JOINT KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT & DISTRIBUTION CAPABILITY (JKDDC)

Abstract

The Department’s requirement is 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 JKDDC stakeholder (COCOMs, Services, and Combat Support Agencies) prioritized training requirements. JKDDC 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. This supports advanced technology development and enhancement for the Joint Advanced Distributive Learning training community. JKDDC advanced technology initiatives principally include the Virtual Cultural Awareness Training (VCAT) web-based gaming and Small Group ScenarioTrainer (SGST), both accessible via the Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) Learning Management System (LMS). This capability facilitates the training and preparation of tens of thousands of military and civilian personnel deployment to combat theaters of operation prior to serving in their assigned Joint Task Force (JTF) billets. Specifically, VCAT supports one of the top three identified training shortcomings of returning warriors from United States Central Command (CENTCOM) based JTFs (cultural awareness training). JTF ‘battle staffs’ will be adequately trained, warriors as individuals and the staffs collectively, based on SGST development, overcoming existent training inadequacies for joint warriors. Significant training deficiencies will be mitigated in critical ‘go to war’.
