WJTSC 08-1 USJFCOM Exercise Support Issue
Recording Sheet

• Issue 08-xxx JFCOM support to COCOM events in
  May 09 and 10 will be challenging with multiple
  events executing during the same period.
• Discussion During the JFCOM Support to COCOM
  Exercise Working Group, FY09 and 10 schedules
  were reviewed. It was noted that several COCOMs
  had exercises executing during the May time frame
  for both fiscal years. JFCOM will have
  challenges supporting COCOMs with appropriate
  resources to the level required unless COCOMs are
  able to move events or de-conflict requirements.
  During the Working Group meeting, COCOMs
  indicated that they would review schedule and
  determine best course of action.
• Endstate Ideally, COCOMs would move their events
  right or left to de-conflict requirements. JFCOM
  will provide best possible support based on
  requirements and priorities.
• POAM COCOMs review schedules and discuss with
  their leadership and advise JFCOM on their
  desires by 30 April 08 for FY09 issues and next
  WJTSC for FY10 issues.
• OPR PACOM, EUCOM, CENTCOM for FY09 issues and
  EUCOM, CENTCOM, NORTHCOM for FY10 issues.

JKDDC Stakeholder's Meeting

JKDDC Stakeholder's Meeting
All FY09 Goals and Objectives unanimously
approved by stakeholders, to include sustainment
and transition. Issue Decreased JKDDC budget
levels starting in FY09 Discussion FY09 JKDDC
budget is only sufficient to sustain basic
portal/LMS functionality and sustain a low level
of content development and maintenance. It does
not support expansion into advanced training
technologies to improve content quality and
pursue transformational activities for JKDDC
content development and delivery
architecture. Issue Assigning existing
Support Element (JTFS) JKDDC duties and
responsibilities Discussion Although
separately funded / dedicated JKDDC JTFS are not
desired, JKDDC requirements should be addressed
by existing SE efforts.

JFCOM Plenary Brief

• Topic Development of COCOM Joint Training
  Architecture Views.
• Discussion IAW direction provided by USD (PR)
  Dr. Mayberry letter dtd 12 Dec 07, Training
  Transformation Joint Enterprise Principles we
  must ensure that we understand the operational
  requirements and architectures before we invest
  resources. That direction, coupled with USJFCOM
  UCP tasks as the Joint Force Trainer, establishes
  the need to better understand wider COCOM joint
  training requirements as they fit within the
  greater enterprise. Architecture views will
  assist in better understanding COCOM joint
  training requirements and help us refine the
  direction for T2.
• As a supporting effort JWFCTD is working with
  JSJ7 to enhance JTIMS and the JTS systems of
  record to add capabilities to fully map JCAs
  through COCOM HITRs to Service UJTLs at
  Accredited training Programs.
• Recommendation
• Continuing strategic communications -
  Socializing concept with COCOM J7s.
• Finalize schedule in next 2 weeks (slide
  attached). JFCOM assist with all efforts.
• Adjust schedule to allow for realities of COCOM
  exercise operational schedules.
• Continue to leverage JTS/JTIMS collaborative
  efforts to max extent possible.
