Maj. Mitchell Clapp, 316th Operations Support Squadron assistant director of operations, observes a virtual-reality helicopter training mission digitally projected over “The Sand Table,” a raised fixture filled with hand-formed sand to model the National Capital Region terrain, at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, Oct. 25, 2022. Up to seven VR simulators -- represented as small helicopter icons on the map – can be linked to track mission progress at the 1st Helicopter Squadron.
