Summary	The most unique aspect of this thesis that should be mentioned is the usage of modeling and virtual environment technology to provide training in joint maritime operations. There is no question that the Navy and the Marine Corps set the standard for joint operations across all services. The EWD could be the maritime operations classroom of the future that could provide instruction and demonstrate the intricate command and control requirements for a successful amphibious assault. The current EWD technology developed in the early 1950s lacks the credibility with our young Marines and Sailors. This investigation of applicable technologies will focus on changing to adapt to their learning styles.
