Exercise Budgeting

Terminal Learning Objective Action: Exercise Budgeting Conditions: FM Leaders in a classroom environment working individually and as a member of a small group, using doctrinal and administrative publications, self-study exercises, personal experiences, practical exercises, handouts, and discussion Standard: Analysis includes: Funding, issues, and procedures for a Combat Training Center (CTC) rotation Funding, issues, and procedures a Warfighter exercise Funding, issues, and procedures a Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) exercise Exercise requirements for a tactical unit conducting a major training exercise

Combat Training Centers National Training Center Joint Readiness Training Center Joint Multinational Readiness Center

National Training Center Provides tough, realistic joint and combined arms training Focus at the battalion task force and brigade levels Assist commanders in developing trained, competent leaders and soldiers Identify unit training deficiencies, provide feedback to improve the force and prepare for success on the future joint battlefield Provide a venue for transformation

Joint Readiness Training Center Heavy integration of Air Force, Navy, Marine, host nation, and civilian personnel Realistic training Emphasis on joint service teamwork Soldiers are trained to deploy on short notice and be prepared to fight upon arrival

Joint Multinational Readiness Center Located in Hohenfels, Germany Provides realistic joint and combined arms training Trains up to task-organized brigade combat team and selected division maneuver assets Conducts Mission Rehearsal Exercises Supports Corps level aviation deep attack exercises

Mission Command Training Program MCTP Objective - The Mission Command Training Program supports the collective training of Army units as directed by the Chief of Staff of the Army and scheduled by Forces Command in accordance with the ARFORGEN process at worldwide locations in order to train leaders and provide Commanders the opportunity to train on Mission Command in Unified Land Operations MCTP Mission = - Mission Rehearsal Exercises for deploying units - Warfighter Exercises for contingency force units - Senior Mentors to train the Army’s Senior Leaders - Professional Observer, Coach/Trainers - Robust simulations - Competitive OPFOR

CTC Funding Functional Area 115012 Rotations are programmed years in advance CTC missions are funded separately Each CTC has its own MDEP NTC = WCNT JRTC = WCJT Functional Area 115012 JMRC = WCCM Funds are based on troop list template Last minute changes are a direct cost to unit’s OPTEMPO funds

OPTEMPO Funding vs. CTC Funding CTC Funding for CLASS IX Repair Parts CTC Funds OPTEMPO Funds Exercise-specific requirements during deployment, exercise, and redeployment Lease of Vehicles, Equipment, or Real Property Civilian Employee Overtime HAZMAT Handling or Disposal Damage to CTC Equipment or Property Emergency Aviation Maintenance Support Supplies and Equipment Train-up Pre-deployment Prep Recovery Operations Supply Stockpiling

NTC Funding Cycle D-Day Deployment day from home station R-Day Regeneration day D-360 NTC Preparation begins D-120 FORSCOM approves unit’s Troop List D-60 Unit sends DD Form 448, MIPR, DODAAC, and APCs to DRM, Fort Irwin D-30 Unit coordination with DAO, Fort Irwin for finance support must be completed R+8 Unit clears NTC R+38 All accounts settled with NTC R+65 Unit submits After Action Report

A Warfighter Exercise Is A Major Training Event for Corps and Division Commanders and staffs Is Run by BCTP at Fort Leavenworth, KS Is Driven by the Simulation System Is Focused on Battle Command and control Is Conducted at Unit’s Home Station Has Limited Troop and Equipment Requirements Has Significant Contractor support

Warfighting Funding MDEP = TCBC Functional Area = 115012 BCTP Funding Covers: Planning conferences Training seminars TDY transportation Normal warfighter exercise operating costs (including contractor support costs)

Unit Funding (OPTEMPO) Normal operating costs Additional player personnel participation Observer controller augmentation Civilian overtime Contracts Expendable supplies

A JCS Exercise Is CJCS Directed and Controlled Involves Two or More Armed Services

Phases of a JCS Exercise Pre-deployment/Deployment Exercise Re-deployment/Recovery

Resource Manager (RM) Tasks Participate in staff planning process Capture costs Obtain funds Monitor, coordinate, and arbitrate Close accounts and settle final MIPR amount Participate in after action review and report

JCS Exercise Budgeting Tools DTO Unit budget estimates Past exercise final cost reports

JCS Exercise Budgeting Cycle Exercise Commences Before the Unit Receives Exercise Warning Order Unit Submits Preliminary Budget Estimate Exercise Troop List is Finalized Detailed Exercise Planning Commences RM Submits Budget Estimate Unit Receives OA Unit Submits Requisitions for Pre-positioned Materiel The Exercise Commences ONE WAY

JCS Exercise Budgeting Cycle Exercise Ends After the ONE WAY The Exercise Ends Submit Exercise Final Cost Report Submit JCS Exercise After Action Review Receive Reimbursement

Required Reports FORSCOM Form 253-R Preliminary Planning Estimate (30 Days After FAA Tasking Message is Sent) Preliminary Budget Estimate (180 Days Before C-Day) Field Budget Estimate (90 Days before C-Day) Final Cost Report (90 Days After E-Day) Show Slide 27: Required Reports
