Abstract

This edition of the Joint Center for Lessons Learned (JCLL) Bulletin is designed to provide some considerations for joint task forces (JTF) and other headquarters. It contains four articles from various sources that give insights into some of the planning factors associated with JTFs, and results of recent events within the Joint Community. In the first article, Effects Assessment - Millennium Challenge '02 and Beyond, the author discusses the concept, issues, and lessons learned from Millennium Challenge 2002 (MC02). Joint Combat Identification Evaluation Team (JCIET) 2002 - Field Evaluation, gives an overview (JCIET) of the objectives, results, and recommendations from the JCIET 2002 field training event. This event was centered on improving combat identification of hostile forces and minimizing the potential for friendly fire incidents. The third article, Analytic Support for Courses of Action Development During Crisis Action Planning, discusses course of action (COA) analysis tools available at the operational level of war for crisis action planning (CAP). The author provides the results of an in-depth study he conducted on the subject. This study is designed to assist JTF staffs in this important and critical function. The final article is a compilation of various trends studies in organizing and manning a JTF headquarters. The topics covered in these analysis papers include Ad Hoc Staff Manning; Experience Levels of JTF Staff Personnel; JTF Headquarters Standing Operating Procedure and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures; Integration of JTF Intelligence Assets; and, Information Management. Each of these studies by the Analysis Support Branch involved the investigation and analysis of numerous records within the lessons learned database.
