WELCOME
TO THE RSC

The Readiness Support Center (RSC) is the command training and exercise organization aligned with Headquarters USACE to facilitate the annual training guidance calendar of events. In addition, the RSC serves as the center of expertise for the development of multimedia, simulation, and training tools for the readiness and emergency management community. A full catalogue of RSC products and tools is available through this web site and simulation portal.

USACE
SIMULATION AND MODELING

SimSuite is a suite of geospatial modeling applications that provides the emergency management community of practice valuable tools to assist in simulating realistic disaster scenarios. SimSuite applies modeling methodology that enables tactical decision making. Of special interest are Corps of Engineers response and recovery mission predictions (temporary power, debris clearance and removal, commodities distribution, temporary housing and temporary roofing).

USACE
TRAINING

Three levels of targeted training are accomplished through self-paced individual, collective, and simulated exercise environments. Level One covers awareness and knowledge base training while Level Two facilitates task-specific training. Level Three is the professional series for leadership and supervisory positions.

USACE
EXERCISES

Scenario-based simulated events for Table Top, Functional and full scale exercises as well as simulated environments for tactical decision making at all levels of preparedness, response and recovery

Welcome


The Readiness Support Center (RSC) provides emergency management planning, training, project management/development, and response support to the Corps of Engineers and the Nation. Programs administered by the RSC strengthen and ensure USACE’s capability to respond to civil and military contingencies. Supported areas include training and exercise development and simulation and modeling. To this end, the RSC oversees the establishment and implementation of a curriculum and tactical support tools to support contingency responders. The RSC administers this curriculum through self-paced training via the web and disc distribution and through 'live' training, exercises, workshops and conferences. This site provides many of the training title products. Exercise Support Tool programs and multimedia training discs are catalogued as well. The SimSuite is a web-based simulated training tool for various scenarios and is accessible via this web portal.
