The addition of DCGS-N Increment 1, Block 2 at IWTC San Diego is expected to be useful for students from carrier strike groups and amphibious readiness groups attending information warfare team trainers (IWTT).

It features a total of 111 workstations and provides access for each student enrolled in a team trainer with a DCGS-N workstation, which have been installed for use by the instructors at their desks.

The previous version of DCGS-N deployed at the command had only 24 workstations.

Intelligence specialist 1st class Justin Meisner said: “The DCGS-N upgrade gives instructors greater flexibility in training information warfare teams from the waterfront.

“The additional workstations will allow greater collaboration between team members.”

IWTC San Diego is one of four commands belonging to the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) and is primarily involved in providing information warfare training for navy and joint service personnel.
