USJFCOM Priorities Making Irregular Warfare a Core Competency USJFCOM Joint Irregular Warfare Center Establish a program for small unit excellence Enhancing Joint Command and Control Joint Command and Control Vision Approach C2 holistically, leader-centric and net-enabled Facilitate initiative and decision-making at the lowest level Operate in a C2 degraded environment Improving as a Joint Force Provider Better Global Force Management database & technology tools Expand existing high-demand and grow new capabilities Accelerating Efforts Toward a Whole of Government Approach Increase Interagency participation in exercises and training Support DoD and Interagency expeditionary capability Building and Improving Partnership Capacity Improving Training and Education Joint Professional Military Education Emphasis on human, cultural, language, and cognitive skills UNCLASSIFIED 3

USJFCOM Modeling and Simulation Responsibilities Manage the integrated joint training architectures using the DoD Architecture framework and in coordination with the combatant commanders; develop and define standards for live, virtual and constructive training capabilities, including technical development, capabilities prioritization, implementation, configuration control, and sustainment; and enforce standards through a certification process. (DoD Directive 1322.18, Military Training, 3 September 2004) Leading the development and operation of joint training systems and architectures that directly support the combatant commanders, Services, and defense agencies. (Unified Command Plan 2008) UNCLASSIFIED 4

The Joint Training “Environment” UNCLASSIFIED 7

Training Audience Cannot Tell The Difference Between What is Live and What is Not! Live-Virtual- Increasingly Global Real Forces Constructive Tools + Joint Training Network Real Service members in Simulators Computer Representation = Joint Training Environment that is Of Live Forces available to small tactical units UNCLASSIFIED through higher echelons of command 8

An Increasingly Global Joint Training Network Joint Warfare Center (JWC) *Stavanger, Norway JAC Molesworth United Kingdom JFTC Korean Battle Simulation Canada Command Poland Center (KBSC) ,Korea Ottawa, Canada WPC EUCOM Europe JTEN Hub Pacific JTEN Hub GrafenwÖhr, Germany Okinawa Camp Smith, HI Japan JWFC Suffolk, VA Exercise TALISMAN SABER connectivity: 51,000 mi.

Four Areas Where Modeling and Simulations Have The Greatest Need in Joint Training Missile Defense Irregular Warfare Immersive Training Simulation of “non-kinetic” – especially population related events • Population attitudes • Social networks UNCLASSIFIED 10

Making Irregular Warfare A Core Competency How Industry and Academia Can Help Characteristics that can make a difference: • Measurement and assessment of human performance is the centerpiece, not simply an ancillary benefit to help rationalize an investment. Provides the critical standard upon which “black boxes” will be evaluated. • Immersive, decision-making stimuli infinitely repeatable though nothing exactly repeated that was done before. • Modular to introduce increasing variables of complexity within changeable environments (to include conventional, nuclear, and irregular war). • Stresses tactical and ethical decision making leading to overall individual and small unit self-confidence. Open ended objectives…not merely electronic lane training. Challenges Cold War era Task-Condition-Standard construct. UNCLASSIFIED 12

Making Irregular Warfare A Core Competency How Industry and Academia Can Help Characteristics that can make a difference (cont.): • Replicates joint enablers such as ISR and joint fires (air and ground) when used at home station, and can integrate these live enablers in real-time for mission planning/rehearsal in combat. • Ensures distributed integration of joint capabilities -- designed with standard architectures to ensure interoperability with other systems. (A virtual F-22 at Langley AFB, Virginia “flying” in support of a Marine infantry squad negotiating the Infantry Immersive Trainer at Camp Pendleton, California). • Easily transitioned to the field. Same capability used at home station and in combat. Small, lightweight, transportable. • Evidence-based. Results measurable and can be correlated to return on investment. Diagnostic baseline...objective measurement / assessment. UNCLASSIFIED 13
