UNCLASSIFIED JTEN Reduction Plan Mr. Steve Kostoff DD JS J7 JCW Environment Development 15 February 2012

UNCLASSIFIED Abstract In response to budgetary pressure, ED asked to consider ways to reduce costs accrued by JNTC technical infrastructure –JTEN one of the largest JNTC cost drivers As a result of previous budget cuts, most cost reductions taken with regard to JTEN have already been taken Therefore the best place to consider cost reductions now is in the size of the network itself 2

UNCLASSIFIED Method Based on work begun 2 years ago in the JTEN Recapitalization project, there are a number of sites on the JTEN that have low utilization rates These sites could be removed to save equipment maintenance costs and their needs for JTEN satisfied by the deployment of a JTEN pod Recommended cut list based on JTEN Recapitalization metrics Projected savings by proposed reduction approx. $750,000 OM/ year 3
