Appendix C C-2 ATP 3-09.12 26 October 2021 EMBEDDED TRAINING C-6. Planning and developing the embedded training scenario and simulation data should be a team effort with the intelligence section and FSE. The team should follow these steps: Step 1. Review each phase of the tactical operation to determine and record probable enemy mortar, artillery, and rocket firing locations. Step 2. Sequence the phased firing locations into a simulation target table for the WLR. Step 3. Load the target table using the scenario generation screen. Step 4. The operator selects "ADD" on this screen and enters each target separately with the following elements of data- weapon type, weapon velocity, quadrant elevation (QE), weapon location, impact location, firing interval, time on and time off, and volley. Step 5. After entering each individual target, the operator must wait for a response to determine acceptability of the data entered. If the program accepts the target with no response, the data becomes a part of the scenario target file. Step 6. These targets are entered, numbered, and time sequenced. Step 7. After all targets from the target table have been entered and accepted, the scenario is saved for use in the training exercise. Note. This is a lengthy and time consuming process, and it must have the support and cooperation of the command elements to achieve success. IMPLEMENTING THE SCENARIO C-7. The command or exercise control element determines the commander's priority guidance for WLR, search data, cueing agents, and cueing guidance. These determinations are based on: Scenario. METT-TC. Intelligence estimates. Target value analysis. HPTL. Commander's targeting guidance. Targeting priorities. Embedded training target overlay. Embedded training target table. CUEING AGENT C-8. Cueing agents are designated and provided a copy of the scenario target tables by the command or control element. They must be able to identify the cueing criteria required and the method they are to use to cue the WLR section. When the cueing criteria are met during the exercise, the cueing agent sends the cue command to the WLR. WEAPONS LOCATING RADAR SECTION C-9. After receiving the initial search data and commander's priority guidance, the radar section chief prepares the WLR to support the mission. When notified by the FSE, the radar operator turns on the appropriate simulation targets. The radar operator waits for the cue command from the cueing agent. When the radar operator receives the cue command, the operator turns on the radar transmitter, processes the targets, and transmits them digitally to the FSE.
