Experimentation Testing (ET) in Joint Training
Issue 04-003 Lack of common DoD-wide process for
incorporation of ET into joint training.
Discussion DOTE engages multiple combatant
commands to search for venues. Short-notice
insertions disruptive to exercise planning. OSD
seeking to embed test activity in training to
test with appropriate joint context. USJFCOM
requires training environment to assess
capabilities such as DJC2, SJFHQ. Joint context
and resource limitations require test and
prototyping activity in training. USJFCOM
developed a manual for integrating ET into
USJFCOM sponsored and supported training.
Endstate Common policy for incorporating ET
activity in training POAM Form PAT to develop
DoD-wide process based on USJFCOM Manual, USPACOM
instruction, and other guidance. Develop
requirements for supporting tools and submit
through established requirements process. OPR

DCCEP Process
Issue 04-004 Streamline the Developing
Countries Combined Exercise Program (DCCEP)
process. Discussion Combatant Commands submit
two-year DCCEP plan through JS-J7 to OSD annually
NLT 31 Mar via msg (forty to fifty pages). OSD
approval historically received in Aug/Sep
timeframe via msg. Out of Cycle (emerging,
mission critical) requirements are submitted
through a lengthy process and execution approval
has sometimes not been received on time. Current
process requires extensive man hours for
Combatant Commands, Service Components and
MILGPs. Additionally, it hinders commanders
flexibility and ability to support critical,
short fused, emerging requirements. DCCEP
procedures are codified in Title 10, US Code,
Section 2010. DCCEP funds must be approved by
SecDef in accordance with federal law. Requests
are coordinated through JS J7 and
approved/disapproved by OSD. Endstate Increased
commanders flexibility and ability to support
critical, short fused, emerging
requirements. POAM Combatant commands (e.g.,
USEUCOM and USSOUTHCOM) may wish to consider
pursuing changes to Title 10 through their Legal
and Legislative Affairs shops. JS/J7 will
assist/integrate efforts with CJCS Legal and
Legislative Affairs. However, The process is as
streamlined as federal law allows. No out of
cycle request has ever expired due to delays in
the approval process. The DCCEP Manager will
consult each combatant command during respective
Exercise Conferences to provide in-depth detail.

Joint Staff Officer Training
Issue 06-001 Combatant command / Component / JTF
Staff Training. Need basic joint training, to
include Integrated Operations, for individuals
assigned to Joint staffs. Discussion Majority
of permanent and individual augmentee personnel
arrive unprepared to assume joint staff duties
and there is no established process for
maintaining currency of personnel. Solutions may
include JPME I/II, Web Based Training (JTF 101),
resource specific training AO course (indoc) and
OJT. Endstate Establish Joint Individual
Learning Continuum that meets individual joint
training requirements prior to joint duty
assignment and sustains preparation and
competence throughout professional career through
combination of education, training and
self-development. Joint training programs
systematically update learning objectives and
courses to keep up with the rapidly changing
joint environment. POAM JKDDC JMO execute
FY07 08 PEPs for development, updating and

Integrated Operations Training
Issue 06-002 Individuals assigned to combatant
command staffs are not formally trained on
doctrinal interagency coordination tasks and
continue to execute integrated operations in an
ad hoc fashion. Discussion National strategic
guidance requires USG personnel to plan,
coordinate and implement integrated operations.
There is a need to develop and implement an
integrated DOD-wide interagency training program,
to provide personnel integrated operations
training to accomplish missions. Endstate An
integrated DoD-wide interagency coordination
training program supports combatant command
integrated operations requirements and
incorporates both content as well as throughput
requirements and tracking for personnel.
Deployment systems ensure personnel
deployment/assignment orders contain
assignment-appropriate pre-deployment training
for integrated operations and provide adequate
lead time to accomplish such training. OSD and
JS provide combatant commands with trained senior
leadership and staff officers prepared to
accomplish interagency coordination. POAM

Integrated Operations Education

• Issue 06-003 Personnel assigned to combatant
  commands not formally educated or trained to
  accomplish doctrinal interagency coordination
  tasks staffs execute Integrated Ops ad hoc.
• Discussion National strategic guidance requires
  USG personnel to plan, coordinate and implement
  interagency operations. There is a need to
  develop and implement an integrated DOD-wide
  interagency learning program, to provide
  personnel doctrinal orientation to accomplish
  missions.
• Endstate An integrated DoD-wide learning program
  based on doctrinal guidance in JP3-08 supports
  combatant command interagency coordination
  requirements and incorporates both content as
  well as throughput requirements and tracking of
  personnel. Deployment systems ensure personnel
  deployment/assignment orders contain

TC AoA Alternative 5
Issue 06-004 Combatant commands lack support to
adequately meet individuals / staffs and JTF and
functional component HQ staff joint training
requirements. Discussion Combatant commands
identified requirement to source an organic
training and exercise capability in order to
conduct and manage combatant command specific
training, identify combatant command
individual/collective training requirements and
track and manage individual/staff joint training
and readiness. Joint Training Facilitator
Specialist (JTFS) support provided via TC AoA Alt
5 to the combatant commands (one each initially).
Council of Colonels (COC) unanimous decision to
provide additional contracted support (total of 3
JTFS) to each combatant command, except USJFCOM.
Combatant commands use JTFS to refine JKDDC
development and USJFCOM development of innovative
lightweight simulations and immersive story
driven training to resolve TC AOA gaps in JTP
identified training requirements and existing
collective and individual capabilities.
Centralized development of combatant command
specific modules at USJFCOM can adequately
capture unique requirements that support a formal
individual training program. Combatant Command
submissions to JKDDC should address joint billet
specific individual AO training as well as joint
education. Endstate Combatant commands fully

Incorporate JTA Info Into UJTL

• Issue 06-006 Joint Task Articles (JTA) deletion
  of JTA reference from draft Joint Training
  Policy and Guidance (JTPG). Deletion from the

Insufficient ADL Resources
Issue 06-013 Combatant command staffs, to
include integrated operations participants, not
fully trained to joint mission requirements.
Immediate assistance needed in obtaining
web-based resources to meet joint mission
training requirements Discussion E-learning
content produced by JKDDC is conventional
web-based instructional course-ware. Service
knowledge portals produce content labeled as
knowledge objects, but content is not yet
systematically packaged for reuse. Some combatant
commands have largely unfunded ADL
programs. Endstate A timely, collaborative
process that ensures JKDDC enterprise portal and
courseware development/maintenance supports
combatant command joint mission and integrated
operations training requirements IAW established
DOD quality standards (i.e. SCORM compliant). All
JKDDC content will be registered in the ADL-R for
searchability and reusability. POAM Recommend
joint training shortfalls be identified as urgent
readiness need. T2 funds for JKDDC be increased
by 10M per year to address combatant command
joint knowledge development and distribution
needs through requirements-based approach. Move
to more rapid techniques involving real world
mission planning, analysis and rehearsal. Focus
on rapid development of a common set of joint

Inadequate Resourcing for JFHQ Readiness

• Issue 06-017 USEUCOM not resourced to sustain
  JFHQ Readiness post certification.
• Discussion USEUCOM JTP continues to ride on the
  back of service component incremental funding
  with attendant constraints. JTF certification and
  sustainment training is totally dependant on
  piggy-back arrangements with service component
  certification events. As a result, USEUCOM JTP
  for readiness has collapsed to two, JWFC
  supported events per year. Service component
  incremental funding decreasing as a follow-on to
  force transformation. Forces readiness risk
  management (certification sustainment training)
  requirements are increasing. USEUCOM has no
  resource stream to execute an adequate joint
  forces readiness training program as part of the
  overall command readiness risk management
  program. USEUCOM certified C6F as JTF capable HQ
  and has two year projection for certifying two
  other designated JTF capable HQ, but has no
  program element (PE) to sustain performance
  levels attained during certification process.

Exercise and Joint Training Synchronization

• Issue 06-020 USG exercise programs not
  adequately synchronized to effectively,
  efficiently and realistically exercise National
  Crisis Response readiness.
• Discussion DOD forces conduct exercises with
  civil authorities in the NORTHCOM AOR without the
  knowledge of USNORTHCOM (recommend delete first
  sentence). Scope of national exercises is
  limited by resources. Incorrect procedures can
  be reinforced, leading to actual responses
  without proper authorization, appropriate DOD
  funding and NEP consistency. Lack of
  synchronization contributes to lack of stability
  and predictability. Scheduling and exercise
  design issues still pose challenges to an
  effective NEP. Benefit to the synchronization of
  exercises downward between the services, their
  major commands and combatant commands. Effective
  exercise planning requires a reliable 2-5 year
  schedule for resources. All USG departments and
  agencies do not have adequate visibility over all
  pertinent exercises conducted in their AOR
• Endstate

Immersive Learning Environments (ILES)

• Issue 06-021 Requirement for Large Scale Use of
  Online and On Demand Individual and Group
  Training, Mission Planning and Rehearsal
  Capabilities.
• Discussion ILES is an OSD funded effort to
  resolve the immediate need for an education,
  training, and mission rehearsal capability that
  supports both DoD and interagency partners in
  meeting a new set of homeland defense
  requirements. Our shortfalls include a lack of a
  common training and exercise tool which limits
  opportunities to train with partners and a
  knowledge gap between individual training and
  large scale exercise or real-world events. NORAD
  and USNORTHCOM and JFCOM are hosting the
  development of the ILES prototype to fill these
  missing capabilities. ILES is a flexible,
  on-line, and distributed training and mission
  rehearsal capability that covers the training
  life cycle from beginning to end. Successful
  tests / evaluations have been conducted and ILES
  can significantly shorten the JELC while
  improving knowledge/capability. System evolution
  facilitates joint and Interagency training,
  mission planning, rehearsal, and COA analysis.
• Endstate A solution that supports the training
  and operational requirements of the joint,
  interagency, multinational communities, and Joint
  Knowledge Development and Distribution Capability
  (JKDDC) users. The solution(s) may include both
  an ILES centralized web-based architecture
  integrated within the JKDDC Joint Knowledge
  Online Portal, and a decentralized and
  interdependent approach where ILES is controlled
  by multiple cooperating organizations, with the
  end state in either case to provide a dynamically
  scalable, distributed, collaborative exercise
  environment to provide on-demand individual and

LMS Employment

• Issue 06-023 Use of multiple Learning
  Management Systems (LMS) inhibit the ability to
  integrate training and personnel records and adds
  unnecessary complexity to integration with JTS
  and DRRS.
• Discussion  Joint standard(s) must exist for the
  identification of requirements dealing with data
  needed for a consistent, interoperable tracking
  of learner profiles, competencies or training
  records. Multiple LMSs are being used across the
  Joint Community. Each LMS has different
  requirements dealing with learner profiles,

Integration of Interagency Partners
REVIEW AFTER DoD Training Coordinator DISCUSSION
Issue 07-001 Inadequate integrated operations
partner representation/environmental emulation in
Combatant Command and Service training,
exercises, and experimentation degrades the
quality of these events. Discussion DoD
recognizes the value of role players, senior
mentors, and/or simulation cells to provide
authoritative and realistic interagency input and
support to DoD training and experimentation
events. Other agencies often cannot afford the
level of seniority/experience and commitment that
DoD desires for event design, execution, and
assessment. Endstate A combination of 1.
Improved active duty interagency integration
into the training audience, based on common
objectives, results in mutual benefit and better
prepares all participants for integrated
operations. 2. Improved role playing / white
cell training support simulates interagency
participation in DoD-centric training events. 3.
Improved modeling and simulation assists
scenario development and enhances event
implementation by capturing all agency players
equities. POAM To enhance training and
experimentation 1. OSD/PR develops a strategy
and process for resourcing, prioritizing,
requesting, and scheduling interagency
integration into Combatant Command and Service
training/exercises and experimentation at the
front end of the planning cycle. 2. OSD/HD
benchmarks the DHS NEP Simulation Cell to develop
a similar capability for other DoD mission
requirements. 3. OSD/PR and JS J7 explore,
starting with State/PM, innovative opportunities
to tap senior mentor and role player resources,

Use of JTIMS for Task Proficiency Observations
(TPOs)
Issue 07-003 JWFC DTT Observer/Controllers not
using JTIMS to record TPOs Discussion JWFC DTT
uses alternative protocols that do not readily
synchronize with JTIMS, creating inefficiencies
for operating forces. JWFC stated at WJTSC 06-2
that the JWFC DTT Observer / Controllers would
enter TPO comments into JTIMS as part of event
support. This did not happen for the JTF during
TERMINAL FURY 07. If qualified observers do not
enter TPO comments into JTIMS, the Training
Proficiency Evaluations that feed readiness
assessment will be diminished in value. TPO
comments were entered into JTIMS by JWFC OTs at
Talisman Saber 07 as a demonstration/test. Based
on that test, changes to JTIMS required to enable
population of TPOs and produce a Commanders

Force Request for OSD Allied Participation
Issue 07-006 Combatant commands need an
established process to include JS, OSD,
Interagency and Allied participation in their
joint program events, including a method to
provide strategic lift funding to non-DoD
organizations. Discussion It is essential to
successful combatant command training and
exercise programs to include JS, OSD, Interagency
and Allied interactions. The current system of
record for requesting forces, resources and
capability support to training and exercise
events is JTIMS. As Allied resources are outside
DoD, there needs to be an established procedure
by which functional combatant commands can
identify the level of support requested and
submit that request to the entity that can
evaluate and action that request. As OSD is the
DoD avenue through DoS, to foreign countries,
JS/J7 would appear to be the agent to receive,
collate, forward, track and notify requestor on
these requests. Endstate Codified methodology by
which combatant commands can request OSD and
Allied participation in training and exercise
program events. Method for combatant commands to
provide strategic lift funding to Allied
partners. POAM JS/J7 develop process to
validate and source requirements. Methodology

JTIMS FORCES INDIVIDUAL AUGMENTEE (IA) SOURCING
Issue 07-013 A business rule (process) is
needed to enable sourcing of all exercise force
requirements, including Individual Augmentees
(IA) via JTIMS Discussion USJFCOM/J3 receives
and processes force requirements that sponsoring
GCCs are unable to field. Presently, only units
may be inserted and resourced via JTIMS. Many
exercises require specialty skills (or partial
staffs) that cannot be defined as a unit or
detachment and USJFCOM/J3 states that these
requirements should be filled via Service Systems
(e.g., ARTIMS). As articulated in the Joint
Training, Policy and Guidance (CJCSI 3500.01D),
Joint Training Manual (CJCSM 3500.03B) and on
JS/J7 issue slide 07-006, JTIMS is the system
of record for requesting forces. Multiple GCCs
believe that a business rule (process) should be
established to avoid using disparate systems when
JTIMS can and should serve as the single system
of record for force requests. Endstate As the
joint facilitator/integrator, USJFCOM/J3 work
with stakeholders to establish a straight-forward
business rule (process) that enables all force
requirements (unit and IA) via JTIMS. POAM

Use of Joint Live Virtual Constructive (JLVC)
Federation

• Issue 07-014 The Joint Live Virtual Constructive
  (JLVC) Federation provides the most realistic
  environment to align joint training with
  combatant commander assigned missions,
  requirements and constraints, yet JLVC is not
  provided as part of the standard modeling and
  simulation (MS) architecture for joint
  exercises.
• Discussion Current funding provides Joint
  Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) as the standard
  suite to support the Combatant Command Joint
  Exercise Program (JEP), however, JTLS lacks the
  fidelity to realistically model strategic
  movement and force sustainment. This training
  shortfall was noted in the Joint Staffs Training
  Capabilities Analysis of Alternatives (TC AoA)
  Gap 14. While JLVC addresses this gap, using the
  JLVC federation is an option only with additional
  Combatant Commander funding.

CCDR Requires Joint Evaluation Team

• Issue 07-015 Combatant Commander requires a
  joint evaluation team that can measure Joint Task
  Force (JTF) performance to standard
• Discussion
• Combatant Commanders (CCDRs) are responsible
  for certifying the readiness of HQ staffs to
  serve as JTF-capable HQ. A key element of this
  task is to measure the capability of the HQ staff
  (during a culminating exercise) relative to
  standards. The culminating exercise comes at the
  conclusion of a detailed joint and multinational
  training regimen for the JTF.
• USPACOM requires a qualified team to observe
  and evaluate to standard, provide feedback both
  to the JTF Commander and CCDR, and to provide
  documentation on JTF performance to assist
  individual JTF and theater program improvements.
• Joint Training System (JTS) philosophy and

JTIMS Update Requirement
Issue 07-019 Inconsistent updates of training
assessments in the Joint Training Information
Management System (JTIMS) Discussion JTIMS is
an integral part of a larger system, including
DRRS, that will identify readiness deficiencies
and help develop solutions. Yet JTIMS data update
requirements do not support timely identification
of deficiencies and issues. Joint training
readiness has been identified as a priority
issue by T2 leadership, and use of JTIMS is being
reviewed as part of the 2007 T2 Block Assessment.
Policy (JTM) states the commanders assessment
will be published as part of the annual JTP. A
recent review indicated that 60 of combatant
command JMET assessments are not published in
JTIMS. Policy also states it is critical to
have a linkage between Joint readiness and
training. Part of the T2 Block Assessment is
examining the linkage between DRRS and JTIMS.
DRRS requires assessments every 30 days whereas
JTIMS doesnt have the same rigor. Therefore it
appears there is a disconnect between training
and overall readiness assessments. The linkage
that will send TPAs and MTAs from JTIMS to DRRS
is the technical part of the solution. Endstate
JTIMS assessments will be synchronized with DRRS
requirements to provide a reliable, timely, and
consistent element of the system. CJCS policy

Common Range Scheduling Tool

• Issue 07-020 USPACOM requires a common range
  and exercise scheduling visibility capability
  that will facilitate joint training in the
  USPACOM AOR
• Discussion
• The USPACOM Joint Training Requirements Group
  (JTRG) is a group of flag officers represented by
  all components that meets quarterly to identify
  and resolve obstacles to joint training for
  assigned forces.
• The USPACOM JTRG vets and prioritizes those
  training issues that will assist in enhancing the
  readiness of joint forces in the Pacific.
• One of the training requirements established
  by the JTRG is a capability that enables each
  component to see the range schedules, the
  forces conducting training, and exercise
  schedules of the other components. The
  capability is to be read only without the ability
  to alter the schedules. The capability would not
  cause a change to the existing service scheduling
  tools.
• USJFCOM experimented with this capability with
  the Common Range Scheduling Tool (CRST), which
  was an attempt at providing the capability
  mentioned above. USPACOM was in the process of
  investigating whether the CRST would meet the
  requirement defined by the JTRG, but funding for
  the CRST ended in July 07.
