Massive Joint Multinational Exercise Planning to Solve Army Warfighting Challenges

Abstract

A division commander can solve an Army Warfighting Challenge (AWFC) through large joint and multinational training exercises without an increased budget. This paper offers example exercises and shows how division planners can tailor them to study AWFCs. Army and joint commanders should align the majority of their training objectives with AWFCs. This alignment would exponentially increase AWFC study, and would produce for military leadership, more proposed and implemented solutions to the challenges. AWFCs are not Army specific. They span the entire joint force. Commanders at all levels increase their combat power by exercising AWFCs. Joint and multinational training participation is a best-case scenario for AWFC study. Additional funding is not required for AWFC study by using the pay-to-play exercise model and by using mission command to maximize logistic synergy across military support networks.
