ST/OPS deploys state-of-the-art movie industry style special battlefield effects (including Hollywood style pyrotechnics — gunfire, explosions, etc.), role players, proprietary techniques, approved training scenarios, faux facilities like the Tactical Training Lab and Maritime Interdiction Training Site, Hyper-Realistic MOUT (military operations in urban terrain facilities), mobile structures (RHUs, or Relocatable Habitat Units, currently styled as Afghan huts), sets, props, and mobile equipment like the BUG-V, lifelike combat wound medical special effects. The training achieves dramatic results in the areas of Stress Inoculation and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) — improving resiliency and treatment.
