“The availability of immersive learning environments like virtual-augmented-mixed reality afforded by commercial off-the-shelf technology fosters has the potential to create the paradigm shift necessary to deliver the most ready force ever known,” said Lt. Col. Matthew Strohmeyer.
Ya know what else will create the paradigm shift to deliver the most ready force ever known? Fire this asshat and promote someone who can speak meaningful sentences. After a decade in the Marine Corps, I continue to be amazed by the non-speak these officers use to cover their incompetence.

That was historically somewhat rare in the military, I believe? - "virtual-augmented-mixed reality" seems to be intended to make people think about more than just "virtual" reality, which is a somewhat tired concept - "most ready force" is a reflection of the military's priorities (not winning world wars, but being flexible) - "paradigm shift" Ok, I don't have much of an excuse for that one Overall, I think there's a lot to unpack in that sentence. And I would struggle to repackage it in anything less than a paragraph, or a list as above.
