Scheduling De-confliction of COCOM Exercises
Issue 08-014 Need overall de-confliction
resolution process for COCOM Exercises. Discussion
Limited service resources (forces, equipment,
exercise support) preclude the ability to support
competing COCOM exercises requiring USAF
resources. Authority has been given to JFCOM to
synchronize/de-conflict COCOM exercises.
However, de-confliction issues remain and
scheduled de-confliction conferences have been
focused more on Service rather than COCOM
exercises. Without a refocused de-confliction
resolution process, the Services will be forced
to prioritize/reduce their support for competing
COCOM exercises. Current exercise forecast have
scheduled major COCOM 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 JFCOM involving COCOMs
and Services that effectively de-conflicts COCOM
exercises (recommend at least 1 working group at
each WJTSC). Conflicting resolution issues to be
resolved by the CE2 SLT at each WJTSC. POAM
JFCOM re-energize/refocus their exercise
scheduling conferences with stakeholder
representation (COCOMs, Services). Status New
Issue. OPR COCOMs OCR JFCOM, Services
