  2. AGENDA • Internal Exercise Programs • White Cell Development • AMETL Development

  3. Internal Exercise Programs • MIGHTY ARCHER (MA) exercise series • Evaluate AMETs not exercised in COCOM exercises • Culminating event executes annually • Use SLS or TTX, CPX or FTX as build-up training events • Agency Readiness & Preparedness Exercise Program (ARPEP) • A minimum of one per quarter • Seminar, workshop or small TTX format • Also serves as a build-up to MA culminating event • Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercises (EDRE) • No-notice event to exercise readiness to deploy • Focus on DTRA deployable teams

  4. White Cell Development • Decision to have internal exercises requires development of an exercise control group • Requires simulation of multiple facets across federal, state, and local organizations for realism • Approach requires budget line for outreach, TDY, and infrastructure

  6. AMETL Development • Robust series of individual workshops and meetings from Feb through Sep every year – This process works! • Written business rules with responsibilities and deliverables known in advance – No surprises! • Periodic progress reports delivered to Enterprise and Directorate level leadership – Engaged leadership! • Aggressive outreach to COCOMs for command linkages through visits and LNO participation – We go to them! • Introduced in 2010 – DTRA subordinate units • Deployable teams considered “subordinate units” with their own METL – Structure will be built within DRRS • Possibility now exists for deployable teams to build their own JTP within JTIMS – We are exploring this concept

  7. Summary • Internal Exercise Program • Stable schedule – crawl, walk, run approach • White Cell Development • Very challenging – requires outreach and budget • AMETL Development • Subordinate units introduced – separate JTPs possible
