JTLS IN WAR GAMES & SIMULATION CENTER POLAND GOOD MORNING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT IS MY PLEASURE TO REPRESENT POLISH WAR GAMES AND SIMULATION CENTER. MY NAME IS JAN BARAN, MY RANK LTCOL, FOR THE NEXT QUARTER, I WILL BRIEF YOU OUR EXPERIENCES WITH JTLS IN 2018 IN POLAND. LTCol Jan BARAN Senior Specialist, Air Force, WG&SC

AGENDA Introduction JTLS exercises Our future and plans THE AGENDA OF MY BRIEFING IS AS FOLLOWS: AS AN INTRODUCTION I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT MISSION AND STRUCTURE WAR GAMES AND SIMULATION CENTER. NEXT PART OF MY PRESENTATION WILL BE FOCUSED ON THE SUPPORTED EXERCISES . AND FINALLY I WILL PRESENT BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT OUR FUTURE PLANS BASED ON COOPERATION WITH ROLANDS AND ASSOTIATIONS AND EXACTLY JTLS. I SUPPOSE THAT THIS PRESENTATION WILL GIVE YOU GENERAL OVERVIEW ON OUR ACTIVITIES.

War Games & Simulation Center (WG&SC) WARSAW, POLAND WG&SC LOCATION IN WARSAW. WSU MAIN BUILDING, PROTECTED AREA.

WG&SC FACILITIES IV III II I War gaming floors: OFFICE AREA LOCON II OPFOR III PLAYERS DISTAFF/EXCON IV I War gaming floors: 37 players’ rooms - 2300m2 one shift – up to 450 players WGSC OCCUPIES 2300 SQUARE METERS IN ONE BUILDING ON 5 FLOORS AND BASEMENT. GROUND AND 1ST FLOOR ARE DEDEDICATED FOR STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION OFFICES. 3 UPPER FLOORS INCLUDE WAR GAMING AND EXERCISE CONTROL AREAS. ON EACH FLOOR THERE ARE WAR GAMING HALLS, BRIEFING AND WORKING ROOMS. DURING EXERCISES WE CAN SUPPORT UP TO 450 PLAYERS IN 37 ROOMS. Servers

WG&SC Supports War Studies University with conducting training activities. Provides support for the General Staff Joint Training Program which prepares Polish Armed Forces to conduct joint and multinational operations. Contributes to Modelling and Simulation activities of the Polish Armed Forces. OUR MISSION: WG&SC IS LOCATED AT WAR STUDIES UNIVERSITY, AND IT IS SUBORDINATED DIRECTLY TO THE VICE-RECTOR FOR MILITARY AFFAIRS. OUR MAIN TASK IS TO COOPERATE WITH ALL UNIVERSITY FACULTIES AND CENTERS, BUT THE MOST CHALLENGING IS OUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE POLISH ARMED FORCES UNITS EXERCISES. ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR OF OUR DUTIES IS OUR COOPERATION WITH NATO MEMBERS AND NON-MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS.

Pre-exercise training events Planning and technical support expertise ACTIVITIES: Exercises Pre-exercise training events Planning and technical support expertise Operational analysis Modeling and simulation development CAX Courses SO, OUR TASKS? FIRST OF ALL, WE PROVIDE SUPPORTING TOOLS TO EXECUTE DIFFERENT KINDS OF EXERCISES. WE SUPPORT ALL SCALE – FROM BRIGADE UP TO THE STRATEGY LEVEL AND ALSO LOCAL DISTRIBUTED. PREPARATION OF EXERCISES IS A PART OF OUR WORK SO WE ARE OBLIGED TO PARTICIPATE IN, OR PREPARE MANY TRAINING EVENTS – IN EVERY PHASE OF PLANNING PROCESS (CONFERENCES, MEETINGS AND WORKSHOPS). GUYS FROM OUR CENTER ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR PLANNING AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT EXPERTISE (FOR EXAMPLE THEY HAVE TO CONNECT AND CHECK OUR SIMULATION SYSTEM WITH OTHER TOOLS OR SYSTEMS USED IN CRISES MANAGEMENT EXERCISES) WE PROVIDE ANALYSIS AND IMPROVEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE USAGE OF SIMULATION SYSTEM DURING EXERCISES. MODELING AND SIMULATION DEVELOPMENT IS ANOTHER PART OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES. AND FINALLY WE CONDUCT COURSES FOR OPERATORS AND ADMINISTRATORS OF CAX TOOLS.

ARMED FORCES EXERCISES WG&SC STRUCTURE CHIEF Deputy CHIEF OPERATIONAL TEAM ARMED FORCES EXERCISES SUPPORT TEAM THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE CENTER ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE, WHICH CONSISTS OF FIVE TEAMS: ARMED FORCES EXERCISES SUPPORT TEAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPARING AND CONDUCTING EXERCISES WITH MILITARY HQ ARMED FORCES. OPERATIONAL TEAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPARING AND CONDUCTING ACADEMIC EXERCISES. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS TEAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DELIVERING ANALYTIC DATA FROM SIMULATION SYSTEM. SIMULATION TEAM, GENERALLY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SERVICES. WE ALSO HAVE THE ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION FOR ALL DUTIES CONNECTED WITH LOGISTIC SUPPORT AND INFORMATION SECURITY. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS TEAM SIMULATION TEAM ADMINSTRATIVE SECTION

EXERCISES CONTRACTORS War Games & Simulation Center STUDIES UNIVERSITY HQ POLISH ARMED FORCES NON-MILITARY ORGANIZATION WG & SC PROVIDES TWO TYPES OF EXERCISES: COMMAND POST EXERCISES INCLUDING COMPUTER ASSISTED EXERCISES CRISES MANAGEMENT EXERCISES . GENERALLY, WE SUPPORT UNIVERSITY TRAINING PROCESS, MILITARY HEADQUARTERS ARMED FORCES AND OTHER NON-MILITARY CONTRACTORS IN EG. THE GENERAL DIRECTOR FOR NATIONAL ROADS AND MOTORWAYS.

WG&SC Functional Area Services SIMULATION SYSTEM: JTLS-GO – Joint Theatre Level Simulation – Global Operations NATO FAS:  JEMM – Joint Exercise Management Module NIRIS – Networked Interoperable Real-Time Information Services ICC – NATO-wide Integrated Command and Control iGeoSIT – Interim Geo-Spatial Intelligence Tool JOCWatch – Joint Operations Centre Watch JChat – Joint Tactical Chat National FAS: C3I System Jasmin LOGRep – National Logistic Report from JTLS PGO – Operational Graphic Packet DURING EXERCISES WE ARE USING DIFFERENT FUNCTIONAL AREA SERVICES. THE MAIN TOOL IS SIMULATION SYSTEM JTLS. THAT IS THE CORE OF OUR COMPUTER ASSISTED EXERCISES. OTHER TOOLS SUPPORT EXCON AND TRAINING AUDIENCE AND THEY ALLOW US TO CREATE THE OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF EXERCISES.

FUTURE PLANS Implementation of new JTLS version 5.1 to exercises in 2019/20; Conduct tests with transferring JTLS data – Coalition Warrior Interoperability eXercise CWIX-2019, Joint Force Training Centre, Bydgoszcz; JTLS integration with Polish AF C2 systems; Conduct CAX courses; Cooperate with modeling & simulation communities and organizations. AND NOW A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR FUTURE PLANS. WE ARE CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTING AND MAKING TESTS WITH THE NEW VERSION 5.1 OF JTLS. INITIALLY WE WILL START WITH ACADEMIC EXERCICES, THE FIRST PRACTICE USING IS PLANNED AT FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR 2019. SIMULTANOUSLY WE WILL CONDUCT TESTING TRANSFER JTLS VER. 5.1 DATA BETWEEN JTLS AND POLISH C2 SYSTEMS during CWIX-2019. OBVIOUSLY, WE WILL CONTINUE TRAINING JTLS OPERATORS AND JEMM ADMINISTRATORS IN POLISH ARMORED FORCES AND FINALLY, WE PLAN TO CONTINUE COOPERATION WITH OTHER SIMCENTERS AND ORGANIZATIONS BASED ON EXCHANGING EXPERIENCES AND INFORMATION.
