Joint Training, Exercise and Evaluation Program (JTEEP)
Abstract
These programs support readiness of the joint force by creating a joint training environment to replicate the complex and changing operational environment. These investments directly support defense strategic guidance, Joint Operational Training Infrastructure strategy, and enhance joint warfighting readiness by building training capabilities that support the operational readiness of the joint force. The elements associated with this coordinated effort consist of: JNTC: The mission of the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) program is to advance joint capabilities and interoperability by concentrating on emerging joint training requirements through collective training using a managed set of globally distributed capabilities and activities. The program resources Service and Special Operations Forces joint training to improve interoperability and create realistic tactical and operational joint training. JNTC enables joint training for Combatant Commands and Services by developing joint training content and ensuring global distributed access. JNTC enabling capabilities support Services and USSOCOM requirements to provide trained and ready joint forces in support of Combatant Command operational requirements. The program supports the Joint Operational Training Infrastructure (JOTI). This program focuses efforts on improving readiness and creates a ready surge force consistent with Chairman’s guidance and will provide the means to train joint forces for the operationalization of the Joint Warfighting Concept. JKDDC: Joint Knowledge Development & Distribution Capability (JKDDC) Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) is the program of record for online joint training that implements and operationalizes the OSD training transformation JKDDC. JKO directly supports the JTEEP program by developing, delivering, tracking, reporting, and supporting online training for Combatant Command exercises; Combatant Command required training; doctrinally based Joint Operations Core Curriculum; multinational, coalition, interagency training; OSD required training; and administration of the Senior Enlisted Joint Professional Military Education program. JKO expends RDT&E funding for leading edge technology review, market research, and integration to directly enhance various aspects of the training capability required to support Combatant Commanders, JTEEP program objectives, and the Chairman's joint training guidance. JKO satisfies all requirements necessary to provide JTEEP stakeholders with a distributed learning capability and access to web-based training content, learning resources, and distributed online training tools. Air Force Joint National Training Center (JNTC): Air Force JNTC funding provides a focused upgrade to develop models for space-based and cyber capabilities for integration into the Joint Live, Virtual, and Constructive (JLVC) environment as well supporting development of cross-domain solutions. Additionally, the Air Force invests in development of capabilities to enhance the rigor and fidelity of training for live and virtual members of joint training audiences. Navy JNTC: These funds enable Navy to develop unique maritime capabilities that integrate JLVC elements into a seamless joint training environment. The Navy program activities include conducting research, development, and integration of a common, realistic, joint and coalition, operational to tactical level training architecture to deliver individual and collective constructive joint training for use in Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) events, CCDR exercises, Ballistic Missile Defense Exercises (BMDEX) certification events, and BMD at Sea training events in support of CCDR’s training, deployment certification and operational requirements. Marine Corps JNTC: These funds provide USMC stability and risk reduction to a variety of ongoing joint efforts focused on improving the fidelity and realism of training simulation systems that prepare Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) units for deployment in support of CCMD operations. Efforts align with JOTI Strategy Goal #1, Improve the use of LVC training and support the Commandant’s planning guidance. The Marine Corps will continue to improve performance and support of the MAGTF Tactical Warfare Simulation in the areas of the JLVC-Multi- Resolution Federation (MRF) Bridge, common database terrain data ingestion, and JLVC interoperability. It will provide a single source training environment capability enabling users to select single or multiple play boxes (terrain data sets) for training simulation systems. Also developing an exercise planning, design, implementation, execution, and control tool. LSGE: Large Scale Global Exercises (LSGE) initiative facilitates the joint operational training gaps through JS-led service supported development. During execution of CCMD exercises as part of the JTEEP, tier 3 and 4 events are frequently nested within the overall Tier 1 and 2 events. This funding will address joint operational training gaps through service-led development.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Congressional defense-wide reduction to Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) funding, and a directed Congressional reduction (-3.991M) to this Program Element in FY 2023. Increased FY 2024 funding reflects the Secretary's direction on the Large Scale Global Exercise (LSGE), funding for Joint Staff Joint Live, Virtual and Constructive (JLVC) modernization, and a minor adjustment to comply with the Department's economic assumptions. Primary focus of the LSGE program is to ensure the joint training synthetic environment is optimized and responsive for the coordinating authority to conduct LSGE at a time and place of their choosing uninhibited by current training architecture shortfalls. JLVC Modernization program is targeting modernization of the entire JLVC synthetic training environment to better represent current and future friendly and enemy capabilities in all domains. JLVC Modernization transitions our synthetic environment to a data-centric modular open systems architecture that aligns to the DoD Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) strategy. This leverages the material development capabilities within the Services and Combat Support Agencies to mitigate or close the Joint Operational Training Gaps (JOTGs) identified in the China Task Force study.
