DOD Participation Challenges in the National
Exercise Program

• Issue 08-003 DOD Participation Challenges in the
  National Exercise Program (NEP)
• Discussion
• a. Combatant command NEP participation
  challenges Combatant command objectives often
  cant be met or are compromised (in Tier I, CJCS
  will provide his objectives and the recommended
  level of combatant command play) lack of
  synchronization across federal spectrum no
  formal DoD process for combatant commands to
  nominate command exercises for the 5-year NEP
  exercise schedule (To be published in the revised
  CEP CJCSI). JS will provide combatant commands
  results of sub-PCC meetings (DONE).
• 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 (Jan 31, 2008 NEX scheduling
  conference provided Tier I, II calendar for the
  next two years, but lack specific dates) (Request
  made to DHS for schedule fidelity. Request was
  favorably received)
• Endstate Improved joint training effectiveness
  and efficiency as directed by Chairmans Joint
  Training Guidance. Supported / supporting roles
  IAW Plans / UCP. Staffs build relationships,
  conduct realistic rehearsal with actual
  counterparts.
• POAM
• - Use WJTSC, 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 DOD
  exercise calendar input will be outlined in the
  revised CSEP CJCSI)
• - Formal process for DoD submissions to NEP was
  briefed agreed upon by the working group.
  However, still need more fidelity on future years
  exercises regarding dates and themes.

Use of Joint Live Virtual Constructive (JLVC)
Federation

• Issue 07-014 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 Staffs Training Capabilities
  Analysis of Alternatives (TC AoA) Gaps 1-22.
  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 RDTE 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.
• POAM 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.

Experimentation Testing (ET) in Joint Training
Issue 04-003 Lack of common DoD-wide process for
incorporation of ET into joint training.
Discussion DOTE engages multiple combatant
commands to search for venues. Short-notice
insertions disruptive to exercise planning. OSD
seeking to more effectively enable test activity
with joint context and reduce possible impact to
training audience. USJFCOM requires training
environment to assess capabilities such as DJC2,
SJFHQ. Joint context and resource limitations
require test and prototyping activity in
training. USJFCOM developed a manual for
integrating ET into USJFCOM sponsored and
supported training. Endstate Common policy and

National Transition Training Plan
Issue 08- 011 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
possible to identify 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. One goal of the
Transition Training Program is to motivate
intense, early interaction between principals of
departments and agencies and their emergency
program staffs (i.e. Ops Centers) that provide
them support within their organizations. The
Federal Interagency POHA Concept Plan is in final
coordination and represents a Federal Strategic
Plan for maintaining operational continuity
during the upcoming 2008-2009 Transition period.
The NEP Transition Training Program supports this
Concept Plan. No additional funding requirements
are expected other than those associated with
CEP/JEP exercises Endstate The culmination of
the NEP Transition Training Program is a capstone
NEP Tier I Exercise in July 2009 which will serve
as an immersive experience for the senior
officials. An expected outcome of the program is
senior-level questioning of both internal and
interagency processes. POAM As outlined

Prioritization/De-confliction of Combatant
Command Exercises
Issue 08-014 Scheduling resources to support
combatant command events is challenging given
daily OPSTEMPO, personnel, fiscal, and time
constraints and multiple events executing during
the same period. Need overall de-confliction
resolution process for Combatant Command
Exercises. Discussion Limited service resources
(forces, equipment, exercise support) preclude
the ability to support competing combatant
command exercises requiring USAF resources.
Authority has been given to JFCOM to
synchronize/de-conflict combatant command
exercises. However, de-confliction issues remain
and scheduled de-confliction conferences have
been focused more on Service rather than
combatant command exercises. Without a refocused
de-confliction resolution process, the Services
will be forced to prioritize/reduce their support
for competing combatant command exercises.
Current exercise forecast have scheduled major
combatant command exercises (Talisman Saber,
Ardent Sentry, Austere Challenge, etc.) 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 run by USJFCOM involving all
stakeholders that effectively de-conflicts
combatant command exercises (recommend at least
one working group at each WJTSC). Conflicting
resolution issues to be resolved by the CE2 SLT

CCDR Joint Evaluation Team

• Issue 07-015 Combatant Commander desires a joint
  evaluation team that can measure Joint Task Force
  (JTF) performance to standard
• Discussion
• Combatant Commanders (CCDRs) are responsible
  for certifying the readiness of HQ staffs to
  serve as JTF-capable HQ. A key element of this
  task is to measure the capability of the HQ staff
  (during a culminating exercise) relative to
  standards. The culminating exercise comes at the
  conclusion of a detailed joint and multinational
  training regimen for the JTF.
• USPACOM requires a qualified team to observe
  and evaluate to standard, provide feedback both
  to the JTF Commander and CCDR, and to provide
  documentation on JTF performance to assist
  individual JTF and theater program improvements.
• Joint Training System (JTS) philosophy and
  execution have matured to where training
  audiences need critical insight and clearly
  documented feedback of what they did right and
  what areas require improvement.
• USJFCOM JWFC DTT states these requirements are
  outside their charter.
• Endstate Qualified joint evaluation team
  available to assist in JTF Certification.

  approved POM 10 funding levels.
• Discussion The directed 31 cut in 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 Irregular Warfare
  research and development and, Reduction in
  training capability.
• Endstate Training risk to the Force minimized,

GEF-Driven Analysis of CE2 Requirements
Issue 08-015 GEF-Driven (CCDR Theater Campaign
Plan) Analysis of CE2 Funding Requirements Discuss
ion The "buying power" of CE2T2 POM funding is
eroding based on prevailing economic trends for
the costs of fuel, directly influencing strategic
lift (air, sea, surface) and commercial
ticketing. With OSD guidance to stay within
CE2T2 and not seek additional resources, the POM
forecast presents a relatively "flat" picture
considering the stand-up of USAFRICOM only
provided an additional 4.5M/year to CE2
(combatant command HQ support). Guided by the
GEF, CCDRs must determine what is the baseline
level of performance against their Theater
Campaign/Engagement Plans as reflected in their
Joint Training Plans and overall exercise and
training programs. CE2T2 funds are allocated
based on historical funding rates, versus a
bottom-up review of baseline requirements. Under
zero-growth, stakeholders are reluctant to
prioritize their requirements across the
enterprise (all stakeholders), as any increase
will result in another command's
decrease. Endstate Enterprise bottom-up review
of combatant command baseline requirements for
JETP, SIF, combatant command HQ Support, JWFC
Support, and JTF/FC HQ Certification, resulting
in a more accurate assessment of CCDRs' ability
to execute their programs. Results of analysis
could be used to rebalance CE2 allocations in
accordance with the GEF. POAM CE2 SLT conduct
baseline review and develop recommendations to
the T2 SAG. OPR JS J-7 JETD OCRs Combatant

  exercises conducted by ABCA partner nations and
  combatant commands/Services.
• Discussion  JTEN currently has temporary
  connections to like networks in Australia and the
  United Kingdom, with a connection to Canada on
  the horizon. No formal procedure exists for
  scheduling the use of the JTEN by ABCA partners
  or combatant commands/Services for the scheduling
  and provisioning of distributed training assets
  (i.e. Virtual and Constructive training
  enablers).
• Endstate Development of a formal coordination

Issue 08-019 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. AMETL, ATP, 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
(NSA and DISA) who do not have a JTSS. Endstate

  Training, Mission Planning and Rehearsal
  Capabilities.
• DiscussionILES meets this shortfall by providing
  an education, training, and mission rehearsal
  capability that supports both DOD and Interagency
  partners in meeting our homeland defense
  requirements. ILES 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 ILES can significantly
  shorten the JELC while improving
  knowledge/capability. USNORTHCOM and JFCOM are
  collaborating on the development of an ILES
  prototype this ILES system evolution facilitates
  Joint and Interagency training, mission planning,
  rehearsal, and COA analysis.
• Endstate ILES 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
  ILES capability, in which ILES 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 ILES capability, providing
  integration with the JKO Portal to provide a
  generalized small group training capability.

Joint Staff Officer Proficiency
Issue 08-017 The ramp up time to achieve desired

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 J7 leading the
development of a Joint Staff Officer Course as a

Monthly Training Assessment Update Requirement
Issue 07-019 Inconsistent updates of training
assessments in the Joint Training Information
Management System (JTIMS) Discussion JTIMS is
an integral part of a larger system, including
DRRS, that will identify readiness deficiencies
and help develop solutions. Yet JTIMS data update
requirements do not support timely identification
of deficiencies and issues. Joint training
readiness has been identified as a priority
issue by T2 leadership, and use of JTIMS is being
reviewed as part of the 2007 T2 Block Assessment.
Policy (JTM) states the commanders assessment
will be published as part of the annual JTP. A
recent review indicated that 60 of combatant
command JMET assessments are not published in
JTIMS. Policy also states it is critical to
have a linkage between Joint readiness and
training. Part of the T2 Block Assessment is
examining the linkage between DRRS and JTIMS.
DRRS requires assessments every 30 days whereas
JTIMS doesnt have the same rigor. Therefore it
appears there is a disconnect between training
and overall readiness assessments. The linkage
that will send TPAs and MTAs from JTIMS to DRRS
is the technical part of the solution. WJTSC
08-2 Update JTIMS currently provides the
capabilities to enter and approve assessments.
DRRS currently displays TPAs and will, in the
future, display MTAs. CJCSI 3500.01E, Joint
Training Policy and Guidance, updated 31 May 08
to include the requirement to provide monthly
Task Proficiency Assessments (TPAs). Endstate
JTIMS assessments will be synchronized with DRRS
requirements to provide a reliable, timely, and
consistent element of the system. POAM
JTIMS v3.1 (March 09) will include the
capability to assess each task individually.

  the joint training community regarding how joint
  training trends and joint training assessment
  taskers will be achieved.
• Discussion. The JTPG (CJCSI 3500.01C) stated
  USJFCOM is responsible for annually assessing
  the effectiveness of joint training, to include
  describing emerging training trends in the joint
  community briefing training trends at the
  September WJTSC and reporting results of the
  training assessment to the Chairman. Combatant
  Commands/CSAs will annually provide USJFCOM with
  their joint training trends by 30 June for
  integration into USJFCOMs annual training trends
  brief presented at the September WJTSC. CJCSI
  3500.01D was updated to state JS J7 will develop
  annual assessment of Joint Training to brief
  trends at the WJTSC. CJCSI 3500.01E was updated
  to specify monthly TPA reporting requirement.
• Endstate Joint training trends are identified
  and briefed annually.
• POAM JTIMS v2.4 currently provides Training
  Trends Reporting Capabilities and this
  requirement will be analyzed and reviewed for
  additional enhancements semi-annually. JS J-7
  to brief first Trend Analysis reports during
  WJTSC 08-2. JTIMS v3.1 will provide additional
  filters to select the assessment timeframe
  (rather than by FY only), as well as the monthly
  individual task training proficiency assessments
  to provide additional fidelity.

JTIMS Force Requests Units and Individuals
Issue 07-013 A business rule (process) is
needed to enable sourcing of all exercise force
requirements via Joint Training Information
Management System (JTIMS). Discussion USJFCOM
J3 receives and processes force requirements that
sponsoring GCCs are unable to source. Presently,
only units may be inserted and resourced via
JTIMS. Many exercises require specialty skills
(or partial staffs) that cannot be defined as a
unit. These will be referred to as Below UIC
(BUIC) level requirements. Though the current JTM
states that these requirements should be filled
via Service channels, a change has been submitted
to reflect that USJFCOM J3 will assist in
sourcing BUICs. As articulated in the Joint
Training, Policy and Guidance (CJCSI 3500.01D),
Joint Training Manual (CJCSM 3500.03B) and on JS
J7 issue slide 07-006, JTIMS is the system of
record for requesting forces. Multiple GCCs
believe that a business rule (process) should be
established to avoid using disparate systems when
JTIMS can and should serve as the single system
of record for force requests. Endstate
USJFCOM J3 work with stakeholders to establish
straight-forward business rules (process) that
enables all force requirements (unit and BUIC)
via JTIMS. Additionally, USJFCOM J3 develop
JTIMS enhancements to support new process. POAM
USJFCOM validate draft business rules and JS J7
update policy to reflect new exercise individual
force requests. JTIMS v3.1 (FY09, Q1) deployment
will provide enhanced Individual Exercise Force
Request/Sourcing capabilities. Issue remains
open until enhanced capabilities are deployed and
assessed. Demonstrate capabilities during WJTSC
09-1. OPRs JS J7 JETD, USJFCOM J3.

Global Force Management Board (GFMB) Process for
Joint Exercises

• Issue 08-012 Out-year fidelity of GFMB exercise
  data exported from JTIMS is less than GFMB tool
  calls for.
• Discussion The GFMB process specifies that force
  management data for joint exercises be entered in
  JTIMS and then migrated to the GFMB tool until
  database sharing is functional. However, the
  out-year information available for exercises
  beyond the current Fiscal/Calendar year is, at
  best, only a rough order of magnitude
  representation of what will be needed/deployed
  for a given long-range exercise.
• Planning Endstate GFMB process accounts for
  normal uncertainty in long-range exercise
  calendars.
• POAM
• combatant commands ensure JTIMS is as fully
  populated as practicable to match the GFMB
  planning horizon
• JTIMS exercise data currently exported to JCRM.
  V3.1 will provide an enhanced web service
  capability for near real time data integration.
• GFMB processes are applied to combatant command
  Joint exercise data
• GFMB steady-state planning cycle supports force
  management requirements for joint exercises

Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS)

• Issue 06-010 The Joint community lacks a single
  automated support system to discover, apply,
  share and research joint lessons.
• Discussion The DoD Lessons Learned Community
  lacks a repository capability as well as the
  input support tools vital to effective knowledge
  management.
• POMd for FY09-FY13.
• CJCSN 3150.25, 22 Jan 08 codified JLLIS as the
  DoD System of Record for the Joint Lessons
  Learned Program.
• Foreign Disclosure policy is unclear and lacks
  standardized implementation across DoD. Varied
  interpretation of policy is a barrier to sharing
  of data across DoD, the Interagency and with
  Foreign Nationals. This is a DOD and USG issue.
• JLLIS baseline implementation started in Aug 07
  and is IOC as of Sep 08.

Integration of Interagency Partners
Issue 07-001 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
DoD recognizes the value of interagency partners
as role players, senior mentors, and/or
simulation cells to provide authoritative and
realistic interagency input and support to DoD
TEEE events. Demand and funding of this
expertise has been ad hoc and uncoordinated.
Endstate Increase participation in DOD events
to improve the whole of government context and to
provide realism that accurately reflects the
complexity of integrated planning and operations.
POAM To enhance TEEE 1. OSD/PR develops a
strategy and process for resourcing,
prioritizing, requesting, and scheduling
interagency integration into Combatant Command
and Service TEEE at the front end of the planning
cycle. 2. OSD PR implement mechanisms to source
vetted and validated agency personnel or
contractors for DOD TEEE. 3. Explore expansion
of solutions for IA support to the larger
integrated operations requirement. OPRs

Unified Action Training
Issue 06-002 Individuals assigned to combatant
command staffs are not formally trained on
doctrinal interagency coordination tasks and
continue to execute unified actions in an ad hoc
fashion. Discussion National strategic guidance
requires USG personnel to plan, coordinate and
implement unified actions. There is a need to
develop and implement an integrated DOD-wide
interagency training program, to provide
personnel unified action training to accomplish
missions. Endstate An integrated DoD-wide
interagency coordination training program
supports combatant command unified actions
requirements and incorporates both content as
well as throughput requirements and tracking for
personnel. Deployment systems ensure personnel
deployment/assignment orders contain
assignment-appropriate pre-deployment training
for unified actions and provide adequate lead
time to accomplish such training. OSD and JS
provide combatant commands with trained senior
leadership and staff officers prepared to
accomplish interagency coordination. POAM
OSD/PR develop a long-term unified action
training strategy, building on its short-term PRT
work. JKDDC enterprise portal services and
courses available for stakeholder requirements.

Unified Action Education

• Issue 06-003 Personnel assigned to combatant
  commands not formally educated or trained to
  accomplish doctrinal interagency coordination
  tasks staffs execute unified actions ad hoc.
• Discussion National strategic guidance requires
  USG personnel to plan, coordinate and implement
  interagency operations. There is a need to
  develop and implement an integrated DOD-wide
  interagency learning program, to provide
  personnel doctrinal orientation to accomplish
  missions.
• Endstate An integrated DoD-wide learning program
  based on doctrinal guidance in JP3-08 supports
  combatant command interagency coordination
  requirements and incorporates both content as
  well as throughput requirements and tracking of
  personnel. Deployment systems ensure personnel
  deployment/assignment orders contain
  assignmentappropriate pre-deployment learning
  for unified actions and provide adequate lead
  time to accomplish such learning prior to
  arrival at joint assignments. JS and combatant
  commands staffed with trained and educated senior
  leaders and staff officers who can accomplish
  interagency coordination/unified action.
• POAM
• Service/Joint JPME schools continue to support
  doctrine-based learning in Unified Action.
• USD/PR and JS J1 develop personnel management
  processes that support enhanced throughput,
  assignment, tracking, incentives, and appropriate
  learning prior to arrival to any joint
  assignment.
• JKDDC expand, in near-term, Interagency 101
  (Interagency Cultural Differences and Awareness)
  courseware modules in development as part of NSPD
  44 mandate for training and education in support
  of reconstruction and stabilization operations.
  Far-term, modify existing JKDDC interagency
  courses (Interagency process, JIACG et al) based
  on JS guidance from the mandated USG-wide
