From Event Centric to Program Centric

• Accreditation Certification are the bridge from
  an Event Centric to a Program Centric Approach to
  improving joint training training
• FY04 ? Pre-IOC and Supported 4 Events
• FY05 ? Begin Transition to Program Centric
  (Events embedded within nominated programs)
• Begin Accreditation Reviews
• USJFCOM Joint Warfighting Center
• Service Programs
• Support Element Start-up
• FY06 ? Year of Transition
• Continue Accreditation Reviews
• COCOMs and remaining Service Programs
• Support Element Employment Complete
• FY07 ? Program Centric Sustainment

9
Accreditation Program Goals

• Training program accreditation review conducted
• First accreditation review of a Service program
  in April
• First accreditation review of a COCOM program
  will be conducted in early FY 06
• Training shortfalls, if identified, are addressed
• JNTC resources will be focused on providing
  persistent capabilities to address identified
  shortfalls
• Training programs are accredited to conduct
  training on specific joint tasks

10
Certification and Accreditation
Accreditation ensures the appropriate elements
of joint context are present when training to a
specific joint task, or portions of that tasks.
Certification Architectures, configurations,
standards, for establishing a realistic joint
training environment.
LVC Environment
Comms Infrastructure OPFOR tech.
Accreditation and certification are linked in
that certification will make certain that the
systems, networks, architectures, etc., needed to
produce the required elements of joint context
are available and meet the established joint
standard
11
Intent of Accreditation

• To build a process that will ensure delivery of a
  recurring, consistent, realistic training
  environment for all units participating in joint
  training, regardless of location.

• Does NOT imply that joint training can not or
  will not be conducted by programs not accredited
• Does NOT imply that joint training resources will
  not be available to programs not yet accredited

12
Accreditation - University Analogy

• A University (Training Program) is accredited
  not the students (training audience)

• The accrediting agency (JWFC) ensures that the
  University (Training Program) has the required
  resources to provide a quality education
  (training) to the students (training audience)

• What a student (training audience) gets from the
  accredited university (accredited training
  program) is an education (training).

• When a student (a unit) shows up at the job, the
  employer (COCOM) is reasonably
• confident that the student can do the job
  (mission) because the student(training audience)
  was educated (trained) at an accredited
  university (accredited training program)

13
How will accreditation process work?

• Program nominated by parent Service or COCOM
• Program begins developing self-analysis packet
• Assisted by program coordinator and JWFC support
  element (once on station)
• Until arrival of support element, JWFC will
  conduct a 1-3 day visit to help a program develop
  self-assessment

Self-assessment

• JWFC reviews self-assessment, develops a review
  team plan, and assembles the team
• visit message released by CDR of JWFC outlining
  mission, purpose, and end state
• JWFC conducts Accreditation review team visit (5
  work days) consisting of an In-brief (Day 1),
  program review (Day 2), Prepare review package
  (Day 4) (results, shortfalls, and fixes),
  Out-Brief and document concerns (Day 5)

On-site evaluation
Joint Force Trainer Approves recommendation for
accreditation

• JWFC assembles accreditation report which
  includes the nominated programs mitigation plan
  
• Review team recommendations provided to CDR JWFC
