This virtual staff ride examines a joint coalition task force liberating the city of Fallujah, Iraq in 2004. The study encompasses large-scale combat operations in dense urban terrain with a focus on joint, combined arms operations of two US Army battalions under the operational control of the 1st Marine Division.
This study is particularly suited for the discussion of enduring insights of complex urban operations at the battalion to division levels. It can also be tailored to concentrate on issues relevant to leaders at lower levels.
The Fallujah VSR is fully exportable to any organization that has access to the Army-licensed gaming software, Virtual Battlespace 3 (VBS3). Each exportable package includes full instructor support materials, student readings, and instructions on how to use everything. Please see below.
