_{The situations were similar to the things I found myself doing in Kosovo. The CDR was some of the best training I've done.}

_{It makes you think under pressure. It's the closest thing to real situations. Not only does the squad leader learn, so does everyone watching.}

_{It puts the Marine on the spot. It's very realistic. I like it better than TDGs.}

_{It allows you to make combat decisions without actually being in combat.}

_{Realistic graphics and scenarios. It forces leaders to make split-second decisions.}

_{It gets you thinking; you see what you do right or wrong.}

_{Puts pressure on the squad leader that you would only find in combat.}

_{It's tough -- so many decisions in so little time.}

_{Some Marines seem to have all the answers. But in front of the CDR, they freeze up because of the pressure and noise.}

_{It is definitely a challenge. Everyone in the room was playing along.}

_{As close to combat as it can possibly get without being there.}

_{Very challenging, ever-changing, and evolves quick rational decision-making skills.}

_{This is good to go.}

_{This system will save lives in combat.}
