Purpose: This Working Group was convened to examine USJFCOM J7 exercise support. An in- depth look at the current year and next year calendar as well as an overarching view of 2-3 years out.

Discussion:

• Conducted a month by month review of Joint Warfighting Center (JWFC) Exercise support calendar to resolve dates and support issues

• Updated JWFC Deployable Training Team (DTT) support - returning the planning factor to two DTT’s

• Caveat - real world operational support takes precedence

• January Deconfliction Conference is the starting point for support issue identification

• May and August continue to be support challenges at least thru 2013.

• AW 11 concept support will to be socialized prior to the next WJTSC

• KORCOM support and USPACOM priorities need to be addressed.

Outcomes: Excellent exchange between combatant command representatives concerning priorities and factors influencing JWFC support in their area of responsibility.

Integrated Operations Training: Mission Rehearsal Exercises and combatant command events are Inherently Integrated Operations Training Events

Issues: None

Issue 08-018: The enhancement of ACGU Joint, Combined, Multilateral training in order to increase operational capability, preparedness, and improve interoperability.Discussion:  No formal procedure exists for scheduling and coordinating ACGU Joint Combined and Multilateral training and use of the full range of Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) training capabilities. An ACGU 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. The WG will use 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 ACGU 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 ACGU 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 (c/w)

- Establish ACGU Working Group membership and chair (Policy/Scheduling and Technical/Systems) (c/w)

- Define ACGU training scope - Establishment of a scheduling process for the JTEN and Virtual & Constructive assets- Develop and adopt ACGU country agreements/business rules formalizing this process

Issue 07-014: Diminishing resources dictate the need for a cost effective solution for delivering Joint training. Currently both the JLVC Federation & Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) support Joint training. A revised strategy for development & sustainment of an enterprise training capability that supports Joint training is required

Discussion: The JLVC Federation is the standard for Joint training & provides the most realistic environment to align joint training with combatant command assigned missions, requirements & constraints. The JLVC federation is comprised of both Joint & Service simulations & tools. JTLS supports the combatant command Joint Exercise Program (JEP), yet, JTLS lacks the capability to model high fidelity strategic to tactical operations. This shortfall was noted in the Joint Staff’s Training Capabilities Analysis of Alternatives Gaps 1-22. JLVC addresses these gaps. Recent cuts to Training Transformation (T2) Research, Development, Testing & Evaluation funds have driven the need for a revised strategy for development & sustainment of an enterprise training capability that can met future training requirements such as those of United States Korea Command (KORCOM). JTLS sustainment is funded (O&M) for FY10. Sustained maintenance of JTLS is required. The JLVC is funded through the FYDP with combatant command funding for event integration (CE2) & USJFCOM T2 funding for development.

Endstate: A single Joint training federation that is compostable, has a low overhead competitive capability, & can meet the training requirements of Tier I – IV training audiences (including those of KORCOM).

POA&M: Develop a JLVC low cost option. Determine capabilities of JTLS needed to be incorporated into the JLVC. Develop a plan for implementing capabilities into the JLVC & conduct a business case analysis to determine cost effectiveness of the plan. Conduct front end analysis of KORCOM training requirements. Obtain needed T2 funding for JLVC development.

Joint Training EnterpriseTraining Modeling & Simulation Gaps

Issue 09-001: Joint Training Enterprise identified key training Modeling & Simulation (M&S) gaps which are currently unfunded.

Discussion: The Joint Training Enterprise executed a M&S Training Gap Analysis Forum (TGAF) on 16 February 2010 in order to re-validate the top training M&S gaps as directed by OSD P&R. The forum was conducted using the established Joint Training Review Group ( JTRG) technical requirement procedures. Re-validation occurred with minimal change to the prioritized issue list. Three of the top identified gaps from the M&S TGAF are currently unfunded (IAMD, Space, Cyber).

Endstate: Approval of validated M&S 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. Conduct detailed analysis to determine optimal solutions.
