JOINT INNOVATIVE TRAINING METHODS & TOOLS (JITMT)
Abstract
Joint Force Trainer supports development capabilities in Joint simulations to eliminate training gaps identified by the Combatant Commanders (COCOMs) and in accordance with Secretary of Defense’s Training and Transformation objectives. In accordance with the Unified Command Plan 2006, US Joint Forces Command (JFCOM), Joint Warfighting Center leads the development and implementation of system architectures that directly support distributed Joint training requirements of the other COCOMs, Joint Task Forces, and Defense Agencies. The underlying premise of JITMT centers on privatization of training support and development with the competitive market forces driving the development of technologies to reduce the cost of training. The creation of a JFCOM Joint Oversight Board establishes a governance process to review the effectiveness of the tools and the providers. Management of the toolkit, which is a set of capabilities, and system certified technologies that are interoperable and acceptable for usage within the Joint training environment and supports; Joint Exercises, Doctrine, Lessons Learned, Distributed Learning, and Modeling & Simulation (M&S). There will be a government-led Consortium with industry and academia that ensures the tools in the toolkit comply with the requirements of the common architecture. A number of emerging technologies from Industry, Government and Academic sources that offer the greatest potential to reengineer Joint training are considered for training use. These technologies include Light Simulations, Light Federations, Story-Driven Training, Massively-Multi-player Games, Training Objective Driven Simulation, Embedded Training, and Joint Community Unique Simulations
