Interagency Coordination

• Background
• There is no single DoD office/clearinghouse to
  collect, prioritize, and coordinate requirements
  for Interagency participation in joint exercises,
  training, or experimentation
• Non-DoD departments and agencies service DoD
  requirements on a first-come, first-serve or ad
  hoc basis
• Several WJTSC Issues (e.g., 07-001) emphasize the
  need for a defined process and for increased
  participation
• OSD (PR)s Stability Reconstruction initiative
  (Training Strategy Concept Paper) assigns the
  responsibility to JS/J-7 (for DoD), and to
  DoS/CRS and USAID/DCHA for Stability
  Reconstruction (i.e., SSTR) exercises, training,
  and experimentation
• Strategy briefed to Senior Leader Round Table on
  11 Sep 07

24
Coordinator Responsibilities

• R S Training Strategy Recommendation No. 3
  identifies Training Coordinator responsibilities
• Training Coordinators for DoD, DoS, and USAID
  will develop appropriate internal and external
  processes for
• Collating, prioritizing, and adjudicating
  internal exercise, training, and experimentation
  requirements (i.e., DoD requirements of other
  departments/agencies)
• Prioritizing and adjudicating external training
  support requests (i.e., DoD support to other
  departments/agencies)
• Timeline
• 9 Jan 08 - internal processes developed and
  staffed
• 5 Apr 08 - external processes documented in
  approved MOUs

How best to accomplish this, leveraging existing
processes/products?
25
DoD Process - Initial Thoughts

• DoD Internal Requirements Process
• Identify stakeholders
• Identify formats (e.g., JTIMS) and timelines for
  submitting requirements
• Collect and collate requirements
• Stakeholders collaboratively adjudicate and
  prioritize requirements
• Formally coordinate prioritized list (e.g.,
  JSAP)
• Provide prioritized list to Interagency
  Coordinators
• Provide Interagency Coordinator responses to
  stakeholders and conduct further adjudication, if
  necessary
• Finalize execution plan
• Track execution and report results
• Coordinate emerging requirements changes

• DoD External Requirements Process
• Collaboratively review and adjudicate (solicit
  or designate responsibility for) Interagency
  requests
• Formally coordinate prioritized list (e.g.,
  JSAP)
• Report back to Interagency Coordinators
• Track execution and report results
• Coordinate emerging requirements changes

• Related Processes
• Semi-annual WJTSC conferences (Spring/Fall)
• NEP Exercise/Evaluation PCC (Summer)
• USJFCOM Joint Training Coordination Conference
  (Winter)
• USJFCOM Interagency Training Catalog

• Supporting Tools
• JTIMS
• JKO

DoD Stakeholders Combatant Commands, Services,
Combat Support Agencies, OSD, Joint Staff
The Strategy applies only to RS (SSTR) related
requirementsshould this be expanded to all joint
training, exercises, and experiments? Or,
implement for RS first, then consider expanding
to all requirements
26
Interagency Coordinator Responsibilities
OSD (PR)s Stability Reconstruction initiative
(Training Strategy Concept Paper) recommends
- Collate requirements across the USG Agencies
and develop a net-centric Lessons Learned system
that addresses whole of government lessons
learned needs - OPR
S/CRS, USAID/DCHA, OSD (P)/STB, CCO, JS J7 and
the US Institute of Peace - Requirements
identified by 1 Feb 08, Lessons Learned system in
place Aug 08.
27
Develop a net-centric system to collect
Reconstruction and Stabilization Lessons Learned

• The Joint Lessons Learned Information System
  (JLLIS) is the current DoD Lessons Learned (LL)
  system in development. JLLIS is net-centric, GIG
  compliant, interfaces with JDEIS, JTIMS, DRRS,
  and can be utilized on both NIPR and SIPR
  systems.
• JLLIS consists of an input tool that can be
  tailored to meet organizations business rules and
  a Joint Lessons Learned Repository (JLLR) that is
  a searchable archived database.
• JLLIS could be used by DoD and the Interagency
  for the collection of Reconstruction and
  Stabilization (RS) LL.
• - Specific links in the system could be
  activated for the collection of RS LL allowing
  the current system to be utilized with little or
  no additional cost
• - Organizations that do not utilize JLLIS
  for their normal LL collection could be given an
  instance to collect, archive, and manage RS LL
• JLLIS is the most cost effective and efficient
  system for this requirement.
