Issue 11-006: Joint Staff Joint Concept Development & Experimentation (JCD&E) efforts have not efficiently leveraged joint exercises in order to enhance concept development and experimentation to validate and deliver solutions to the warfighter.

Discussion: Historically, Joint Concepts and Experimentation, and Joint Exercises have not been formally linked in planning and execution over time. JS J-7 desires to investigate integrating potential capability solutions identified in concept development and experimentation plans from the Program of Work, into experimental variations on planned Joint Exercise training objectives.

Endstate: A more efficient means of evaluating potential capability solutions by leveraging planned CCMD and Service exercises. Alignment of Commander’s capability gaps (as identified by JCD&E needs, Integrated Priority Lists, etc…) with potential capability solutions synchronized with exercise and experimentation opportunities equal success.

POA&M: Short Term: Identify the planning cycles for JCD&E and Joint Exercises, identify types of candidate experimentation projects and exercise opportunities, develop the integrating function and events, discuss and develop proposed language changes for CJCSIs 3010 and 3500.

Long Term: Synchronize the planning cycles to increase opportunities for resource efficiency and application leading to potential use of Joint Training and Exercises for embedded experimentation.

Issue 11-007: The USJFCOM disestablishment resulted in the elimination of the JNTC Opposition Force (OPFOR) program. Service stakeholders consider the JNTC OPFOR program, which provided joint, integrated tactical level OPFOR systems, one of their highest priority programs.

Discussion: During the USJFCOM disestablishment efficiencies discussions, the JNTC OPFOR program was considered redundant to other Service OPFOR programs. OPFOR resources managed by the JNTC program for the joint training environment were subsequently eliminated. Development, procurement, and sustainment of these tactical level joint systems was considered by the Service stakeholders to be a critical element of joint context within their tactical level training programs.

Endstate: A jointly managed OPFOR program that provides a realistic joint training environment at the tactical and operational level, commensurate with clearly identified needs within a resource constrained environment.

POA&M: Clarify requirements planned for 13 Dec JNTC Corporate Board, select a course of action, establish program management business rules for planning and execution, submit requirements for resourcing, approve funding allocations, and execute the plan.

Issue 11-008: The USJFCOM disestablishment and fiscal realities have created change that has altered the original mission and intent of the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC). The program should be re-baselined to ensure its effort is appropriately scoped and focused.

Discussion: The standup of DDJ7 Joint and Coalition Warfighting changed key elements of organization structure, resources, mission, priorities, processes, and governance, which directly impact the JNTC program as originally envisioned and established 10 years ago. To remain viable and an effective asset in supporting Service and Combatant Command training programs and the joint training environment, the JNTC program’s value, cost, priorities, processes, and governance must be evaluated and redefined.

Endstate: A program that continues to provide joint training programs with a realistic training environment, using a transparent and collaborative business process to identify demand driven requirements, focused and prioritized to meet program goals in a constrained fiscal environment.

POA&M: Short term plan to meet FY 13 goals completed at Oct JNTC Corporate Board, Stage 2 of effort planned for 13 Dec, integrate long and short term plans, get approval for key strategies, begin to “re-brand” JNTC, execute the plan and strategy, and assess and adjust scope and focus.

Issue 11-009: Delays in receipt of CE2 funds at beginning of FY place CCMD exercises at risk and cause decreased CE2 obligation rates

Discussion: Under current fiscal environment, CCMD support agencies are no longer able to cash flow CE2 exercise engagements while CCMDs await CE2 O&M funds. Historically, CE2 funds do not get disbursed to JS until mid-November. Having CE2 funds disbursed earlier in the fiscal year allows CCMDs to smooth flow exercises throughout the fiscal year.

Endstate: CE2 funds disbursed (or spending authority given) NLT first business day of the fiscal year.

POA&M: Determine base line requirements, determine impacts of late funding to CCMD joint exercise plans, develop way ahead with OSD & WHS.

Issue 11-010: Lack of a defined technical baseline to support Joint Force Development has resulted in duplication and inefficiency in the community.

Discussion: The current technical baseline supporting Joint Force Development is not formally documented. As a result, development efforts are initiated without reviewing the baseline to determine if capability already exists, if it is planned, or if it is required. In a resource constrained environment we must describe what Joint capabilities we currently have to determine where we are going based on what we need.

Endstate: A collaborative, disciplined process to establish and control the baseline to enable efficient management and effective use of research and technologies in support of Joint Force Development

POA&M: Clarify intent and guidance, establish collaborative forum to define the baseline, determine baseline requirements, develop initial baseline, identify resource implications, and present to Stakeholder Leadership Team for approval.

Issue 11-011: Lack of defined operator need for Australia, Canada, Great Britain, United States (ACGU) Training Enclave has resulted in a technical solution without long term sustainment.

Discussion: ACGU Training Enclave grew out of an Australia Minister of Defence - US Secretary of Defense memorandum of agreement. POTUS directed a fundamental change in the way the US shares information with its trusted mission partners. Technical community built on the Australian DTEN – US JTEN connection to put in place a solution consistent with POTUS intent. Lack of a defined ACGU requirement has resulted in a technical solution without long term sustainment. Detailed operator requirements and wider audience (experimentation, testing and concept development) buy-in is now needed for the project to survive.

Endstate: Full operator buy-in, event scheduling and support for ACGU Training Enclave. ACGU Training Enclave exists because an operator needs it.

POA&M: ACGU countries brief leadership on enclave capabilities, use existing ACGU collaborative forum to document requirement, vet and analyze requirement, propose final technical architecture and resources required to implement and sustain, present to Stakeholder Leadership for approval.

Joint Staff Officer Proficiency

Issue 08-017: The ramp up time to achieve desired proficiency for officers reporting for joint assignment at combatant commands is too long.

Discussion: The results of the Joint Staff Officer (JSO) Study included the desired 15 core competencies for Joint Staff Officers identified by combatant command senior leadership. Lack of competency in identified areas were found to result in extended ramp up time for officers to achieve desired proficiency levels in joint staff officer tasks. Combatant commands expressed interest in the Joint Staff J-7 leading the development of Joint Staff Officer training support resources to close the identified proficiency gap.

Endstate: Establish an individual learning curriculum that leads to the reduction in time for officers to become proficient in joint staff officer duties.

POA&M: Joint Staff J-7 in coordination with the combatant commands develops joint staff officer training support resources. JS J7 designs draft JSO individual learning curriculum leveraging existing resources. Makes curriculum development decision and assigns responsibilities. Develops draft JSO curriculum and conducts Alpha tests. Determines and adopts efficient and effective delivery methodology. Integrates final JSO curriculum into combatant command training programs.

UNCLASSIFIED Joint Assessment – Observations, Best Practices, and Issues

Issue 06-007: Joint Training Assessment process is necessary to identify, analyze, validate, and advocate for joint training resource requirements.

Discussion: The Joint Training Assessment effort was pared down to focus on five key focus areas briefed at WJTSC 11-2: Cyber Training, Refined Issue Resolution / Lessons Learned Process, JTIMS / JLLIS Utilization, Interagency Engagement, JCD&E Alignment with Joint Training, and the Chairman’s High Interest Training Issues (HITIs). JS J-7 SP JETD and JCW Synchronization and Integration Branch are developing a methodology that assesses the training proficiency of combatant commands on the key focus areas and the HITIs. The combined JS J-7 SP / JCW training assessment process will identify material and non-material shortfalls which will then be validated and analyzed for solution.

Endstate: Analysis of training assessment data of the key focus areas and HITIs results in a snapshot of compliance with HITI-targeted training. Additionally, this process will identify joint training / resource requirements for consideration. It will also validate and advocate in joint requirement / resource forums; and report to senior leadership.

POA&M: JS J-7 SP JETD and JCW S&I will continue to meet on a regular basis to develop a briefing. The current target is to conduct the inaugural brief at the Council of Colonels session at WJTSC 12-1.

Issue 10-006: Current integrated operations training and exercise strategy, planning, resourcing and implementation is not adequate to support current and future integrated operations requirements.

Discussion:

• USG recognizes that we must train together to effectively conduct integrated operations; however, lack:

- a comprehensive interagency training engagement strategy

- a common integrated operating picture

• Inadequate funding exacerbates the challenges of conducting integrated operations training.

• Knowledge of one another's cultures/capabilities is critical to development of training and exercise.

Endstate: Integrated operations training events reflect USG national security objectives.

POA&M: 1. Develop a comprehensive DOD training and education strategy that includes a funding strategy.. 2. Advocate for a USG training strategy. 3. Develop a CJCSI that implements the DOD strategy. 4. Review mission essential tasks in collaboration with USG interagency partners. 5. Assess effectiveness of impact of integrated training. 6. Establish an Interagency Training Community of Interest Portal.

Issue 12-xxx: Scheduling resources to support combatant command events is challenging given daily OPSTEMPO, personnel, fiscal, and time constraints and multiple events executing during the same period. Need overall prioritization/de-confliction resolution process for Combatant Command Exercises.

Discussion: Constrained JCW resources preclude to support competing combatant command exercises requiring deployable training team, scenario development, models and simulation, C4I and other SMEs training support assets. Authority has been given to Joint Staff to synchronize/de-conflict combatant command exercises. Current exercise forecast have scheduled major combatant command exercises (Ardent Sentry, Austere Challenge, Terminal Fury, etc.) back to back or overlapping, limiting the JCW’s ability to support. In the future, exercises must be more evenly distributed across the fiscal year. A process for settingh priority must be instituted and enforced by JS J-7.

Endstate: Robust resolution process run by Joint Staff involving all stakeholders that effectively de-conflicts combatant command exercises (recommend at least one working group at each WJTSC). Conflicting resolution issues to be resolved by the CE2 SLT at each WJTSC.

POA&M: Joint Staff institutionalize the criteria for prioritization to assist in adjudication during their exercise scheduling conferences with stakeholder representation (combatant commands, Services).
