ABSTRACT Prior paradigms for Marine Corps training are established in the context of live, virtual and constructive domains. The objective of this paper is to introduce a new agenda for discussion of training in the domain of mixed reality (MR). Research, experimentation, and prototype demonstration currently underway provides growing understanding of MR experiences; showing how augmented reality (AR) and augmented virtuality (AV) extend real world presence. Alone; however, they do not fulfill the understanding of analysis, preparation or planning for training necessary to achieve authentic, meaningful, and simultaneous immersion for a Company of Marines operating in the synchronized manner to be achieved by Enhanced Company Operations
