Accordingly, our model concept for a Standing Joint Force Test prototype during Millennium Challenge 2002 (a major joint 2002 JAN 2003 Establish baseline Issue guidance Establish oversight Publish "Joint Force Command and Control Concept to Guide FY 2003 ་་ ་་ ་ ་་ ་ ་ ་ ་་ ESTABLISH A GLOBAL JOINT PRESENCE POLICY To better manage how we use air, land, sea, and space assets across service lines-and to improve coordination in the readiness and tempo of operations of all U.S. forces-we will establish steady-state levels of air, land, and naval presence in critical regions around the world. By matching our stationing and deployment policies to specific operational tasks, we will improve the capability and flexibility of U.S. forward-stationed forces and better control force management risks. Our inaugural Global Joint Presence Policy was issued in the summer of 2003. Enhance Homeland Defense and Consequence Management In January 2002, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, working with the vice chiefs of the military services and the Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps, chartered a major study of the Department's ability to perform homeland defense missions. Using the consolidated list of all major military tasks as a baseline, the team identified 151 operational tasks related to homeland defense missions that would contribute to homeland security, and 32 associated deficiencies considered serious enough to warrant immediate remedial action. Drawing on the results of this effort, the Joint Staff and the Commander, U.S. Northern Command, in cooperation with other federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Transportations Security Administration, are refining an operational concept and architecture for identifying and evaluating homeland defense missions. DEFINE AND DEVELOP TRANSFORMATIONAL The dramatic transformation of America's strategic environment Today's trainers must prepare the force to learn, improvise, and intergovernmental, and multinational operations. The long-term goals of training transformation are to: • Improve readiness and align military capabilities with the needs of the combatant commanders. • Develop individuals and organizations that think intuitively as joint entities. • Develop individuals and organizations that instinctively adapt their response to a constantly changing threat. • Achieve adaptation by unifying diverse means. Achieving these objectives begins with changing the way people think and the way organizations operate. We must create, impart, and apply knowledge, individually and collectively, via learning, education, and training, respectively. The new strategic environment requires orchestration of this wider diversity of means and a broader, more inclusive definition of "jointness." Accordingly, the training transformation implementation plan (www.t2net.org), signed by the Deputy Secretary on June 10, 2003, provides a road map to developing and fielding dynamic, capabilities-based training to Active and Reserve components; federal, state, and local agencies; and our international security partners, including nongovernmental organizations. This roadmap is framed around three key initiatives: the Joint Knowledge Development and Distribution Capability, the Joint National Training Capability, and the Joint Assessment and Enabling Capability. Joint Knowledge Development and Distribution Capability If we are to structure and employ forces in ways that will meet our strategic objectives, our forces must become multi-skilled and multidimensional- they must intuitively “think” joint. This means each civilian and military member of the force must understand the principles of joint operational art and "see" the battlespace through the lens of a common operating picture. This will allow them to apply knowledge collected from across the force and transform it into combat power that is able to surprise and overcome an aggressor. The Joint Knowledge Development and Distribution Capability (JKDDC) initiative is intended to leverage state-of-the-art distribution processes to access knowledge-in the form of education, learning, training, and human expertise-via a netcentric, knowledge-based, joint architecture that is interoperable with the joint training system. Thus, education and training 2003 2004 2005 2009 resources will be available anytime, anywhere. It also will allow onscene commanders, first responders, and others to seek real-time advice from subject-matter experts in the areas of language, culture, science, strategy, and planning working at military war colleges, universities, or other resource sites across the globe. Major JKDDC Milestones Establish a joint management office Stand up an Advisory Group Align ongoing initiatives for joint distributed learning Launch an initial web-based curriculum for joint military leader development Transition initial joint education and training prototype efforts to international coalition Joint National Training Capability Building on the training transformation of the 1970s, the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) will provide an environment for realistic joint exercises against aggressive, free-playing opposing forces, with credible feedback. This integrating environment will provide: Improved Horizontal Training that builds on existing service interoperability training • Improved Vertical Training that links component and joint command and staff planning and execution • Integration Exercises that enhance existing joint exercises to address joint interoperability training in a joint context Functional Training that provides a dedicated joint training environment for functional warfighting and complex joint tasks The JNTC will enable active and reserve component forces from all services, located at widely dispersed training sites around the globe, to train together on a 24-hour basis, while linked to real-world command and control systems. 2004 2005 2007 2009 JNTC can be used to train forces against a general threat, to conduct mission rehearsal against a specific threat, or to experiment with new doctrine, tactics, techniques, procedures, joint operational concepts, and equipment. By providing the means to represent large tactical forces via simulation, JNTC can present a range of realistic training to battle staffs from joint headquarters, component headquarters, and service tactical headquarters. Over time, JNTC will evolve to encompass a larger training audience, including coalition partners and federal, state, local, and nongovernmental agencies. Major JNTC Milestones Initial Operating Capability Provide joint context with command, control, communications, computer, Create an initial Web-based delivery capability for operational planning and Create an initial Web-based delivery capability for operational planning and Use the joint training system to link lessons learned from military operations, joint Assess all joint training tasks biannually in a joint context in selected joint Conduct specifically-designed major transformation events with complex tasks in Demonstrate a deployable JNTC, and mission rehearsal capabilities Establish fully-trained SJFHQ with functional components Joint Assessment and Enabling Capability The Joint Assessment and Enabling Capability (JAEC) initiative will help us systematically assess training transformation plans, programs, and investments across the Department, allowing us to continuously monitor how joint force readiness is improving.
