Instructions for Vignette II:

Mission Rehearsal Exercise (MRE)

Type: Special rotations (Mission Rehearsal Exercise (MRE))

The Government reserves the right to re-define special rotations in order to meet unforeseen future training requirements. JRTC has the mission of conducting MREs to replicate theater-specific conditions a Brigade Combat Team (BCT) will encounter in a specific Area of Responsibility (AOR). Special rotations add requirements to standard rotations. The additions will be identified by the Government on a case by case basis (driven by FORSCOM training guidance and individual RTU training requirements) and may be in the form of additional role players, cultural role players, extended live fire exercises, additional fire markers and MILES support.

Dates: Designed based on a 21 calendar day training period to accommodate the addition of a Live Fire (LF) portion concurrent with the 14 day training period.

a. CRP Arrival/In-process (1 Jun 20xx)

b. STX Rehearsal (3 Jun 20xx)
