COCOM Exercise Engagement and Training Transformation (CE2T2)

Abstract

These programs support readiness of the joint force by creating a Joint Training Environment to replicate the complex and ever changing operational environment. These investments support the Secretary of Defense’s (SECDEF) Combatant Commanders Exercise Engagement and Training Transformation (CE2T2) initiative to enable and enhance Joint Warfighting readiness by training as we intend to fight. The elements associated with this coordinated effort consist of: - Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) - Joint Simulation Systems (JSS) - Joint Knowledge Development & Distribution Capability (JKDDC) - U.S. Forces Korea Training & Exercise Support (USFK) - Air Force JNTC - Navy JNTC JNTC: The Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) program adds joint/integrated context to existing Service and Combatant Commander (COCOM) training programs. This is accomplished through integrated live, virtual, and constructive training environment and prepares units, and commanders for operations in joint/integrated operational environments. JNTC can train against a general or mission focused threat; test doctrine, tactics, techniques, procedures, Joint Operational Concepts, and equipment. As the integrating environment, JNTC provides training to the full complement of defense, inter-agency and multi-national audiences. Active and reserve forces train in a realistic joint context with other Services and joint/integrated battle staffs. Battle staffs from joint, component, and tactical headquarters train and rehearse using real-world command and control systems, with tactical forces represented through simulation support. JSS: The Joint Simulation System provides the joint models and simulation enabling trained, capable, and interoperable Joint Forces. This effort provides warfighters with the joint simulation to keep pace with operational environment supporting the Joint Force 2020 and ensure the Joint Training Environment reacts to strategic guidance such as training in anti-access anti-denial environments. JKDDC: Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) is the DOD unique and authoritative source for online joint training. They are tasked to develop a Joint Individual Training Toolkit of web-enabled individual and small group training products and services. Products and services are developed in response to OSD(P&R) CE2T2 Program Goals & Objectives guidance, CJCS High Interest Training Items, Joint Staff J7 training priorities, and JKDDC Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) Stakeholder (CCMDs, Services, and Combat Support Agencies) prioritized training requirements. JKDDC JKO supports a career-long joint learning continuum, joint professional military education and tailored common training standards to Service members for tasks that are jointly executed, resulting in trained, capable, and interoperable joint forces. JKDDC JKO technology initiatives principally include Small Group Scenario Trainer (SGST) desk top modeling & simulation based training, OSD requested virtual worlds prototype, and mobile “pilot” courseware training devices. These capabilities facilitate the training and preparation of tens of thousands of military and civilian personnel deploying to CCMD theaters of operation prior to serving in their assigned Combined/Joint Task Force (C/JTF) billets. Specifically, C/JTF ‘battle staffs’ will be adequately trained, as individuals and the staffs collectively, based on SGST development and implementation throughout the joint training enterprise. JKO mobile “pilot” courseware training device development facilitates the global distribution of web-based joint training content on portable, hand-held platforms for joint warriors. The future virtual worlds learning environment will provide training and learning to promote adaptability and agility in the workforce with the capability to tailor and adapt instructional material to fit the learner's strengths and weaknesses, learning style, and level of proficiency. USFK: This program provides to Joint Training Environment to support the 2015 stand-up of KORCOM as a sub-unified command under PACOM. This program is developing a Jointly Accredited and Supported Modeling & Simulation federation of constructive simulations capable of satisfying all joint exercise training requirements in the Korean Theater of Operations. This simulation system is also interoperable with the Republic of Korea developed Korean Simulation System. This solution will be capable of interoperating in a common battle space that realistically represents the operating environment to all levels of training audiences, tactical to strategic, in Korean theater exercises. While supporting USFK’s specific requirements, this solution will contain enhancements that will benefit all users of the JLVC. Air Force JNTC: Supports the SECDEF's Transformation in Training/Joint National Training Capability (JNTC). Develops capabilities that integrate live, virtual, and constructive elements into a seamless joint training environment. Using a scientific and phased approach and focusing on modeling air and space capabilities, researches new technologies and methods that provide a crucial technology-based foundation supporting all JNTC operations. Navy JNTC: Supports SECDEF Transformation of DoD training and Joint National Training Capability. These funds enable Navy in developing unique maritime capabilities that integrate live, virtual, and constructive elements into a seamless joint training environment. Navy continues to develop and integrated joint training technologies that play a crucial role in its ability to address current and future joint operational training requirements. Navy program activities include conducting research, development, test and evaluation and cross-service architecture certification on all T2 capable systems, developing cross-domain architectures for US and Coalition Forces as well as ensure sister service modeling/simulation and instrumentation efforts follow a common unified standard.
