Michelle Muller, a tactical air control party program manager for Marine Forces Reserve, plots coordinates on a map during the final exercise of the Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company primer course at Avon Park Air Force Range in Avon Park, Florida, Aug. 11, 2017.

The DVTE is a computer system that teaches Marines how to plot coordinates to find a target and destroy it, all through a virtual simulation.
