Every Soldier is a Sensor (ES2) encompasses a range of training initiatives designed to inculcate tactical curiosity in Soldiers at all levels across the force and drive significantly enhanced reporting about the environment, baseline norms, changes, personalities, relationships and other tactically relevant information all key to achieve the situational understanding so important in warfare against adaptive enemies. ES2 training modules start at Basic Entry level, and an ES2 simulation pilot program, available worldwide via the Army Knowledge Online (AKO) website, is now operational at the Armys largest entry level training center (Fort Jackson, South Carolina). http://www.army.mil/aps/07/addendum/n.html - scroll down
