Cascade Steel
The use of the Combat Service Support Training Simulation System (CSSTSS) in Warfighter exercises has been limited because of the system's intense logistics focus, data base, and programming. To meet the need to train multifunctional logisticians in a collective environment, the 311th COSCOM conducts its own biennial CSSTSS exercise, Cascade Steel, sponsored by I Corps at Fort Lewis. In addition, training support divisions within the Army Reserve can conduct CSSTSS training on drill weekends. The 311th COSCOM's training program has achieved a balance between individual and collective logistics training and includes a broad spectrum of unit training events. The 3-year rotation of exercises leverages aspects of each of the training programs. By combining them in a sequential rotation, one program's weakness is compensated by the strengths of the others.
