• 04JTSB03-01 Increased JFCOM support to
  training
• Discussion JFCOM provides operational train-up
  exercise support to COCOMs. Historically, this
  support has been provided to two major COCOM
  events per FY. CoComs typically require JFCOM
  support for more than 2 per year 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.
  Current JFCOM resources cannot satisfy CoCom
  requirements. Increases required for
  Observer/Trainers, contractor support and
  deployable MS equipment. Initiatives such as
  Pacific Warfighting Center, EUCOM use of Warrior
  Prep Center and JNTC network decrease reliance on
  JFCOM assets. Additional Observer/Trainers and
  contractor support required to meet CoCom
  requirements.
• 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
  are a training distractor.
• Submitted By All CoComs
• Endstate JFCOM support to appropriate number
  of CoCom training events (all forms of training)
• Plan of Action Address as part of JS J7 plan
  to review funding for joint training
• Nominated OPR/OCR JS J7 (OPR) JFCOM (OCR)

• 04JTSB03-02 Integration of lessons learned into
  training
• Discussion Joint Service Lessons Learned
  currently captured by a number of independent
  groups, agencies activities into a variety of
  non-linked databases. Joint Trainers require
  timely access to Lessons Learned analysis,
  specifically tailored to support the requirements
  development process/JTS made available through a
  single access point. CoComs understaffed for
  Lessons Learned support in planning for training
  not staffed for active collection.
• Impact Lessons Learned not incorporated into
  training objective development and event
  planning.
• Submitted By CoComs
• Endstate Easy access to all lessons learned by
  entire training support community.
• Plan of Action JS J7 and JFCOM JCOA are
  developing a lessons learned database with search
  capability. Continue development of common
  database.
• Nominated OPR/OCR JS J7 (OPR) JFCOM JCOA (OCR)

• 04JTSB-05 Funding a Joint Training Specialist
  for Service Components of Combatant Commands
• Discussion Currently Service Component
  participation in joint planning, execution, and
  training is performed out of hide. This is
  evident in the lack of discipline in the
  operation and management of JTIMS. Some COCOMs
  are not using the Forces TAB to identify new
  requirements. This results in untimely
  processing of RFFs by using DMS to state
  requirements. Additionally, COCOMs continue to
  make changes to exercises (dates, force
  requirements, and locations) late in the planning
  cycle. Changes are not being entered into JTIMS
  and are not discovered until planning
  conferences. These late changes create
  turbulence for participating units. In some
  cases the data for exercises in the out years
  have been cookie cuttered from previous years.
  This repetitive data does not provide adequate
  information for sourcing decisions based on
  training value for participating units. All of
  these situations, plus others, can be directly
  attributed to lack of at least one Joint Training
  Specialist at the Service Component level. As
  the Joint Training System and Training
  Transformation move toward full implementation,
  additional joint training responsibilities will
  be incorporated into Service Component missions.
• Impact Without additional resources to meet
  all of the additional responsibilities required
  by the Joint Training System and Training
  Transformation, Service Components will
  experience difficulty in meeting all joint
  requirements. This situation will put the
  Service Components at risk with respect
  synchronizing joint requirements and service
  requirements.
• Submitted By U.S. Army Forces Command
• Endstate Adequate funding to Service
  Components for staffing a Joint Training
  Specialist
• Plan of Action Address as part of JS J7 plan to
  review funding for joint training
• Nominated OPR/OCR JS J7 (OPR)

• 04JTSB03-03 CoComs lack understanding of JS J3
  role as Global Force Manager JFCOMs role as
  Primary Joint Force Provider and impact of this
  mission on CoComs
• Discussion JFCOM was recently assigned mission
  as Primary Joint Force Provider as part of Global
  Force Management. JFCOM will make
  recommendations to JS on global sourcing. CJCS
  is the Global Force Manager and will make all
  decisions on force providing. JFCOM is still
  developing the procedures and resources required
  to execute this mission. CoComs require
  education and applicable training on procedures
  associated with GFM, particularly as it might
  impact CoCom-assigned forces.
• Impact CoComs unclear on their role in GFM
• Submitted By EUCOM, TRANSCOM
• Endstate CoComs fully educated on role in GFM
  mission
• Plan of Action JS J3 ICW JFCOM lead effort to
  educate CoComs as required. CoComs leverage
  appropriate rep on newly established GFM FCB to
  educate CoCom staff on process
• Nominated OPR/OCR JS J3 (OPR) JFCOM J3 (OCR)

• 04JTSB03-04 Guidance, policy and implementing
  instructions for readiness reporting and training
  are not coherently integrated.
• Discussion DRRS mandates reporting by JMETs.
  JMETs have traditionally been the purview of the
  training support community. DRRS is broadening
  the JMETL community. Current instructions that
  address JMETL development are in the training
  community. OSD CJCS policy is required that
  elevates the requirement for UJTL language to
  describe readiness, planning, training and
  capability development outside the training
  community. Knowledge management tools to include
  JTIMS, JDRAT, ESORTS need to be standardized and
  interoperable. JFCOM is tasked to develop a
  master JMETL after analyzing CoCom JMETLs.
• Impact Unable to directly link training
  assessment to mission readiness assessment and
  reporting. The lack of training and readiness
  integration will impede accomplishment of JFCOM
  master JMETL task.
• Submitted By JFCOM ICW CoComs and CSAs
• Endstate CJCS policy on use of common language
  (UJTL) and Interoperable readiness and training
  tools. Master JMETL with baseline T,C, and S
  developed by JFCOM ICW CoComs, JS
• Plan of Action OSD and JS ICW CoComs,
  Services and CSAs collaborate on development of
  required policy. JFCOM begin master JMETL
  development by collaborating with CoComs on
  required level of detail.

• 04JTSB03-06 JFCOM CoCom Coordination visits must
  be scheduled at COS level
• Discussion JFCOM is coordinating with CoComs
  for command-wide team to visit each CoCom to
  discuss required support from JFCOM. Intent is
  to minimize the multiple visits from across
  JFCOM. First visit to STRATCOM recently
  completed. JFCOM currently coordinating future
  visits. These visits must be coordinated at the
  COS level in order to get the attention required.
  Agenda needs to be tailored to CoComs needs.
  Follow-on documentation of visit results by JFCOM
  and provided to CoCom also required.
• Impact Outcomes from visits should influence
  WJTC agenda
• Submitted By JFCOM
• Endstate CoCom visits coordinated
• Plan of Action JFCOM continue coordinating
  visit dates and ensure COS JFCOM engages
  counterparts

• 04JTSB03-07 Lack of common DoD-wide process for
  incorporation of testing and experimentation in
  joint training
• Discussion OSD Training Testing Steering Group
  is seeking to embed test activity in training in
  order to test with appropriate joint context as
  tasked within SPG 06. JFCOM, as the joint force
  integrator and experimenter, also requires the
  training environment to assess capabilities such
  as DJC2, Blue Force Tracking and SJFHQ. The need
  for joint context and resource limitations
  require some test and prototyping activity in
  training. This has to be carefully done so as
  not to impact commander's training objectives.
  JFCOM has developed a manual that outlines the
  process the test and experimentation community
  will use for integrating into JFCOM sponsored and
  supported training. JFCOM could serve as one
  stop shop for DOTE and experimentation
  community for integration into training.
• Impact DOTE forced to engage multiple CoComs
  to search for venues. Testing experimentation
  short-notice insertions are disruptive to CoCom
  exercise planning.
• Submitted By JFCOM
• Endstate Common policy for incorporating
  test/experimentation activity in training
• Plan of Action JFCOM ICW JS staff policy
  (CJCSI?) and integration manual (CJCSM?) for
  possible adoption into CJCS policy (JTM)

• 04JTSB-08 Procedures for accessing RC forces
  for CoComs training are unclear
• Discussion To deploy OCONUS to imminent danger
  areas, RC members must be in active status (paid
  by active appropriations). How RC forces are
  provided under Global Force Management is not
  clear.
• Impact Unless COCOMs are aware of the policies
  and procedures for accessing RC forces - and
  JFCOMs role in the process - in an other than
  mobilized status, RC forces may not be available
  to support COCOM exercise and training events in
  a timely and efficient fashion.
• Submitted By OSD (RA)
• Endstate COCOMs fully aware of the policies and
  procedures - and JFCOMs role in the process
  for accessing RC forces to support exercise and
  training events.
• Plan of Action Publish sourcing policies and
  procedures (TRO) for RC and JFCOMs role in the
  sourcing process.
