DOD Participation Challenges in the National Exercise Program
Briefer: Col Fennell Issue : DOD Participation Challenges in the National Exercise Program (NEP) Discussion: New administration transition - Homeland Security Council (HSC)/National Security Council (NSC) structure has changed somewhat, but and the role of the HSC Exercise/Evaluation Sub-Integrated Policy Committee (IPC) has not changed. b. 5-Year scheduling challenges in the NEP: No fidelity in future years for Tier I, II, or III exercises; info on state(s) and dates; prohibits future planning for required funding, resources and forces. (National Level Exercise and planning dates through 2010 and some for 2011 have been established). Endstate: Improved joint training effectiveness and efficiency as directed by Chairman’s Joint Training Guidance. Supported / supporting roles consistent with Plans / Unified Command Plan. Staffs build relationships, conduct realistic rehearsal with actual counterparts. POA&M: Use Worldwide Joint Training and Scheduling Conference, deconfliction and combatant command annual exercise conferences to link multiple exercises, taking advantage of NEP to link exercises / integrate mission areas to ensure regional / mission area coverage. Formal process for DOD submissions to NEP has been briefed but not captured in a Chairman’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction. Still need more fidelity on future years exercises regarding dates/themes. Support DHS / FEMA / National Exercise Division efforts and use of the National Exercise Simulation Center (NESC) (located at FEMA HQ) to provide national level interagency exercise support and exercise control capabilities.

Use of the Joint Live Virtual Constructive Federation
Briefer: Col Walrond 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: FY10 funding provides Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) as the standard suite to support the 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 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 with low overhead competitive capability. A training capability that can support United States Korea Command (USKORCOM) training requirements. POA&M: 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 by developing “low overhead” Joint Conflict & Tactical Simulation (JCATS) capability.

Missile Warning / Defense
Systems Training Capability Briefer: Mr McVay Issue : Combatant Commanders require a distributed, integrated, synthetic Missile Warning (MW) and Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) training and exercise modeling and simulation (M&S) capability. Discussion: a. Current capability requires duplicative, static, scenario development and does not provide synergistic training capability. b. There is a requirement for a federated joint missile simulation capability which will stimulate all applicable operational missile awareness systems simultaneously to meet all stakeholders missile warning and integrated air and missile defense (IAMD) simulation requirements. Endstate: A federated Joint IAMD simulation capability which will stimulate all operational awareness systems to meet all missile warning and integrated air and missile defense simulation requirements. POA&M: Short Term: Develop a federated IAMD simulation capability that will stimulate operational missile awareness systems for the entire missile mission set to include missile warning, missile defense, and IAMD. Pursue an interim solution for a dynamic missile warning M&S capability and have integrated capability in place in the next 9 months for training tiers 1 - 2&3. Long Term: Integrate/federate M&S capabilities from tiers 1-5 into a complete end to end MW / IAMD M&S capability 0-5 years OPRs: USSTRATCOM/USNORTHCOM; OCRs: MDA, Combatant Commands and Services MAR 08 APR 08 AUG 08 SEP 08 FEB 09 TBD 09 TBD USSTRATCOM provide update at WJTSC 08-1 ITWG meets @CO Springs Tier 1 and 2 capability ITWG meets @ CO Springs Update at WJTSC 08-2 Embedded test demo 6 End to end capability 6

Experimentation, Demonstration, & Testing (EDT) in Joint Training
Briefer: Mr. DiGiovanni Issue : Lack of common DOD-wide process for incorporation of EDT into joint training. Discussion: EDT requirements call for access to joint environments. It is not always clear what training event or venue is best suited for a specific EDT event, either in content or schedule. Short-notice insertions into training events are disruptive to exercise planning. OSD is seeking to more effectively enable EDT scheduling activity within joint context and reduce possible impact to training audience and providers. For example, Joint Test and Evaluations require a joint environment for their demonstrations. Joint context and resource limitations require test and prototyping activity in training. USJFCOM has developed a clearing house function for venue identification, scheduling, and coordination (Joint Experimentation, Test and Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations) under the direction of the T2 I-Plan. This direction will be continued under DoDI 1322.xx Implementing DoD Training as it cancels the T2 I-Plan. Endstate: Common policy and supporting responsibilities for incorporating EDT activity in training are included in DoDI. POA&M: OSD(P&R) developing a DoDI to transition policy from the T2 I-Plan to broader DoD-wide application and continue USJFCOM's JETA role. Final coordination will occur through the formal processing of the DoDI. OPRs: OSD (P&R) and USJFCOM J7; OCRs: OSD (DOT&E, AT&L), JS J-7 JETCD, JS J-7 JETD, USJFCOM J9, Combatant Commands, CSAs, Services DOT&E forced to engage multiple combatant command’s to search for venues. T&E short-notice insertions disruptive to combatant command exercise planning. OSD Training & Testing Steering Group seeking to embed test activity in training to test with appropriate joint context. USJFCOM also requires training environment to assess capabilities such as DJC2, Blue Force Tracking and SJFHQ. The need for joint context and resource limitations require some test and prototyping activity in training. USJFCOM has developed a manual that outlines process the T&E community will use for integrating into USJFCOM sponsored and supported training. POA&M: Form PAT (combatant commands, Services, CSAs, OSD) to develop DOD-wide process based on USJFCOM JETA Manual, USPACOM instruction, and other combatant command, Service, CSA, and OSD guidance. Develop requirements for supporting tools including JTIMS and submit through established requirements process.

National Transition Training Plan
Briefer: Col Fennell Issue : The National Exercise Program (NEP) establishes a “Transition Training Program” which implements key elements in the Federal Interagency Heightened Alert Concept Plan associated with a Period of Heightened Alert (POHA) Discussion: The Transition Training Program is a quadrennial Presidential election year cycle of NEP events designed to introduce new and transitioning Principals of departments and agencies and other key officials to existing policies, plans, and capabilities, as well as identifying potential shortfalls, based on strategic estimates of threat and risk. It is a series of briefings, seminars and exercises for transitioning senior officials on USG policies, plans and capabilities for incident management and crisis coordination. Endstate: The culmination of the NEP Transition Training Program was NEP Tier I Exercise July 09 which served as an immersive experience for the senior officials. This was National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09). The central focus of the exercise was prevention, but combatant commands provided significant input to SECDEF, CJCS with respect to Homeland Defense and a transnational terrorist threat. The July Command Post Exercise was preceded by a Principal Level Exercise (PLE) in mid-Jun 09. N-NC also provided training support to other departments via Defense Support to Civil Authorities courses and table-top exercises during March-August 2009. POA&M: As outlined below.

Combatant Command Exercises
Deconfliction of Combatant Command Exercises Briefer: Lt Col Livergood Issue : Scheduling resources to support combatant command events is challenging given daily operations tempo, personnel, fiscal, and time constraints and multiple events executing during the same period. Need overall deconfliction resolution process for Combatant Command Exercises. Discussion: Limited Service resources (forces, equipment, exercise support) preclude the ability to support competing combatant command exercises. Without a force management process, Services will be forced to prioritize / reduce support for competing combatant command exercises. Current exercise schedules have major combatant command exercises back-to-back or overlapping, limiting the Services’ ability to support. In the future, exercises must be more evenly distributed across the fiscal year, or Service support must be scaled back or possibly cancelled. Endstate: Robust resolution process involving all stakeholders to effectively deconflict resources supporting combatant command exercises. Deliverable product from the conference is a deconflicted and validated exercise schedule. Unresolved issues are highlighted for Stakeholder Leadership Team consideration and combatant command leadership awareness. POA&M: JS J-7 lead a USJFCOM hosted conference to focus on future year planning 2-5 years out, deconflicting three areas: USJFCOM Distributed Training Team support to combatant commands, USTRANSCOM support to combatant commands, and validating supportability of exercise schedules by forces, lift assets, and budgets. Combatant commands, Services, and components identify shortfalls and present courses of action to minimize risk to the exercise community.

JWFC Use of JTIMS and JLLIS During Exercises
Briefer: Lt Col Livergood Issue : Direct Joint War Fighting Center (JWFC) / Deployable Training Teams (DTT) to use Joint Training Information Management System (JTIMS) Execution Tab and Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS), when requested by combatant commands, during JWFC supported exercises, to capture observations for future combatant command corrective actions. Discussion: CJCS and DOD mandate JTIMS and JLLIS as the observation and evaluation and lessons learned tools for combatant commands during joint exercises. Combatant commands receive JWFC / DTT and support for two designated exercises per year. During previous USNORTHCOM exercises, JWFC / DTTs do not record observations in JTIMS for training proficiency and JLLIS for command level issues and processes JWFC / DTT non-use of JTIMS and JLLIS is not cost and time effective; JWFC / DTT personnel render observations and recommended corrective actions, but non-recording of these observations in JTIMS and JLLIS negate the purpose of JTIMS and JLLIS being a data source and means for future corrective actions. Providing JWFC / DTT personnel JTIMS and JLLIS accounts and training requires minimal time and effort and would be accomplished by combatant command personnel prior to exercise start day. d. Directed use provides common systems of record. End state: Beginning FY10, JWFC / DTT personnel, if requested by combatant commands, use JTIMS and JLLIS to record observations during JWFC supported exercises. POA&M: JWFC / DTT coordinate with combatant command exercise planners during Joint Event Life Cycle requirements to use JTIMS and JLLIS.

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: No formal procedure exists for scheduling and coordinating ABCA Joint Combined and Multilateral training and use of the full range of Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) training capabilities. An ABCA working group (WG), 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. 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 virtual & constructive assets - Develop and adopt ABCA country agreements/business rules formalizing this process OPR: USJFCOM; OCRs: Combatant Commands, JS J-7, 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.

Continued Implementation of JTSS Program for the Combat Support Agencies
Briefer: Mr Cook Issue : Continued implementation of JTSS Program for the Combat Support Agencies Discussion: The Joint Training System Specialist (JTSS) program is vital to Combat Support Agency (CSA) implementation and sustainment of the Joint Training System (JTS) in support of the combatant commands. Agencies with a JTSS have achieved greater success in accomplishing JTS requirements; i.e. Agency Mission Essential Task List, Agency Training Plan, and exercise integration. While the CSAs continue to make notable investments to comply with JTS program requirements, these resources are limited. On-site JTSS fielding is a force multiplier and a vital element in sustaining CSA participation in the JTS program. Currently, there are two CSAs (National Security Agency and Defense Information Systems Agency) who do not have a JTSS. Endstate: Complete the implementation of JTSS to NSA and DISA. Ensure continued JTSS fielding to each CSA. POA&M: Pending results of Combatant Commander Exercise Engagement Stakeholder Leadership Team programmatic decisions. OPR: Joint Staff J-7; OCRs: CSAs NOV 08 MAR 09 JUL – AUG 09 AUG 09 TBD Blue Ribbon Panel results released Discuss requirement during CE2 SLT meeting at WJTSC 09-1 Develop UFR NSA and DISA positions funded for FY10 CE2 SLT decision on out year funding Positions fully funded for outyears 14

Joint Training Enterprise Training Modeling & Simulation Gaps
Briefer: Col Walrond Issue : Joint Training Enterprise identified key training Modeling & Simulation (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.

Joint Command and Control (JC2)
Training Management Briefer: Mr. Chiaverotti Issue : No joint organization assigned responsibility for managing JC2 training. Discussion: Transition from Global Command and Control (GCCS) Family of Systems to Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC) offers opportunity for effective and efficient training delivery to individual warfighters worldwide based on a joint standards-based foundation. NECC provides a single, joint architecture to establish a common environment for warfighters at all levels of JC2 in which both systems and functional training curricula can be re-used and tailored to warfighter needs. NECC material developers will provide appropriate individual functional training packages for each NECC capability module produced. Current GCCS-Joint Single Service Training Manager model doesn’t provide authority and resources to ensure NECC-related training packages are effective, standardized, entered into extant joint curricula, and distributed to Services and Agencies for re-use. Endstate: A joint command and control training management organization with the necessary authority and resources codified by a CJCSI, in-place and functioning. POA&M: Standup a stakeholders’ forum to research and assess need, responsibility, authorities, and resourcing. Provide a POA&M. Revise CJCSI B.

Joint Staff Officer Proficiency
Briefer: MAJ Coryell Issue : The ramp up time to achieve desired proficiency for officers reporting for joint assignment at combatant commands is too long. Discussion: The results of the Joint Staff Officer Study included the desired 15 core competencies for Joint Staff Officers identified by combatant command senior leadership. Lack of competency in identified areas were found to result in extended ramp up time for officers to achieve desired proficiency levels in joint staff officer tasks. Combatant commands expressed interest in the Joint Staff J-7 leading the development of Joint Staff Officer training support resources to close the identified proficiency gap. Endstate: Policy and supporting program of instruction that leads to the reduction in time for officers to become proficient in joint staff officer duties. POA&M: Joint Staff J-7 in coordination with combatant commands develops joint staff officer training support resources. Combatant commands staff and assess draft training support resources and provide input to JS J-7. JS J-7 modifies draft resources as required and combatant commands implement Joint Staff Officer training in command training programs. JS J-7 in coordination with combatant commands coordinates additional training resources, as required.

Joint Training Assessment and Readiness
Monthly Training Assessment Update Requirement Joint Training Trends and Assessment Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS) Joint Issue Resolution System JTIMS and JLLIS Integration 19

Monthly Training Assessment
Update Requirement Briefer: LCDR Jaureguizar Issue : Inconsistent assessments in the Joint Training Information Management System (JTIMS) Discussion: JTIMS is an integral part of a larger system, including the Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS), that identifies readiness deficiencies and helps develop solutions. Policy states it is critical to have a linkage between Joint readiness and training; DRRS requires assessments every 30 days. Therefore it is necessary for JTIMS training assessments to match DRRS 30-day readiness assessment requirements. Update: JTIMS monthly Task Proficiency Assessments (TPA) and Mission Training Assessments (MTA) are sent to DRRS real-time. DRRS and JTIMS are integrated so that DRRS currently displays TPAs and will, in the future, display MTAs. CJCSI E, Joint Training Policy and Guidance, requires monthly TPAs. Endstate: JTIMS assessments are synchronized with DRRS requirements. Endstate has been achieved, however, recommend the issue remain open until WJTSC 09-2. POA&M: JTIMS v3.1 (April 09) will include the capability to assess each task individually. Recommend retaining this issue until WJTSC Monitor compliance with monthly assessment requirement in JTIMS through Sep 09 and provide update during the WJTSC OPR: Joint Staff J-7 JETD; OCR: OSD (Readiness and Training) / RTPP NOV 07 MAY 08 SEP 08 OCT 08 - FEB 09 APR 09 MAY – AUG 09 AUG 09 Proposed policy update to JTIMS UAG for review JTP&G Updated Briefed future JTIMS v3.1 capabilities Monitored compliance with policy Briefed JTIMS V3.1 capabilities Monitor compliance with monthly assessment in JTIMS Combatant Command Update 20

Joint Training Trends and Assessment
Briefer: LCDR Jaureguizar Issue : Consensus has not been achieved in the joint training community regarding how joint training trends and joint training assessment taskers will be achieved. Discussion: JS J7 will develop an annual assessment of Joint Training trends to brief at the Worldwide Joint Training & Scheduling Conference (WJTSC). Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) E was updated to require monthly Task Proficiency Assessment (TPA) reporting, which will help to support the development of training trend information. Endstate: Joint training trends (positive and negative) are identified, analyzed, and briefed (at fall WJTSC) annually. Analysis of training trends result in the identification of joint training/resource requirements for consideration/validation and advocacy in joint requirement/resource forums; reports to senior leadership; risk mediation forums; policy and doctrinal development; and for potential inclusion in the Chairman's Annual Joint Training Guidance and identification as a Chairman's High Interest Training Issue. POA&M: The Joint Training Information Management System (JTIMS) v3.1 (Apr 09) provides filters to enable collection of training assessment information during a desired assessment timeframe as well as the ability to perform individual task training proficiency assessments, enabling greater fidelity in the development of joint training trend data. Next trend analysis will use JTIMS capability and be briefed at WJTSC 09-2. OPR: JS J-7 JETD Background: The development of training trends was a USJFCOM J7 tasker IAW Joint Training Policy and Guidance (CJCSI C) which assigned responsibility to USFCOM to collect Training Trends from all sources. JS J7 directed JFCOM J7 to conduct a feasibility study on JTIMS and DRRS to determine their possible utility in trend analysis. Feasibility studies were completed and results forwarded to JS J7 (Capt Miller). Study revealed that JTIMS and DRRS (as they currently exist) did not support this task. Discussion: Capt Melcher met with Capt Miller in Aug 06 to discuss the results of the feasibility studies. Capt Miller acknowledged the results and indicated that this was an issue for the JS J7 and not JFCOM J7. Resource implications: None Internal POCs: CDR Bob Clark, Capt Chuck Melcher Recommended positions: Undetermined, awaiting guidance/direction from the JS J7 on future trend analysis and JFCOM J7 requirements to support.

Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS)
Briefer: Mr Ball Issue : The Joint community lacks a single automated support system to discover, apply, share and research joint lessons. Discussion: The Department of Defense (DOD) Lessons Learned Community lacks a repository capability as well as the input support tools vital to effective knowledge management. Funded for : Fiscal Year 2010 funded for development. JLLIS hardware/servers will be moved to a Joint Staff approved new location by Sep 2010. The Joint Lessons Learned Working Group uses the Configuration Review Board (CRB) process to identify and prioritize requirements for incorporation into the JLLIS. The following have JLLIS: Combatant Commands, Services, National Guard, but not the Coast Guard; some Combat Support Agencies (CSA); the Department of State, United States Agency for International Development and the United States Department of Agriculture; others in education community are TBD. Endstate: Enterprise, web based, Global Information Grid (GIG) compliant JLLIS with input and management tool, with a federated/distributed database for all JLLIS stakeholders. POA&M: JLLIS capability using an open architecture is being fielded to Combatant Commands, Services, CSAs, Interagency, and other organizations; JLLIS is GIG-compliant, net-centric, web-services enabled and will be linked to other DOD systems like the Joint Doctrine, Education and Training Electronic Information System; Joint Training Information Management System, and the Defense Readiness Reporting System.

Joint Issue Resolution System
Briefer: Mr Ball Issue : Combatant Commands and Services need an automated collaboration tool for joint issue resolution. Discussion: a. Current process does not provide effective collaboration between combatant commands, combat support agencies (CSA), and Services, with well defined decision points. b. Issues requiring joint resolution do not have sufficient transparency to allow stakeholders to maintain visibility of resolution progress and allow continuous updating of issue through final resolution. c. The Joint Lessons Learned Program (JLLP) defines issues as validated observations that require corrective action. This validated observation does not become a lesson learned until the corrective action is employed and verified to solve the noted deficiency. However, the JLLP does not provide a system for how joint issues should be resolved in a collaborative environment. A joint issue resolution system needs to include existing requirements process, such as Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System. DoDI , DoD Participation in National Exercise Program (NEP), includes the interaction of the DoD and NEP After Action Review. The DoD process to support this instruction, to include collaboration and information sharing requirements between DoD and the interagency, and use of existing joint tools to enable this process, needs to be codified. Endstate: An automated joint issue resolution system integrated into the JLLP providing the ability for all combatant commands, CSAs, and Services to recommend issues for joint resolution, collaborate on existing issues, and maintain visibility on the progress of all existing issues, with decision points and authorities identified to approve and execute the corrective action plan. This issue resolution system should be compatible with interagency resolution systems, such as the Department of Homeland Security Corrective Action Program.

JTIMS and JLLIS Integration
Briefer: LCDR Jaureguizar Issue : No capability exists to automatically transfer data between Joint Training Information Management System (JTIMS) and Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS). Discussion: JTIMS and JLLIS are separate and complementary collection tools for observations. Task Performance Observations (TPOs) submitted to JTIMS may have joint lessons learned applicability, requiring submission to the Joint Lessons Learned Program (JLLP) via JLLIS. TPOs may identify an issue requiring joint issue resolution; per definitions of JLLP, final resolution of an issue would provide a lesson learned, which should be included in the joint lessons learned data base, provided by JLLIS. JLLIS observations may provide additional information to better enable the development of a Training Proficiency Evaluation (TPE) or Training Proficiency Assessment (TPA). DoDI states that each combatant command, CSA, and Military Department (Service) shall determine which performance observations [in JTIMS] should be elevated in status to a lesson learned, and that these lessons learned should be included in the JLLP through JLLIS. The lack of this automated linkage hinders the transfer of data between JTIMS and JLLIS Endstate: The capability to exploit the knowledge gained during an exercise to both enhance the training audience leaders’ assessment process and benefit the lessons learned community in the planning and execution of future exercises and events.

Interagency Integration of Interagency Partners 25

Integration of Interagency Partners
Briefer: Mr Quay Issue : Inadequate unified action partner representation/environmental emulation in Combatant Command and Service training, education, exercises, and experimentation (TEEE) degrades the quality of these events. Discussion: Department of Defense (DOD) recognizes the value of interagency participation, role players, senior mentors, and/or simulation cells to provide authoritative and realistic interagency input and support to DOD TEEE events. Other agencies lack the capacity and often cannot afford the level of seniority/experience and commitment that DOD desires for event design, execution, and assessment. Endstate: DOD events are conducted in a whole of government context and a realistic environment that accurately reflects the complexity of integrated planning and operations. POA&M: To enhance TEEE: 1. Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Readiness) (ODUSD(R)) develop a strategy and process for resourcing, requesting, and scheduling interagency integration into combatant command and Service TEEE at the front end of the planning cycle, including participation as training audience and Joint Exercise Control Group. 2. Analyze interagency participation gaps and mitigation options. 3. ODUSD(R) implement mechanisms to source vetted and validated agency personnel or contractors to support DOD TEEE interagency participation requirements. OPRs: ODUSD(R), Joint Staff J-7 Joint Exercise and Training Division OCRs: Combatant Commands, Services, Combat Support Agencies, and National Guard Bureau NOV 07 MAR 08 AUG 08 SEP 08 FY 09 MAR 09 SEP 09 SEP 10 DUSD(R) designated J-7 as Interagency R&S Coordinator Implementation and interagency partner integration process briefed at WJTSC 08-1 DOD Business rules approved by VCJCS Implementation & interagency integration process codified at WJTSC 08-2 Implement the process for FYs 10/11 Implementation update at WJTSC 09-1 Year end assessment Year end assessment 26

New Issue NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Headquarters Training 27

NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Headquarters Training
Submitted by: USCENTCOM Proposed Issue : Combatant Commands need a clear delineation of authorities and responsibilities when partnering with NATO allies on training, manning, and funding of ISAF headquarters. Discussion: a. NATO ISAF has the command of the Afghanistan Theater of Operation. b. There are differences in training processes, individual augmentee rotation policies, and financial responsibilities between US-only and NATO operations. Joint Staff DJ3 released a General Administrative Message DTG Z Jun 09 providing initial guidance for Regional Command (South) Rotation 6. The United Kingdom is the lead nation with US contributing 25% of the personnel. RC(S) ROTO 6 will train to employ under the NATO construct. DOD stakeholders awaiting authority to obligate funds for the NATO HQ training event. c. Regional Command (South) Rotation 7 will be a US-led rotation and will train to employ under the USJFCOM JTF HQ training model. This training will include personnel from the United Kingdom, Canada, and the Netherlands. The transition from NATO HQ ISAF to an Intermediate Level HQ under HQ ISAF will present additional training, personnel, and funding challenges. NATO Joint Forces Command-Brunssum deputy commander has asked USCENTCOM to help shape the NATO ISAF Intermediate Level HQ training. Combatant commands have not received directives or authorities to enter multilateral agreements and commit national-level funding in support of current and future NATO training events. End State: JCS designate lead/supporting Combatant Commands to shape future ISAF HQ training and manning policies; JCS establishes clear financial authority when operating in a partnership with NATO.
