History of IRT

Military training at its finest

IRT is a Department of Defense (DoD) military training opportunity exclusive to the United States and its territories that delivers joint training opportunities to increase deployment readiness.

Simultaneously, IRT provides key health care, construction, transportation, and cybersecurity services with lasting benefits for our American communities.

Information security is one of the most important issues facing the military. It is essential that U.S. military forces keep data and our infrastructure secure.

IRT is developing cyber-security training opportunities to help detect, safeguard, assess, and protect our nation from malicious activity. By building and creating relationships with government agencies and non-profits, we will lead and create innovative processes and procedures to address future threats to our people and critical infrastructure.

Through cooperative partnerships driven by readiness training, IRT is a cutting-edge way to develop essential skills to thrive in contested cyberspace domains.
