understanding on building reports.”

The C5ISR Center is an Army applied research and advanced technology development center that
discovers and develops innovative technologies that enable information superiority and tactical
overmatch for U.S. joint forces.

“The course was very realistic as we picked actual fund centers, used live data, and built reports
we were going to need to build at home station,” recalled Oatman. “A lot of the reports we built, I
took back, changed fund centers and started using them right away.”

“There’s still a learning curve, so having a course is very helpful,” added Dawkins, who will be
launching an online, USAFMCOM version of the course developed during her time at FOSCOM in
the near future. “We’re all excited that we will be able to support the field with not only in-person
training but virtual training, too.”

With that look to the future, Oatman said he’s excited about the possibilities the system and the
training opportunities afford.

“I’m not only excited for what I see, but the potential I see,” he concluded. “I’m excited to see what
my reports look like in six months as every time I build a new report, they keep getting better and
better.”
