SOUTHCOM WJTC 04 Issues

• 04SOUTHCOM01 Interagency Training and
  Exercise Participation
• Discussion
• Integration of interagency, intergovernmental,
  and multi-national (I2M) into DOD training,
  operations, and exercises requires identifying
  and linking these organizations capabilities and
  tasks to the JMETL.
• IA integration in SOUTHCOM operational exercises
  is problematic due to a combination of lack of IA
  personnel, inadequate funding, or inadequate
  communications to participate.
• To accomplish this, participation in the TIM2
  and UJTL After Next processes by COCOMs is
  essential and should be funded by the Joint
  Staff.
• Impact Impedes linkage of I2M tasks to JMETL
  thereby adversely affecting integration into the
  training and exercise program and impedes unity
  of effort in operations exercises.
• Submitted by SCJ34, Joint Interagency Training
  Specialist, Mr. Gary DeKay, 305-437-3059,
  NIPRNET dekayg_at_hq.southcom.mil
• Endstate Fully identified command linked
  interagency, intergovernmental, and
  multi-national capabilities tasks included in
  the UJTL, SOUTHCOM JMETL, and JTIMS, and
  Exercises.

SOUTHCOM WJTC 04 Issues

• 04SOUTHCOM02 Pertinent JPME Training
• Discussion
• Lack of JPME educated staff officers assigned
  and lack of interagency personnel educated in
  DOD operations impedes integration
• Alternative programs are required to educate
  senior officers, staff officers and interagency
  personnel.
• Distance learning methods need to be developed
  and provided COCOMs for educating military and
  interagency personnel.
• Impact Military and interagency personnel
  assigned to SOUTHCOM are not prepared for joint,
  IA planning and operations.
• Submitted by SCJ34, Joint Interagency Training
  Specialist, Mr. Gary DeKay, 305-437-3059,
  NIPRNET dekayg_at_hq.southcom.mil
• Endstate All military staff officers receive
  JPME prior to assignment to SOUTHCOM. A
  Goldwater-Nichols type program is established for
  the IA to provide trained IA personnel as JIACG
  members or liaisons.

SOUTHCOM WJTC 04 Issues

• 04SOUTHCOM03 Funding for SJFHQs
• Discussion COCOMs were directed to stand up and
  implement the SJFHQ without the necessary
  resources to properly train, equip, or employ
  this new organization. Requirement to be
  identified in FY 07-11 POM.
• Impact CDR USSOUTHCOMs ability to fully employ
  the SJFHQs capabilities is encumbered due to the
  lack of necessary resources (Personnel,
  Equipping, STRATLIFT).
• Submitted By SCJ34, Ms. Karen Castleton,
  305-437-3588, castlek_at_hq.southcom.mil.
• Endstate COCOMs resourced with necessary
  personnel and funding to provide for SJFHQs
  equipping, training, and STRATLIFT requirements.

SOUTHCOM WJTC 04 Issues

• 04SOUTHCOM04 Reduce/streamline the Developing
  Countries Combined Exercise Program (DCCEP)
  process
• Discussion Combatant Commands submit a two-year
  DCCEP plan through JS-J7 to OSD annually NLT 31
  March via msg (forty to fifty pages). OSD
  approval is historically received in Aug/Sep
  timeframe via msg. Approval for Out of Cycle
  (emerging, mission critical) requirements are
  submitted through the same lengthy process and
  many times, approval is not received on time.
• Impact The current process requires extensive
  man hours for USSOUTHCOM, Service Components and
  MILGPs. Additionally, it hinders the commanders
  flexibility and ability to support mission
  critical, short fused, emerging requirements.
• Submitted By SCJ34, Ms. Karen Castleton,
  305-437-3588, castlek_at_hq.southcom.mil.
• References CJCSM 3500.03A, Enclosure K CJCSI
  3511.01
• Endstate A web based, JTIMS compatible DCCEP
  system which requires less man hours, expedites
  approval process and tracks requirements from
  submission to approval (similar to the
  Humanitarian and Civic (HCA) Assistance Program).

SOUTHCOM WJTC 04 Issues

• 04SOUTHCOM05 Transfer of data (import/export)
  from TSCMIS to JTIMS
• Discussion SOUTHCOMs training deployments are
  entered into TSCMIS. Need exists to transfer
  data fields from TSCMIS to JTIMS for those
  training deployments that will form part of
  SOUTHCOMs exercise program.
• Impact Lack of import/export capability
  requires double entry of data requiring excessive
  man hours.
• Submitted By SCJ34, Ms. Karen Castleton,
  305-437-3588, castlek_at_hq.southcom.mil.
• Endstate Operational JTIMS import/export
  capability that provides the capability to
  transfer data fields from TSCMIS to JTIMS.
