Distributed Training and Exercises

Abstract

In September 03, the AF/CV directed the establishment of funding to increase participation in joint transformation activities including joint concept development and experimentation and joint Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership & Education, Personnel & Facilities (DOTMLPF) recommendations. Air Force A5XS ensures accurate representation of air, space and cyber space capabilities in joint activities, through modeling and simulation and wargaming activities. The primary activity through which this is accomplished is the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force?s Unified Engagement (UE) wargame series. UE is a two-year cycle of planning, execution, analysis and reporting of activities that include workshops, seminars, capstone event, senior leader seminar, and Building Partnership Capacity events. The capstone event includes over 400 Joint, other Agency, and coalition partners supported by cutting edge technology creating the Wargame Information Environment (WIE). The WIE includes a fully deployable suite of information technology as well as Modeling & Simulation tools supported by multiple servers and workstations. The WIE evolves with each UE game cycle to reflect technological advancement and game objective requirements. The WIE employs numerous models to provide rigor to analysis of collected data to directly assist planners and adjudicators prior to, during and after game execution. The WIE offers a state of the art system for document management, office collaboration and chat that is fully integrated into the suite of tools. The newest addition to the WIE is a web-based tool to show force locations and processing force movement requests. The WIE provides collaboration tools and information throughout the wargame and associated events. The WIE provides users with integration of the latest modeling, simulation and analysis tools and also the infrastructure to support the WIE. Additionally, it captures insights and observations in support of post-game analysis and reporting. This program is categorized in Budget Activity (BA) 07 because it supports the development efforts of operational systems.
