The addition will ensure that F-15E pilots at the three bases will be able to train virtually with military aircraft pilots located around the world.
The distributed mission operations offer an advanced training environment in which simulators flown by front-line aircrew are linked via the DMON from their home bases.
Boeing vice president for training systems and services Mark McGraw said the DMO allows the US Air Force to simulate combat and training between several bases and dissimilar aircraft, allowing aircrews to train as they fight, right from their home base.
