Technology in Coalition Training

Abstract

The Regional Security Cooperation Network (RSCN) initiative originated in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and was subsequently designated as an activity of US Joint Forces Command. RSCN is not a physical network that requires substantial financial investment, hardware, software and technical support. Rather, it is a management improvement tool that leverages existing and exploits future information technology capabilities with the overall objective of improving training effectiveness while eliminating duplication of effort. RSCN is envisioned as an enabler of enhanced, US-led coalition education and training efforts that form the foundation of security cooperation and interoperability now and in the years to come. As OSD's lead agent for RSCN, US Joint Forces Command must articulate the potential benefits of the RSCN concept to the Combatant Commanders and leadership of DoD education and training institutions.
