VT MÄK’s military tactical trainers provide an affordable, low-overhead, PC-based solution for staff and tactics training. Our trainers allow the student to explore current and future combat operations, practice tactical decision making, and better understand the impact of logistics support on tactical operations. With VT MÄK trainers, students are immersed in realistic wartime scenarios, giving them the opportunity to plan the battle, fight the battle, and evaluate battle decision making.

VT MÄK’s low-cost trainers provide your students with effective, in-depth preparation for live training in the field. When used in conjunction with traditional leadership courses, MÄK trainers provide students with an enhanced learning experience that improves the effectiveness of the overall training program. After completing a conventional lesson, students can practice battle planning, and then jump into an interactive simulation of the battle, applying their knowledge in an engaging, practical exercise. An After-Action-Review component allows instructors to review and critique a student’s performance to maximize the overall training program.

MÄK has worked with the United States military to develop our suite of affordable desktop trainers and tactical decision making simulations. Each of these military tactical trainers was developed in conjunction with the end users to ensure doctrinal correctness.

MÄK’s Family of Tactical Trainers

Battle Command

Battle Command: With Battle Command, trainees assume the role of a brigade, battalion commander, or staff member to practice conventional land warfare planning and execution skills.
MAGTF-XXI: Trainees use MAGTF-XXI to assume the role of a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) commander or staff member to train in expeditionary warfare tactics.
QuickStrike: QuickStrike is a joint simulation environment for effective individual skill and team process training specifically for USAF Air Support Operations Center and Air Operations Center staff. It is realistic, deployable, and simple to learn and operate. Additionally, QuickStrike is easy to customize and modify so you can quickly meet your evolving mission training needs. The QuickStrike trainer puts the training solution in the hands of the warfighter so they can train when the time and personnel are available.
