OV-1 – SGST in a Distributed Environment JKO Servers AKO White Cell Controller SOCJFCOM Training Audience

Pilot Project with SOCPAC

SOCPAC Event Recap Mission: 3-hour event: N-hour sequence; HA/DR in Sumatra JPG stood up - gained situational awareness Roles included: J1; J2; J3; J35; J39; J4; J6 Conducted mission analysis in response to CDR VOCO: Launch Pacific Survey and Assessment Team Provide launch options for TF-510 (light and medium)

SGST Feasibility Test Assessment Objectives: Determine feasibility of SGST in a TSOC environment, investigating several perspectives How well does SGST facilitate contingency and crisis action events? Does SGST adequately establish an environment to practice SOPs (e.g., N-hour) in a half day event? Might SGST increase SOCJFCOM engagement with TSOCs by providing a capability to complement live training with SOCJFCOM-hosted follow-on events? What is SOCPAC’s perception of the utility to use SGST capabilities to increase engagement with partners?

SOCPAC - Phase I

SOJ5/8/9 Mission SOCJFCOM MISSION: Train Conventional and Special Operations Joint Force Commanders and their Staffs in the employment of Special Operations Force (SOF) focusing on full integration of SOF and conventional forces in both planning and execution to enhance warfighting readiness. SOJ5/8/9: Support USJFCOM joint capability development and experimentation with special operations capabilities to advance interoperability of conventional and special operations forces and make irregular warfare a core competency of the joint force.
