4. USJFCOM Exercise Support
Purpose: Optimize USJFCOM support for all COCOMS for FY 09 and FY10 USJFCOM supported events.
Discussion:
Forum was used to address several topics to include the latest version of the JLVC federation, JFCOM J3 deconfliction efforts and an open discussions for JWFC observations regarding trends across multiple COCOM’s.
The primary focus was to look at the FY10-11 calendar and address any conflicts with supportability and attempt to get agreement on a way ahead. The discussion also incluede12-14 as needed. May 2010/11/12/13 and Aug 2011 are still unsupportability given the current resources projections.
The group was well attend and all COCOM’s where represented.
Training Trends: There where 6 training trends assigned to this working group. All where discussed. The group decided to accept them as trends to study further and readdress at the next WJTSC. No action to develop issues at this time.
Issues: No new issues. 4

7. Joint Training Enterprise RDT&E Way Forward
Briefer: Mr. Ken Goad
Issue : The Joint Training Enterprise must cut $11.8M from specific FY08 programs to meet approved POM 10 funding levels.
Discussion: The directed 31% cut in JNTC/JSS RDTE ($11.8M) from FY08 to FY10 will have a major impact on the Joint Training Enterprise: Increased costs to Services and combatant commands to execute training; Reduction in critical capability to support Joint Training Enterprise research and development; and, Reduction in training capability.
Endstate: Training risk to the Force minimized, no mission essential tasks eliminated, schedule flexibility optimized, and cost/benefit to the Joint Training Enterprise evaluated.
POA&M: USJFCOM identify targeted cuts. Combatant Commands evaluate impact and develop contingency plans, as required.
Status: Following discussion at WJTSC 08-2, USJFCOM will reconsider proposed targeted cuts to minimize impacts to the Joint Training Enterprise and vet new proposal with stakeholders.

9. Use of the Joint Live Virtual Constructive Federation
Briefer: Mr. Ken Goad
Issue : The Joint Live Virtual Constructive (JLVC) Federation provides the most realistic environment to align joint training with combatant commander assigned missions, requirements and constraints. The JLVC federation is comprised of both Joint and Service simulations and tools.
Discussion: Current funding provides Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) as the standard suite to support the Combatant Command Joint Exercise Program (JEP), however, JTLS lacks the capability to model high fidelity strategic to tactical operations. This training shortfall was noted in the Joint Staff’s Training Capabilities Analysis of Alternatives (TC AoA) Gaps JLVC addresses these gaps. Using the JLVC federation is an option contingent upon additional Combatant Commander funding for event integration (CE2) as well as additional USJFCOM Training Transformation (T2) funding for JLVC development. Recent cuts to T2 RDT&E need to be addressed to provide sustained integration and development funding streams.
Endstate: Tailored / packaged use of JLVC in combatant command exercises to meet specific training objectives. Single standardized JLVC federation.
POA&M: Combatant Commands provide details on which exercise(s) are most enhanced with the use of JLVC. CE2 SLT allocates funding for JWFC support (including JLVC) in accordance with CE2 business rules/processes. CE2 addresses only JLVC integration/support for combatant command events but not development of JLVC technical enhancements in demand by combatant command stakeholders. USJFCOM efforts to reduce JLVC costs. Investigate JLVC cross-domain solutions.

10. Joint Training Enterprise Training M&S Gaps
Briefer: COL Armstrong
Issue : Joint Training Enterprise identified key training M&S gaps which are currently unfunded.
Discussion: As tasked during the WJTSC 08-2, the Joint Training Enterprise executed a Training Gap Analysis Forum (TGAF) in November 2008 in order to identify the top training M&S gaps.  The forum identified over 29 gaps and validated them with the 2004 TCAoA baseline. The forum was conducted using the established JTRG requirement procedures. The gaps identified from the TGAF are currently unfunded.
Endstate: Approval of validated TGAF process and results; funding or mitigation plans to support the development of solutions that close the training M&S gaps identified by the Joint Training Enterprise.
POA&M: Joint Training Enterprise identified the M&S Gaps; USJFCOM to lead the effort of gap analysis to determine detailed estimated costs to close the gaps.
Status: Conduct detailed analysis to determine optimal solutions.

12. Integration of ABCA Partners Into the Joint Training Enterprise
Briefer: Col Walrond
ABCA: American, British, Canadian, Australian
Issue : The enhancement of ABCA Joint, Combined, Multilateral training in order to increase operational capability, preparedness, and improve interoperability.
Discussion:  WJTSC WG determined the scope of the original issue was too narrowly focused on technical issues. No formal procedure exists for scheduling and coordinating ABCA Joint Combined and Multilateral training and use of the full range of LVC training capabilities. An ABCA working group, including Combatant Commands and JS J7, needs to be established to draft agreement(s), develop business rules, and identify/develop the appropriate forum for coordination. Recommend the WG adopt the PACOM-AUS Joint Combined Training Capability (JCTC) work as a starting point. Technical solutions are moving along well. Formal business rules will require a long term effort, but short term efforts will continue to leverage existing multilateral venues.
Endstate: Defense level policy guidance, and agreements. A formal coordination process, business rules and/or other documents as necessary for ABCA partners and combatant commands/Services that outlines the process for scheduling and coordinating bi-lateral and multilateral training and exercises enhanced via LVC enablers using ABCA networks. Short term endstate will address OIF/OEF pre-deployment training. Long term solution expected to take several years.
POA&M:
Formalize overarching vision statement and reach agreement in principle
Establish ABCA WG membership and chair
Define ABCA training requirements
Establishment of a scheduling process for the JTEN and V&C assets
Develop and adopt ABCA country agreements/business rules formalizing this process
OPR: USJFCOM OCRs: Combatant Commands, JS J7, PJHQ J7, HQJOC J7, and CFD/CFEC.
I&SJT WG Comments: Need further analysis of combatant command requirements, JKDDC capabilities and costs from a broader system of systems view (relationships between mutually supporting systems such as command LMSs, JTIMS, DRRS, JKDDC, personnel systems). JKDDC is not covering Combatant Command unique learning requirements. JKDDC will be a complementary capability to any Combatant Command deployed LMS.

19. Small Group Scenario Trainer (SGST) Formerly: Immersive Learning Environments (ILES)
Briefer: Mr. Camacho
Issue : Requirement for Large Scale Use of Online and On Demand Individual and Group Training, Mission Planning and Rehearsal Capabilities.
Discussion: SGST meets this shortfall by providing a training, and mission rehearsal capability that supports both DOD and Interagency partners in meeting our national security requirements. SGST is a flexible, on-line, and distributed training and mission rehearsal capability that covers the training life cycle from beginning to end. USJFCOM and USNORTHCOM conducted tests showing SGST can significantly shorten the JELC while improving knowledge / capability. USNORTHCOM and USJFCOM are collaborating on the development of SGST Version 1. This SGST system evolution facilitates Joint and Interagency training, mission planning, rehearsal, and COA analysis.
Endstate: SGST established as a Joint Program of Record (POR) to achieve unity of effort in individual/small group training across combatant commands, Services, Combat Support Agencies and Interagency partners. JKDDC leverages training transformation funds to provide a centrally managed / decentralized and interdependent executed SGST capability, in which SGST may be configured by the combatant commands to meet their training needs. This approach enables content sharing across organizational boundaries and rapidly supports and optimizes evolving changes to organizational structures, people, processes and technologies. JKDDC JMO takes responsibility for the JKO web enabled SGST capability, providing integration with the JKO Portal to provide a generalized small group training capability.
POA&M: OSD contract ends Jun 08. JKDDC JMO accepted responsibility for the JKO web enabled SGST capability in Feb 08. Leveraging TC AoA Alt #5 funding, webify SGST focusing on USNORTHCOM’s training requirements.
