Training Capabilities Analysis of Alternatives
(TC AoA) Alternative 5
We All Know COCOM representatives reported that
personnel assigned to JTF HQ duties often arrive
untrained to execute the specific requirements of
their jobs, and there is no mechanism for
remedial training - TC AoA Study 2004 Front
End Analysis on the Training Problem We have no
solid roadmap to address the small group training
gap, with adequate definitions/task analysis to
be trained, a process to inject new technologies,
and an assessment tool kit to map against the
pedagogy requirements.
Solution Create a collaborative, web based
immersive learning environment to provide
pre-exercise training methods to meet individual,
small group and complex Joint Task Force (JTF)
Staff training gaps. FY08 features a three
pronged approach - Use cases to address
training needs - Operational Gaming Technology
- Assess training technology domains
Relevant Innovation focused to meet Joint
Warfighter Training Requirements

Use Case 1 JTF Staff - Interagency Coordination
Training
Problem 1) TC AoA Report 2004 JTF Staff
augmentees often arrive untrained to execute
the specific requirements of their jobs
2) NORTHCOM 1 Mitigation Issue
Capability to access interagency,
intergovernmental, and bi-national live personnel
assets, response cells, nodes, and systems on a
persistent basis.

• Scenarios/Vignettes (address TC AoA Gaps 1, 3,
  7, 23, 8, 10, 11)
• Respond to Homeland Defense tasking concerning a
  major disaster (fire, flood, hurricane, pandemic)
  
• Coordinate support to DHSs response to a
  terrorist attack (chem / bio)
• Work with JTF security host nation civil
  authorities to provide modern law enforcement
  support

• Service Training

• Deliver web based, immersive, staff training
• Scenario based simulations (IMI level 3-4)
• Promote cross boundary interaction for
  collective training requirements of the Joint
  Interagency Coordination Group (JIACG).
• Assigned individuals train in their JIACG staff
  roles and practice interactions between JIACG
  staff members.

Use Case 2JTF Staff - Logistics Coordination
Training
Problem Statement 1) Exploring using CBRNE
Consequence Management Reaction Force (CCMRF)
Solution Requirements The offerer will
develop web based, immersive, training
environments involving scenario based simulations
(IMI level 3-4) to support collective training
requirements for the JTF J4 (Logistics) staff or
CCMRF. The solution application should
allow assigned individuals to train in their
staff roles and practice interactions between
staff members. Potential Scenarios 1) Weapon
of Mass Destruction (WMD) incident in the
Continental United States (CONUS). 2)
Contamination of water supplies in a major
metropolitan area 3) Mass evacuation pending a
nuclear threat Assumption is that personnel have
no previous knowledge of their roles within the
JTF Staff. TC AoA Gaps addressed 1, 7, 8,
10, 11

Use Case 3
Problem Statement TBD Potential areas to
explore 1) Intel / OPS integration - BDA
process or Joint Intel Preparation of the
Battlespace (JIPB) - ISR integration - IED
Predictive Analysis 2) Train the Trainer
Develop distributed web based training
capability - Joint Personnel Recovery Agency
(JPRA) training for observer-controllers (OCs)
- Joint Exercise Control Groups (JECG) or
Mobile Training Teams (MTT) 3) Cross Boundary
Fires - Adequate pre-rotation air
integration (Joint Close Air Support
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance)
for targeting and fires SMEs to address all
targeting tasks. - Kinetic verses
Non-Kinetic Operational planning training 4)
Other JTF Staff process that need training
emphasis? - High training or staff turn over
rates?

Accreditation and Certification Program Sample
mitigation issues linkage
EUCOM 15 Requires a persistent capability to
provide requisite academic training tailored to
event training objectives, control elements, and
training audiences (TAs). JRTC 11 Requirement
for JRTC permanent personnel to receive training
from formal joint schools. Often personnel
assigned to JRTC have very limited, or no joint
experience or training at all. JTFEX 6
Fleets/Training Commands can provide limited
Service-specific training to the training
audience however, joint trainers are required to
provide academic training on elements of
interoperability for specific Universal Joint
Task List (UJTL) tasks. MAWTS-1 1 Lack the
ability to provide comprehensive training on some
joint doctrine and joint TTPs for its staff, and
for support personnel who augment WTI events.
MSTP 23 Capability to obtain joint training
expertise through joint training/schools when
personnel and schedule permits. This should also
include access to distributed joint
courseware. NTC 37 Expand training provided in
joint fires. The capability to plan joint fires,
deploy brigade combat teams to train with the
special operations forces and other Service joint
fires assets and agencies supporting them in
theater.

So What ?

• Immediate Training Impact FY08
• NORTHCOM scenario supports TC AoA gap resolution
  applicable to other COCOMs
• Provides small group training for Individual
  Augmentees that does not exist today
• Augments effectiveness of existing CPXs/MRXs of
  JTF staffs via a pre-exercise training capability
• Reduces cost due to web based distribution
• - Takes the training to the student, vice the
  student to the training

• Long Term Training Strategy and Architecture
  Investment
• Provide JTF staffs improved training at the
  individual team level during the Joint Exercise
  Life Cycle (JELC) preparation phase prior to JTF
  training events
• Train and Teach the Next Generation
  collaborative, web based, immersive learning
  training environment
• Provides a portal for the use of games, light
  weight simulations, story driven simulations,
  web based virtual environments (e.g. Second Life
  for MMOG)
• These technologies can then be integrated when
  mature and within training modules for which they
  are appropriate

Questions?

Staff Training Architecture (Small group
training using ILES as the training framework)

Section Training (Boards, Centers, Cells)

• A top end ILES Training Module must be
  structured very much like a normal exercise, just
  on a smaller scale in order to achieve a high
  level of interactivity immersion
• Story driven training could be run with little
  or no control structure
• Conceivably, gaming AI technology could also
  reduce or eliminate control requirements
