3Issues
- 04CENTCOM01 Need better horizontal integration
of various JFCOM CJCS programs/processes. - Discussion Many JFCOM CJCS programs share
similar goals way ahead, but dont seem to
share analyses, solutions, funding to COCOMs. - Impact COCOMs are inundated with trying to keep
up with the latest developments interim results
in JFCOM CJCS programs, but rarely see
significant information sharing among them or
funding to execute at the COCOM level. COCOMs
are spending extraordinary time, manpower,
money attending meetings executing T2, JNTC,
JKDDC, JAEC, TCAoA, ACTD, SJFHQ, JTS, JMETL,
UJTL, Assessments, JTFCB, JLLP, TIM2, DRRS, JQRR,
IPL, when a single COCOM office is usually given
OPR for all these programs, but no funding to
execute. - Submitted By Mr. Dennis Pytko, GS-13, CCJ3-E,
DSN 651-4082, pytkodl_at_centcom.mil. - Endstate Consolidate programs/processes share
analyses, solutions, funding to alleviate COCOM
PERSTEMPO/budget problems.
4Issues
- 04CENTCOM02 Need baseline JMETL standards for
COCOMs Service Component Commands. - Discussion COCOMs Service Components are
required to follow the processes of the JTS, CRS,
DRRS. Each process has a reporting
requirement, i.e. training/readiness assessments,
JQRR, ESORTS. JMETL is the common reporting
theme. Among commands should exist commonality
in standards in terms of DOTMLPF. COCOMs
Service Components are developing or have
developed standards for their JMETs. These
standards are radically different among commands.
Propose Joint Staff identify the commonality,
among commands, in standards in terms of DOTMLPF
create baseline JMET standards to report
against. - Impact If not done, training/readiness
assessments, JQRR, ESORTS could display data
for CJCS SECDEF that is not comparable, not
complementary, disjointed. - Submitted By Mr. Greg Ginter, CCJ3-E, DSN
651-4079, ginterge_at_centcom.mil. - Endstate COCOMs Service Components report
against baseline standards as a common starting
point to build from.
5Issues
- 04CENTCOM03 Need more JWFC training support
CJCS training funding to COCOMs for
operations/exercises. - Discussion JWFC provides operational train-up
exercise support to COCOMs. Historically, this
support has been provided to two major COCOM
events per FY. COCOMs typically execute 4-5
events per year that require JWFC support, but
have to compete with other COCOMs and JFCOM
Components for support. COCOMs are not resourced
to provide internal assets for operational
train-up exercise support are forced to do so
out of hide to ensure events are executed
successfully. - Impact COCOM operational train-up events
major exercises are not as efficient or effective
would benefit from JWFC support for each event.
Resources taken out of hide to execute events
is a training distractor. - Submitted By Mr. Royce Smith, GS-13, CCJ3-E,
DSN 651-3428, smithrl_at_centcom.mil. - Endstate JWFC provides COCOMs up to five
supported events per year with operational
train-up events taking priority. CJCS provides
COCOMs training funding for additional staff
training required above what JWFC can support.
6Issues
- 04CENTCOM04 The requirement exists for DOD
personnel to conduct planning, coordination, and
support of interagency operations, yet military
personnel are not educated nor trained to
accomplish doctrinal tasks requiring interagency
coordination. - Discussion The National Security Strategy
requires the development, coordination, and
application of the elements and instruments of
national power to achieve national security
objectives. In order to accomplish this
requirement, USCENTCOM must have senior
leadership and staff officers that are educated
and trained in the coordination and integration
of regional interagency activities. Despite the
acknowledged importance of USG agencies and
departments to the mission success of USCENTCOM,
command and agency education and training
programs are not resourced to provide personnel
that can successfully conduct interagency
operations. - Impact Without an interagency education and
training program, personnel will continue to
conduct ad hoc interagency coordination of
doctrinal interagency tasks. - Submitted By LtCol Brad McAllister, JIACG,
651-1960, mcallibg_at_centcom.mil - Endstate DOD provides USCENTCOM with senior
leadership and staff officers who are educated
and trained to accomplish ST 8.5 - Coordinate and
Integrate Regional Interagency Activities.
7Issues
- 04CENTCOM05 More lessons learned requirements
exist than resources are available to execute. - Discussion COCOMs need to be resourced to meet
CJCS and COCOM Commander requirements for
enhanced COCOM Joint Lessons Learned Programs
(JLLPs). Requirements include passive collection
and limited active collection, analysis,
findings, remedial actions, database management
for operations exercises for US military,
interagency, coalition forces staffs. - Impact COCOMs are not able to create or
maintain the type of JLLPs required by CJCS
COCOM Commanders. - Submitted By Mr. Larry Underwood, CCJ3-E, DSN
651-3384, underwml_at_centcom.mil. - Endstate JFCOM/CJCS provides resources to
COCOMs to execute enhanced JLLPs.
