17. UNCLASSIFIED Joint Logistics Education and Training Problem Statement: There is no governance and management structure existing to support the DOD Joint logistics education and training requirements. Operational Capability: A Joint Logistics Education and Training Governance Authority that will lead the effort to refine and implement the proposed Joint Logistics Education, Training, and Exercise Study (JLETES) Roadmap This governing authority will provide direct support to the Warfighter by: Overseeing the implementation of a Joint Logistics Advanced Knowledge Management System to support the Joint logistician Ensuring Joint logistics courses are certified Providing overall coordination of Joint logistics education and training initiatives Accomplishments: Completed an independent study on the effectiveness and efficiency of Joint Logistics education and training in DOD Facilitated Joint Logistics Working Goups at WJTSC 09-1 & 2 Reviewed logistics education and training related studies, shared information, and identified opportunities to close the gaps and seams in Joint/DOD logistics education and training Provide a comprehensive briefing on the JLETES as well a detailed analysis of the results from the revised JLETES survey Proposed Technical Approach: Socialize the study findings and recommendations and develop way-ahead (JS J4, JS J7,, and Center for Joint Logistics and Strategic Excellence) POA&M: Formally designate a flag/general officer-level Joint Logistics Education and Training Governance Board consisting of reps from the Office Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness (OSD (P&R)), Joint Staff, USJFCOM, USTRANSCOM, DLA, DUSD (L&MR), Center for Joint and Strategic Logistics Excellence, and geographic combatant commands. After stand-up of governing authority, transition this issue to Joint Individual and Staff Training Working Group at WJTSC. Deliverables: March 2010: Issue update at WJTSC 10-1 September 2010:Brief COA to achieve endstate & transition to Joint and Individual Staff Training WG Increased Costs Duplication of Effort Wasted time Myriad of DOD Joint logistics initiatives and recommendations have not been disseminated or shared No tracking of logistics studies: findings, and recommendations No coordination of education initiatives Unnecessary Casualties Failure to consistently provide the Combatant Commander with well educated and trained joint logistics professionals.
