CCDR Requires Joint Evaluation Team

• Issue 07-015 Combatant Commander requires a
  joint evaluation team that can measure Joint Task
  Force (JTF) performance to standard
• Discussion
• Combatant Commanders (CCDRs) are responsible
  for certifying the readiness of HQ staffs to
  serve as JTF-capable HQ. A key element of this
  task is to measure the capability of the HQ staff
  (during a culminating exercise) relative to
  standards. The culminating exercise comes at the
  conclusion of a detailed joint and multinational
  training regimen for the JTF.
• USPACOM requires a qualified team to observe
  and evaluate to standard, provide feedback both
  to the JTF Commander and CCDR, and to provide
  documentation on JTF performance to assist
  individual JTF and theater program improvements.
• Joint Training System (JTS) philosophy and
  execution have matured to where training
  audiences need critical insight and clearly
  documented feedback of what they did right and
  what areas require improvement.
• USJFCOM JWFC DTT states these requirements are
  outside their charter.
• Endstate Qualified joint evaluation team
  available to assist in JTF Certification.
• POAM
• Adjust JWFC DTT support to better address CCDR
  requirements for evaluating JTF HQ performance to
  standard in support of JTF certification or
• Provide CCDRs with the resources to establish
  and maintain this evaluation capability within
  theater.

Joint Training EnterpriseRDTE Cuts
Submitted by USJFCOM

• Issue 08-013 The Joint Training Enterprise must
  cut 11.8M from specific FY08 programs to meet
  approved POM 10 funding levels.
• Discussion The directed 31 cut in RDTE
  (11.8M) from FY08 to FY10 will have a major
  impact on the Joint Training Enterprise
  Increased costs to Services and combatant
  commands to execute training Reduction in
  critical capability to support Irregular Warfare
  research and development and, Reduction in
  training capability.
• Endstate Training risk to the Force minimized,
  no mission essential tasks eliminated, schedule
  flexibility optimized, and cost/benefit to the
  Joint Training Enterprise evaluated.
• POAM Combatant Commands evaluate impact and
  develop contingency plans, as required.
• Status New Issue.

GEF-Driven Analysis of CE2 Requirements
Submitted by JSJ7
Issue 08-015 GEF-Driven (CCDR Theater Campaign
Plan) Analysis of CE2 Funding Requirements Discuss
ion The "buying power" of CE2T2 POM funding is
eroding based on prevailing economic trends for
the costs of fuel, directly influencing strategic
lift (air, sea, surface) and commercial
ticketing. With OSD guidance to stay within
CE2T2 and not seek additional resources, the POM
forecast presents a relatively "flat" picture
considering the stand-up of USAFRICOM only
provided an additional 4.5M/year to CE2
(combatant command HQ support). Guided by the
GEF, CCDRs must determine what is the baseline
level of performance against their Theater
Campaign/Engagement Plans as reflected in their
Joint Training Plans and overall exercise and
training programs. CE2T2 funds are allocated
based on historical funding rates, versus a
bottom-up review of baseline requirements. Under
zero-growth, stakeholders are reluctant to
prioritize their requirements across the
enterprise (all stakeholders), as any increase
will result in another command's
decrease. Endstate Enterprise bottom-up review
of combatant command baseline requirements for
JETP, SIF, combatant command HQ Support, JWFC
Support, and JTF/FC HQ Certification, resulting
in a more accurate assessment of CCDRs' ability
to execute their programs. Results of analysis
could be used to rebalance CE2 allocations in
accordance with the GEF. POAM CE2 SLT conduct
baseline review and develop recommendations to
the T2 SAG. Status New Issue. OPR JS J-7

BRONZE ARROW Funding
Submitted by JSJ7
Issue 08-016 Distribution of BRONZE ARROW
funding within the Joint Exercise Transportation
Program (JETP) budget Discussion In FY08 funds
were removed from three dedicated sub-programs
within JETP Bronze Arrow (BA), Strategic Airdrop
(SAD), Maritime Prepositioning Forces (MPF) and
integrated into combatant command strategic lift
budgets. The Mar 2004 version of CJCSI 3511.01
dedicated funds for these programs, but the Oct
2007 revision removed specific funding amounts
but kept the sub-program descriptions. FY08 and
beyond has no money set aside for these
programscombatant commands have the full amount
of the JETP budget. combatant commands are in
agreement to fund SOF movement and participation
within theater, but cannot afford to fund the
long haul into theater. In order to re-establish
sub-program funding, combatant command budgets
must be reduced and funds fenced for SOCOM.
Initial discussion by the SLT at WJTSC 07-2
indicated overwhelming agreement to maintain the
current funding plan. USSOCOM J-33 re-addressed
the issue with JS DJ7. A temporary solution was
reached for an individual exercise in FY08. FY09
combatant command stratlift allocations remain
unresolved. Endstate Resolution of JETP
allocations to combatant commands. Three issues
must be resolved 1. whether to reinstate funding
for special sub-programs, 2. determine method for
reduction of JETP budgets (from the top line or
targeted by combatant command use), 3. identify
the appropriate amount (full requirement or
historical funding levels) POAM CE2 SLT will
discuss during WJTSC 08-2 quarterly SLT meeting
and develop recommendation for the Tri-chair to
be presented at the next Senior Advisory Group
(SAG). Status New Issue. OPR JS J-7 JETD
