For certain duties on the littoral combat ship (LCS) platform, Sailors must complete their qualification training at the LCS training facility in San Diego using a process called "Train to Qualify" (T2Q).
A fairly new concept for the surface force, T2Q shifts qualification training from the ship to shore training, enabling LCS Sailors to report to these ships ready to stand their watch and execute assigned duties.
The process trains the crew members in a simulated environment based on USS Freedom (LCS 1) and USS Independence (LCS 2). Simulators integrate LCS command and control, propulsion control and bridge control systems to support individual training in a team environment at the basic, intermediate and advanced levels.

"It was exciting to observe the U.S. Navy's latest technology at work for surface warfare training," said Kirby. "I was particularly struck by the team approach to this training and the manner in which LCS Sailors can really integrate bridge and combat systems during stressful tactical scenarios. We ask a lot of LCS Sailors. This training gives them the tools to deliver."
The LTF is the first surface warfare training facility to provide integrated bridge and combat systems tactical scenario training for Sailors serving on board an LCS. It is comprised of three components which can be used independently or in concert with the others to provide more complex training scenarios.
"To ensure LCS Sailors are prepared to operate their revolutionary platforms, LCS training continuum objectives are derived from the fundamentals, systems and tasks specific to the watch stations their billets support," said Joe Shifflett, LTF director. "Our simulators integrate LCS command and control, propulsion control and bridge control systems to support individual training in a team environment at the basic, intermediate and advanced levels."
