MCB Camp Lejeune dedicates simulation center to Col. Nick Davis
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (WNCT) — Camp Lejeune had a dedication ceremony for Col. Nick Davis Battle Simulation Center, the first of its kind in the Marine Corps.
The building lets Marines train for real-life scenarios virtually. Cpt. Nicholas Royer, II MEF Modeling Simulation Officer, said they've been doing trainings like this for a while, but this is the first building specifically for simulations.
'When the time comes, when we are actually counting down the bullets we have available for training, we're not wasting them,' Cpt. Royer said. 'Every single one is going to count because they've had the ability to run this five, 10, 100 times in an environment where there is no cost and the stakes don't matter.'
It's dedicated to Col. Nick Davis who served for more than 30 years. Commanding General Lt. Gen. Calvert L. Worth Jr. said Davis dedicated his time to training Marines.
'Nick was just a good human. He was a man of God and he was fully dedicated to his family and to his country,' Lt. Gen. Worth said.
