Joint National Training Capability (JNTC)

Abstract

Investment in the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) program will enable Service and Combatant Commands to train as they operate. The net funding increase from FY 2016 through FY 2018 represents planned growth and internal reprogramming decisions to accelerate development of a cloud-enabled joint training environment. The funding requested continues to modernize joint training capabilities into a single integrating architecture for Joint Training that is aligned to the DoD Chief Information Officer IT mandates. Funding supports the development of cloud-enabled modular training application services. Program intent is to reduce dependence on touch labor, and mitigate the impact of reductions in operation and sustainment funding. Focus must be maintained to deliver operationally relevant training environments and respond to changes in global security landscape and the warfighter’s operational environment. JNTC enables the Department of Defense to be responsive to the warfighters’ pace of changing operational concepts, threat environments, and best practices. In FY 2018, this investment continues expanding capabilities and access for Service and Combatant Command trainers to plan and execute joint training. Funds support improved relevance and realism of training by providing capabilities that replicate the contemporary and future operating environment.
