Wargames and Exercises
Abstract
The Missile Defense Agency will continue to focus on providing operational-level interfaces to the Global Combatant Commands (GCCs) and increasing Warfighter participation to develop future missile defense capabilities. The MDA will continue to enhance Warfighter operational support through internal support activities and proactive execution of Combatant Command (CCMD) interface activities. - Work with CCMDs on the inclusion of Allies and regional partners into MDA Ground and Flight tests and WGEx simulations. - Provide warfighter training simulations in direct support of flight and ground tests. - Serve as liaison between internal MDA organizations and the Joint Functional Component Commander for Integrated Missile Defense (JFCC-IMD) across all functional areas to facilitate Geographic Combatant Command (GCC) participation in the BMDS capability definition, design, development, integration and delivery processes. - Support JFCC IMD and EUCOM in the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) implementation process through the planning, testing, integration and execution of BMDS wargames and exercises. - Support Joint Staff integration of MDA models into Tier I events through the JOINT, LIVE VIRTUAL CONSTRUCTIVE (JLVC) campaign. - Work with Program Offices and the Warfighter; publish a Concept of Operations that will support future MDA Models and Simulation (M&S) support to BMD wargames and exercises. - Coordinate and integrate CCMD requirements into the BMDS Integrated Master Test Plan. - Support the GCC Assistants to the Director (ATDs) and Liaison Officers (LNOs). - Provide support to the development and update of Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) portions of CCMD Operation Plans (OPLANS) and Contingency Plans (CONPLANS). - Engage in MDA/GCC interface and synchronization of information regarding capabilities and security cooperation strategies. - Develop and provide Wargames, Exercises and Table Top Exercises (TTX) in support of CCMD-specific scenarios as listed in the R4-4A schedule for the EUCOM, PACOM, CENTCOM and NORTHCOM/STRATCOM Geographic Combatant Commands. Additional GCC interface activities by region will include: USEUCOM Engagement: - Coordinate with USEUCOM for continued MDA support of key European Phased Adaptive Approach milestones in order to provide a full range of BMDS capabilities addressing ballistic missile threats to the European theater. - Work with USEUCOM to include NATO Allies and regional partners during MDA Ground tests, Flight tests, Wargames, and Exercises in order to improve Allied - US BMDS interoperability. - Coordinate with MDA program elements to facilitate rapid agency responses to USEUCOM requests for analysis and information. Provide reach-back support for the MDA ATD and LNO in USEUCOM for activities requiring visibility by the MDA Director and Director for Test. - Coordinate with MDA Global Deployment Program Office to plan and execute actions required for deployment of BMDS assets in the USEUCOM theater of operations. USCENTCOM Engagement: - Promote CCMD leadership in developing a regional partner data sharing system supporting USCENTCOM regional IAMD architecture development. - Coordinate with MDA program elements, assisting in planning and execution activities supporting USCENTCOM's regional partners. USPACOM Engagement: - Assist USPACOM leadership in broadening Phased Adaptive Approach planning to address a full range of threats and integration of allies into the BMDS. - Support USPACOM J3 in efforts to promote purchase of an Aegis Ashore system. - Share operational information and knowledge and help allies develop common operational procedures. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
