Despite the intensity of research activity in recent years, the physics of the magnetospheric substorm process still remains a matter of controversy. The STEP period represents an excellent opportunity for substorm physicists to solve some of the outstanding problems they still face. Space scientists monitoring the geospace environment at observing sites well equatorward of the auroral oval have an excellent opportunity to contribute to the ultimate solution of the substorm problem during the STEP interval; however, they will have to focus on specific observational manifestations of substorms if they are to optimize their probability of success. In this paper I shall try to point out some areas where successful observations and interpretation of substorm phenomena at low latitudes would be extremely useful in helping the substorm community resolve their outstanding scientific problems.
