NEP Purpose
• NEP shall serve as the mechanism for:
- Examining the preparation of the USG and its officers and other officials
- Adopting policy changes that might improve such preparation
- National Level Exercises (NLEs) and Principal Level Exercises (PLEs) will reflect USG priorities, not single Department or Agency programs
• Focus of NEP exercises:
- Designed for participation of heads of Federal departments and agencies and other key officials
- Examine and evaluate emerging national-level policy issues
• NEP directs Agency’s to adequately resource for and participate in exercises at directed levels

NEP Guidance
• NLEs, PLEs, and NEP Tier II exercises will reflect USG-wide priorities, not single department or agency programs
• Full HSC Domestic Readiness Group’s Exercise & Evaluation Sub-Interagency Policy Committee (E&E sub-IPC) recommends exercise priorities/goals/objectives, schedule, and corrective action issues to the Deputies Committee for approval
• DHS/FEMA chaired NEP Executive Steering Committee supports day-to-
day coordination – Develops proposed exercise priorities/goals/objectives, schedule, and corrective
action issues for the E&E Sub-PCC
– Charged with ensuring that all NEP exercises are successfully coordinated and conducted
– Comprised of representatives across the USG
– Defining and drafting a NEP Five-Year Exercise Schedule

Key NEP Points
• NEP goes beyond Tier I and II Exercises
• NEP Affords the interagency a predictable and manageable basis for Exercise Planning
• Consolidates interagency support requirements
• OSD HD is the senior representative for DoD requirements
• Joint Staff J7 also has seats on the NEP ESC and E&E Sub PCC
• The National Exercise Division will:
– Coordinate interagency support for Tier I and II Exercises
– Assist in interagency support recruitment for Tier III Exercises

NEP Status Discussions
• National Exercise Program structure being discussed• Nature/Definition of Tier II under consideration• Exercise “fatigue” is becoming a problem• Alternatives to current Implementation Plan being considered
1) Status Quo with more discipline– 1 NLE, 4 PLEs, 3 Tier II
2) Less Scheduled events– 1 NLE, 2 PLEs, 2 Tier II
3) Biennial Approach– 1 NLE every 2 years, 4 PLEs, 3 Tier II

Update at WJTSC 09-2
Issue 08-003: DOD Participation Challenges in the National Exercise Program (NEP)Discussion: a. New administration transition - Homeland Security Council (HSC)/National Security Council (NSC)
structure has changed somewhat, but and the role of the HSC Exercise/Evaluation Sub-Integrated Policy Committee (IPC) has not changed.
b. 5-Year scheduling challenges in the NEP: No fidelity in future years for Tier I, II, or III exercises; info on state(s) and dates; prohibits future planning for required funding, resources and forces. (National Level Exercise and planning dates through 2010 and some for 2011 have been established).
Endstate: Improved joint training effectiveness and efficiency as directed by Chairman’s Joint Training Guidance. Supported / supporting roles consistent with Plans / Unified Command Plan. Staffs build relationships, conduct realistic rehearsal with actual counterparts.
POA&M: - Use Worldwide Joint Training and Scheduling Conference, deconfliction and combatant command
annual exercise conferences to link multiple exercises, taking advantage of NEP to link exercises / integrate mission areas to ensure regional / mission area coverage.
- Formal process for DOD submissions to NEP has been briefed but not captured in a Chairman’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction. Still need more fidelity on future years exercises regarding dates/themes.
- Support DHS / FEMA / National Exercise Division efforts and use of the National Exercise Simulation Center (NESC) (located at FEMA HQ) to provide national level interagency exercise support and exercise control capabilities.

Issue 08- 011: The National Exercise Program (NEP) establishes a “Transition Training Program” which implements key elements in the Federal Interagency Heightened Alert Concept Plan associated with a Period of Heightened Alert (POHA)
Discussion: The Transition Training Program is a quadrennial Presidential election year cycle of NEP events designed to introduce new and transitioning Principals of departments and agencies and other key officials to existing policies, plans, and capabilities, as well as identifying potential shortfalls, based on strategic estimates of threat and risk. It is a series of briefings, seminars and exercises for transitioning senior officials on USG policies, plans and capabilities for incident management and crisis coordination.
Endstate: The culmination of the NEP Transition Training Program was NEP Tier I Exercise 27-31 July 09 which served as an immersive experience for the senior officials. This was National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09). The central focus of the exercise was prevention, but combatant commands provided significant input to SECDEF, CJCS with respect to Homeland Defense and a transnational terrorist threat. The July Command Post Exercise was preceded by a Principal Level Exercise (PLE) in mid-Jun 09. N-NC also provided training support to other departments via Defense Support to Civil Authorities courses and table-top exercises during March-August 2009.
POA&M: As outlined below. OPRs: DHS-FEMA-National Exercise Division; Federal Departments & Agencies; JS J-7
