==History==

In 1990, the '''[[Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency]] (DARPA)''' employed '''The [[MITRE]] Corporation''' to study the application of distributed interactive simulation principles employed in '''[[SIMNET]]''' to aggregate-level constructive training simulations. Based on prototype efforts, a community-based experiment was conducted in 1991 to extend SIMNET to link the US Army's [https://archive.is/20130822204558/http://www.peostri.army.mil/PRODUCTS/CBS/home.jsp '''Corps Battle Simulation (CBS)''']{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} and the US Air Force's [https://web.archive.org/web/20041019105713/http://afmsrr.afams.af.mil/index.cfm?RID=SMN_AF_1000000 '''Air Warfare Simulation (AWSIM)''']. The success of the prototype and users' recognition of the value of this technology to the training community led to development of production software. The first ALSP confederation, providing air-ground interactions between CBS and AWSIM, supported three major exercises in 1992.

By 1995, ALSP had transitioned to a multi-Service program with simulations representing the US Army (CBS), the US Air Force (AWSIM), the US Navy ('''RESA'''), the US Marine Corps ([https://web.archive.org/web/20070826203844/http://www.29palms.usmc.mil/dirs/ont/mands/mwts.asp '''MTWS''']), electronic warfare ('''JECEWSI'''), logistics ('''CSSTSS'''), and intelligence ([https://web.archive.org/web/20070825010050/http://www.peostri.army.mil/PRODUCTS/TACSIM/ '''TACSIM''']). The program had also transitioned from DARPA’s research and development emphasis to mainstream management by the US Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation ([http://www.peostri.army.mil '''PEO STRI'''])
