Draft Mission Need Statement (MNS) for the Joint Simulation System (JSIM)
Abstract
This Joint Simulation System (JSIMS) mission need statement (MNS) responds to the DOD Planning Guidance FY 1995-1999.' Specifically: (a) 'direction of the combatant commands, CINCACOM for most CONUS-based forces, and the other unified commands for their assigned forces, place increased emphasis on joint and combine exercises and training that stresses interoperability and joint warfighting doctrine and prepares joint task force commands and staffs for crisis and contingency operations.1, (Page 34) (b) 'emphasis on use of simulators, to include the use of distributed simulation for large-scale interactive training, making use of test ranges or facilities where feasible, to provide most efficiently a well trained force.' (Page 35) (c) 'emphasis on integration of training facilities for joint exercises through integrated use of all forms of simulation and field exercises.' (Page 35) (d) 'Coordination with the combatant commanders, Services and CJCS will develop appropriate training programs and exercises to support peacekeeping, peace enforcement, counterdrug, disaster relief and humanitarian assistance operations.' (Page 35) (e) 'plans to use advances in simulation to reduce requirements for field training of command staffs with allies.' (Page 36) (f) 'keep our military ready to fight, we must maintain a force that can respond quickly, is sustainable, and is prepared to fight upon arrival. This requires intense training, high readiness, highly qualified and motivated personnel, rapid strategic mobility, and sufficient support and sustainment capabilities.' (Page 14)
