to the squad and fire team level. It is written from a Marine air-ground task force perspective, with emphasis on the ground combat element as the most likely supported element in that environment. It provides the level of detailed information that supports the complexities of planning, preparing for, and executing small-unit combat operations on urbanized terrain. It also provides historical and environmental information that supports planning and training for combat in built-up areas

Urban terrain is among the most complex of military environments and urban combat skills remain one of the most difficult to train. The Office of Naval Research VIRTE (Virtual Technologies and Environments) program is conducting research to enable Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) training for deployed Marines. This report briefly describes the initial development of a virtual environment (VE) specifically tailored to the needs of such training, particularly fighting in confined environments such as buildings.
