CCDC's In The Lab

I traveled up to Natick, MA, late last year to learn about the diverse and unique work the team up at CCDC Soldier Center is doing to increase Soldier lethality. Our 26th episode is the first in a series highlighting some of these amazing capabilities. First up in this episode we learn about Monitoring and Assessing Soldier Tactical Readiness and Effectiveness (MASTR-E) project. Working in close collaboration with the 82nd Airborne Division, the project will identify the human performance x-factors that reliably account for sustained dismounted Soldier and squad performance. Then we turn our attention to the science behind creating a healthy and tasty food that can safely stay on shelves for 3 years. These scientist put their heart and brains to providing a small slice of home for our Soldiers all around the globe.
