The Joint Training System & Individual/Staff Training

1. The Joint Training System & Individual/Staff Training Mr. Mike Barnum JS J-7 JCW

2. Purpose and Agenda • Purpose: Provide overview of how individual/staff training is, could, or should be, addressed in the Joint Training System (JTS) by phases, requirements, and system linkages using LMS, DRRS, JTIMS, and JLLIS. • Agenda: • End State • JTS Overview • JTS Timelines • CJCS 3500 Series

3. End State • Understand gaps, seams and touch points within the JTS when addressing Individual/Staff Training and target opportunities to influence change in CJCS 3500 series. • Identify opportunities to develop/refine/capture Individual/Staff Training: • Universal Joint Tasks • Mission Essential Task List (METL) • Joint Training Plan (JTP) • Training objectives • Training exercises • Task Proficiency Observations (TPO) Task Performance Evaluations (TPEs) • Task Proficiency Assessments (TPAs) • Mission Training Assessments (MTAs) • Readiness Assessments • Lessons Learned • AAR, FAAR, Hotwash inputs

4. JTS Process – Improve Readiness LMS

5. UJTL “The UJTL serves as a library of mission tasks in a common language and functions as a foundationfor planning, readiness reporting, joint training, and joint military operations across the range of military operations. The UJTL enables the retrieval of information related to accomplishment of a specific task, allowing users to review planning, training, readiness, and lessons learned.*” *CJCSI 3500.02, “Universal Joint task List Policy and Guidance for the Armed Forces of the United States.”

7. Combatant Command Mission to Readiness Individual Training tailored to support JMET (i.e. CoL, JOCSIM, etc.) Develop Individual Trng UJT ST 7.?.? Individual Training tied to JMETS LMS

8. UJTL What do they do? • 1) UJTL Tasks are the basis of Joint Mission Essential Tasks • Provides the basis determining training and readiness status • Building blocks of a Joint Training Plan and Individual Joint Training • Provides for inputs into joint readiness • UJTL Tasks are what we do! • Tasks also define what the individual should do! • 2) Allows you to track relationships to readiness, training status, assessment, lessons, etc. • Provides method of relating different systems • Provides linkage to Individual Training Courses

Percent Of personnel completed relevant pre-exercise online training (e.g., Continuum of eLearning) Capability courses Percent Of force that were distributed relevant Joint Operations Case Studies (JCOA) (Joint Ops 300 Case Studies, JFC Module) Percent Of force that were required to complete Joint Force training (e.g., Joint Force Command 100, JFC Module) Percent Of force that were distributed Joint Insights and Best Practices (e.g., JFC 200) Yes/No Was staff training considered?

12. Generic Sample Measures (continued) • Yes/No Was staff training considered? • Percent Of staff that completed Immersive Scenario-based JTF Training (e.g. JT Ops Center Scenario application) • Yes/No Was Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) considered prior to event design as a requirement for individual training? • Yes/No Was the Continuum of eLearning (Col) considered prior to event design as a requirement for individual training? • Yes/NoWere metrics provided withinContinuum of eLearning (CoL) assessed? • (Note: the above sample measures require revision to meet needs. All programs must be published/approved prior to adding measures)

13. Example: Modification to Existing Task ST 7.2.4 Assess Training and Education Effectiveness Description:To conduct an evaluation of education and training to measure the demonstrated performance of combatant commanders, components, individuals, leaders, and units against specified education and training standards. This task, conducted by the combatant commanders, includes after-action reviews, feedback, and organizational assessments and provides feedback for altering policy. (CJCSI 3500.01A, CJCSI 3500.02A, CJCSM 3500.03) Note/Background: This task may include consideration of individual training such as Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) Joint Fundamentals modules, based on joint doctrine (JFC 100 modules) and/or insights and best practices (JFC 200), and Staff training such as Immersive Trainer. The Continuum of eLearning (CoL), joint integrated online learning, is recommended as the baseline consideration for all individual and staff training. (Note: the above EXAMPLE of an addition to the note/background will require revision to meet needs if used. A note/background is part of the task description making the terms within searchable in DRRS & JTIMs
