4. DOD Participation Challenges in the National Exercise Program Issue 08-003: DOD Participation Challenges in the National Exercise Program (NEP) Discussion: Combatant command NEP participation challenges: Combatant command objectives below the strategic level often can’t be met or are compromised (in Tier I, CJCS will provide his objectives and the recommended level of combatant command play); New administration transition - uncertainty WRT to HSC/NSC structure and the role of an HSC E&E Sub-PCC vice the NSC TEEE Sub-PCC in the future No formal DoD process for combatant commands to nominate command exercises for the 5-year NEP exercise schedule (To be published in a revised CJCSI). JS will provide combatant commands results of sub-PCC meetings (66% grade). b. 5-Year scheduling challenges in the NEP: No fidelity in future years for Tier I, II, or III exercises; info on state(s) and dates; prohibits future planning for required funding, resources and forces (Feb 3, 2009 NEX scheduling conference provided Tier I, II calendar for the next two years, but lack specific dates) (Request made to DHS for schedule fidelity. Request was favorably received and NLE exercise and planning dates through 2010 have been established) Endstate: Improved joint training effectiveness and efficiency as directed by Chairman’s Joint Training Guidance. Supported / supporting roles IAW Plans / UCP. Staffs build relationships, conduct realistic rehearsal with actual counterparts. POA&M: - Use WJTSC, deconfliction and combatant command annual exercise conferences to link multiple exercises, taking advantage of NEP to link exercises / integrate mission areas to ensure regional / mission area coverage (Formal DOD exercise calendar input will be outlined in the revised CSEP CJCSI) - Formal process for DoD submissions to NEP has briefed but not captured in a CJCSI. However, still need more fidelity on future years exercises regarding dates and themes. - Support DHS/FEMA/NED efforts and use of the National Exercise Simulation Center (NESC) (located at FEMA HQ) to provide national level interagency exercise support and exercise control capabilities. JFCOM/JWFC provide technical support and provide permanent JTENS / SIPRNET connectivity for the long term integration with DOD exercises.

5. Use of Joint Live Virtual Constructive (JLVC) Federation Issue 07-014: The Joint Live Virtual Constructive (JLVC) Federation provides the most realistic environment to align joint training with combatant commander assigned missions, requirements and constraints. The JLVC federation is comprised of both Joint and Service simulations and tools. Discussion: Current funding provides Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) as the standard suite to support the Combatant Command Joint Exercise Program (JEP), however, JTLS lacks the capability to model high fidelity strategic to tactical operations. This training shortfall was noted in the Joint Staff’s Training Capabilities Analysis of Alternatives (TC AoA) Gaps 1-22. JLVC addresses these gaps. Using the JLVC federation is an option contingent upon additional Combatant Commander funding for event integration (CE2) as well as additional USJFCOM Training Transformation (T2) funding for JLVC development. Recent cuts to T2 RDT&E need to be addressed to provide sustained integration and development funding streams. Endstate: Tailored / packaged use of JLVC in combatant command exercises to meet specific training objectives. Single standardized JLVC federation. POA&M: Combatant Commands provide details on which exercise(s) are most enhanced with the use of JLVC. CE2 SLT allocates funding for JWFC support (including JLVC) in accordance with CE2 business rules/processes. CE2 addresses only JLVC integration/support for combatant command events but not development of JLVC technical enhancements in demand by combatant command stakeholders. USJFCOM efforts to reduce JLVC costs. Investigate JLVC cross-domain solutions. OPRs:JS J7 JETD, USJFCOM;OCRs: Combatant Commands SEP 07 MAR 08 APR 08 NOV 07 SEP 08 NOV 08 MAR 09 TBD JLVC requirements discussed at WJTSC working groups USTRANSCOM FY09/10 CE2 PRD emphasizes requirement.

6. Missile Warning / Defense Systems Training Capability Issue 07-017:Combatant Commanders require a distributed, integrated, synthetic Missile Warning (MW) and Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) training and exercise modeling and simulation (M&S) capability that stimulates real world systems that is dynamic, portable, scalable and affordable. Discussion: a. Current capability requires duplicative, static, scenario development and does not provide synergistic training capability. b. There is a requirement for a federated joint missile simulation capability which will stimulate all applicable operational missile awareness systems simultaneously to meet all stakeholders missile warning and integrated air and missile defense simulation requirements. Endstate: A federated Joint missile simulation capability which will stimulate all applicable operational missile awareness systems to meet all stakeholders missile warning and integrated air and missile defense simulation requirements. POA&M: SHORT TERM: Develop a federated missile simulation capability that will stimulate operational missile awareness systems for the entire missile mission set to include missile warning, missile defense, and IAMD. Pursue an interim solution for a dynamic missile warning M&S capability and have integrated capability in place in the next 9 months for training tiers 1 & 2. LONG TERM: Integrate/federate M&S capabilities from tiers 1-5 into a complete end to end MW / IAMD M&S capability 3-5 years OPRs: USSTRATCOM/NORAD-USNORTHCOM OCRs: MDA, Combatant Commands and Services MAR 08 APR 08 AUG 08 SEP 08 FEB 09 TBD TBD 09 Tier 1 and 2 capability 6 End to end capability Embedded test demo USSTRATCOM provide update at WJTSC 08-1 ITWG meets @CO Springs Update at WJTSC 08-2 ITWG meets @ CO Springs

7. Experimentation & Testing (E&T) in Joint Training Issue 04-003: Lack of common DoD-wide process for incorporation of E&T into joint training. Discussion: DOT&E engages multiple combatant command’s to search for venues. Short-notice insertions disruptive to exercise planning. OSD seeking to more effectively enable test activity with joint context and reduce possible impact to training audience. USJFCOM requires training environment to assess capabilities such as DJC2, SJFHQ. Joint context and resource limitations require test and prototyping activity in training. USJFCOM developed a manual for integrating E&T into USJFCOM sponsored and supported training. Endstate: Common policy and supporting tools for incorporating E&T activity in training. Emphasis placed on the E&T community to participate at the early stages of the JELC (ie CDC/IPC). They need to articulate what their capabilities are & how it could benefit the combatant command. POA&M: OSD(P&R) developing a DoD publication to fill this void. OPRs: OSD (P&R) and USJFCOM J7; OCRs: OSD (DOT&E, AT&L), JS J7 JETCD, JS J7 JETD, USJFCOM J9, Combatant Commands, CSAs, Services SEP 08 TBD FY09 OSD update at WJTSC 08-2; Cease efforts on CJCSM Draft and staff new DODI New DODI published 7

8. National Transition Training Plan Issue 08- 011: The National Exercise Program (NEP) establishes a “Transition Training Program” which implements key elements in the Federal Interagency Heightened Alert Concept Plan associated with a Period of Heightened Alert (POHA) Discussion:The Transition Training Program is a quadrennial Presidential election year cycle of NEP events designed to introduce new and transitioning Principals of departments and agencies and other key officials to existing policies, plans, and capabilities, as well as possible to identify potential shortfalls, based on strategic estimates of threat and risk. It is a series of briefings, seminars and exercises for transitioning senior officials on USG policies plans and capabilities for incident management and crisis coordination. One goal of the Transition Training Program is to motivate intense, early interaction between principals of departments and agencies and their emergency program staffs (i.e. Ops Centers) that provide them support within their organizations. The Federal Interagency POHA Concept Plan is in final coordination and represents a Federal Strategic Plan for maintaining operational continuity during the upcoming 2008-2009 Transition period. The NEP Transition Training Program supports this Concept Plan. No additional funding requirements are expected other than those associated with CEP/JEP exercises The CEP Positive Response is linked to NLE 09 Endstate: The culmination of the NEP Transition Training Program is a capstone NEP Tier I Exercise in (27-31) July 2009 which will serve as an immersive experience for the senior officials. This is National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) (formerly known as TOPOFF). The central focus of the exercise is PREVENTION but expect COCOMs to provide significant input to SECDEF, CJCS on simulated actions, plans, options, legalities with respect to both DSCA, Homeland Defense, and overseas government AT/FP. An expected outcome of the program is senior-level questioning of both internal and interagency processes. The July CPX will be preceded by a Principals Level Exercise (PLE) on 17 Jun 09. N-NC will also provide training support to other departments via DSCA courses and TTX’s during March-August 2009. POA&M: As outlined below. OPRs: DHS-FEMA-National Exercise Division; Federal Departments & Agencies; JS/J7 MAR 09 JUL 09 JAN 09 JUN 09 AUG 09 APR 09 Inauguration & New Administration Nominations Principal Level Exercise 3-09 (NLE 09 Precursor) Principal Level Exercise 2-09 (Hurricane) NLE After Action Conf POHA Ends NLE 09 Execution (27-31) Discuss at WJTSC 09-1

9. Deconfliction of Combatant Command Exercises Issue 08-014: Scheduling resources to support combatant command events is challenging given daily OPSTEMPO, personnel, fiscal, and time constraints and multiple events executing during the same period. Need overall deconfliction resolution process for Combatant Command Exercises. Discussion: Limited service resources (forces, equipment, exercise support) preclude the ability to support competing combatant command exercises requiring USAF resources. Authority has been given to USJFCOM to synchronize/deconflict combatant command exercises. However, de-confliction issues remain and scheduled de-confliction conferences have been focused more on Service rather than combatant command exercises. Without a refocused deconfliction resolution process, the Services will be forced to prioritize/reduce their support for competing combatant command exercises. Current exercise forecast have scheduled major combatant command exercises (Talisman Saber, Ardent Sentry, Austere Challenge, etc.) back to back or overlapping, limiting the service’s ability to support. In the future, exercises must be more evenly distributed across the fiscal year, or Service support must be scaled back or possibly cancelled. Endstate: Robust resolution process run by USJFCOM involving all stakeholders that effectively de-conflicts combatant command exercises (recommend at least one working group at each WJTSC). Conflicting resolution issues to be resolved by the CE2 SLT at each WJTSC. POA&M: USJFCOM re-energize/refocus their exercise scheduling conferences with stakeholder representation (combatant commands, Services). OPRs: CE2 SLT OCRs: USJFCOM, Services JAN/FEB 09 AUG 08 SEP 08 MAR 09 DEC 08 Presented at CE2 SLT for review CE2 SLT discuss and provide recommendation.

12. CCDR Joint Evaluation Team • Issue 07-015: Combatant Commander desires a joint evaluation team that can measure Joint Task Force (JTF) performance to standard • Discussion: • Combatant Commanders (CCDRs) are responsible for certifying the readiness of HQ staffs to serve as JTF-capable HQ. A key element of this task is to measure the capability of the HQ staff (during a culminating exercise) relative to standards. The culminating exercise comes at the conclusion of a detailed joint and multinational training regimen for the JTF. • USPACOM requires a qualified team to observe and evaluate to standard, provide feedback both to the JTF Commander and CCDR, and to provide documentation on JTF performance to assist individual JTF and theater program improvements. • Joint Training System (JTS) philosophy and execution have matured to where training audiences need critical insight and clearly documented feedback of what they did right and what areas require improvement. • USJFCOM JWFC DTT states these requirements are outside their charter. • Endstate:Qualified joint evaluation team available to assist in JTF Certification. • POA&M: • Develop USJFCOM Joint Enabling Capability Command ability to support formation of JTF • Provide CCDRs with the resources to establish and maintain this evaluation capability within theater. • OPR:USPACOM; OCR:USJFCOM SEP 07 SEP 08 SEP 08 MAR 09 CE2 SLT discussed requirement CE2 SLT discussed requirement CE2 SLT Provide feedback on support for this concept Develop options, discuss at CE2 SLT meeting, determine way ahead 12

13. Joint Training EnterpriseRDT&E Cuts Issue08-013: The Joint Training Enterprise must cut $11.8M from specific FY08 programs to meet approved POM 10 funding levels. Discussion: The directed 31% cut in RDTE ($11.8M) from FY08 to FY10 will have a major impact on the Joint Training Enterprise: Increased costs to Services and combatant commands to execute training; Reduction in critical capability to support Irregular Warfare research and development; and, Reduction in training capability. Endstate: Training risk to the Force minimized, no mission essential tasks eliminated, schedule flexibility optimized, and cost/benefit to the Joint Training Enterprise evaluated. POA&M: USJFCOM identify targeted cuts.Combatant Commands evaluate impact and develop contingency plans, as required. Status: Following discussion at WJTSC 08-2, USJFCOM will reconsider proposed targeted cuts to minimize impacts to the Joint Training Enterprise and vet new proposal with stakeholders. OPRs:OSD, USJFCOM;OCRs: Combatant Commands 15/16 APR 08 24 APR 08 28 APR 08 OCT-NOV 08 22 JAN 09 5 JUN 08 SEP 08 MAR 09 Revised targeted cut strategy Solicit COCOM/ Service feedback On programs Briefed WWJTSC on JFCOM Proposed Cuts Solicited RDTE Investment Priorities from Services & COCOMs RDTE Cut Decision Brief to MG Kamiya, J7 USJFCOM RDTE Budget Cut Impact Brief to WJTSC 09-1 JWFC Cdr Approval RDTE Budget Cuts Finalized 13

14. GEF-Driven Analysis of CE2 Requirements Issue 08-015: GEF-Driven (CCDR Theater Campaign Plan) Analysis of CE2 Funding Requirements Discussion: The "buying power" of CE2T2 POM funding is eroding based on prevailing economic trends for the costs of fuel, directly influencing strategic lift (air, sea, surface) and commercial ticketing. With OSD guidance to stay within CE2T2 and not seek additional resources, the POM forecast presents a relatively "flat" picture considering the stand-up of USAFRICOM only provided an additional $4.5M/year to CE2 (combatant command HQ support). Guided by the GEF, CCDRs must determine what is the baseline level of performance against their Theater Campaign/Engagement Plans as reflected in their Joint Training Plans and overall exercise and training programs. CE2T2 funds are allocated based on historical funding rates, versus a bottom-up review of baseline requirements. Under zero-growth, stakeholders are reluctant to prioritize their requirements across the enterprise (all stakeholders), as any increase will result in another command's decrease. Endstate: Enterprise bottom-up review of combatant command baseline requirements for JETP, SIF, combatant command HQ Support, JWFC Support, and JTF/FC HQ Certification, resulting in a more accurate assessment of CCDRs' ability to execute their programs. Results of analysis could be used to rebalance CE2 allocations in accordance with the GEF. POA&M: CE2 SLT conduct baseline review and develop recommendations to the T2 SAG.

15. Issue 08-018: Coordination and synchronization of JTEN services and LVC training enhancements for exercises conducted by ABCA partner nations and combatant commands/Services. Discussion:  JTEN currently has temporary connections to like networks in Australia and the United Kingdom, with a connection to Canada on the horizon. No formal procedure exists for scheduling the use of the JTEN by ABCA partners or combatant commands/Services for the scheduling and provisioning of distributed training assets (i.e. Virtual and Constructive training enablers). Endstate: Development of a formal coordination process, business rules and/or other documents as necessary for ABCA partners and combatant commands/Services that outlines the process for scheduling and coordinating JTEN utilization and LVC training enhancements for ABCA/combatant commands/Services pre-deployment training for OIF/OEF. POA&M: JWFC to be given the lead for: Development of a catalog of available ABCA virtual and constructive training capabilities Establishment of a scheduling process for the JTEN and V&C assets Develop business rules formalizing this process OPR: USJFCOM OCRs: PJHQ J7, HQJOC J7, and CFD/CFEC.

16. Continued Implementation of JTSS Program for the Combat Support Agencies Issue 08-019:Continued implementation of JTSS Program for the Combat Support Agencies Discussion: The Joint Training System Specialist (JTSS) program is vital to Combat Support Agency (CSA) implementation and sustainment of the Joint Training System (JTS) in support of the combatant commands. Agencies with a JTSS have achieved greater success in accomplishing JTS requirements; i.e. AMETL, ATP, and Exercise integration. While the CSAs continue to make notable investments to comply with JTS program requirements, these resources are limited. On-site JTSS fielding is a force multiplier and a vital element in sustaining CSA participation in the JTS program. Currently, there are two CSAs (NSA and DISA) who do not have a JTSS. Endstate: Complete the implementation of JTSS to NSA and DISA. Ensure continued JTSS fielding to each CSA. POA&M: TBD, pending results of the Blue Ribbon study and CE2T2 programmatic decisions. OPR: Joint Staff J7 OCRs: CSAs NOV 08 MAR 09 Blue Ribbon Panel results released Discuss requirement during CE2 SLT meeting at WJTSC 09-1

17. Joint Individual and Staff Training • Small Group Scenario Trainer (SGST) • JC2 Training Management • Joint Staff Officer Course 17

18. Issue 06-021: Requirement for Large Scale Use of Online and On Demand Individual and Group Training, Mission Planning and Rehearsal Capabilities. Discussion: SGST meets this shortfall by providing a training, and mission rehearsal capability that supports both DOD and Interagency partners in meeting our national security requirements. SGST is a flexible, on-line, and distributed training and mission rehearsal capability that covers the training life cycle from beginning to end. USJFCOM and USNORTHCOM conducted tests showing SGST can significantly shorten the JELC while improving knowledge / capability. USNORTHCOM and USJFCOM are collaborating on the development of SGST Version 1. This SGST system evolution facilitates Joint and Interagency training, mission planning, rehearsal, and COA analysis. Endstate: SGST established as a Joint Program of Record (POR) to achieve unity of effort in individual/small group training across combatant commands, Services, Combat Support Agencies and Interagency partners. JKDDC leverages training transformation funds to provide a centrally managed / decentralized and interdependent executed SGST capability, in which SGST may be configured by the combatant commands to meet their training needs. This approach enables content sharing across organizational boundaries and rapidly supports and optimizes evolving changes to organizational structures, people, processes and technologies. JKDDC JMO takes responsibility for the JKO web enabled SGST capability, providing integration with the JKO Portal to provide a generalized small group training capability. POA&M: OSD contract ends Jun 08. JKDDC JMO accepted responsibility for the JKO web enabled SGST capability in Feb 08. Leveraging TC AoA Alt #5 funding, webify SGST focusing on USNORTHCOM’s training requirements.

19. Joint Command and Control (JC2) Training Management Issue 08-005: Effective and efficient Combatant Commander, Joint Task Force, and Component staff individual functional and operational training. No joint organization assigned responsibility for managing Net-enabled Command Capability (NECC) training provided by NECC material developers beyond initial fielding of new capabilities. Related issue: 06-001, Joint Staff Officer Training. Discussion: Transition from GCCS-J and Family of Systems to NECC offers opportunity for effective and efficient training delivery to individual warfighters worldwide and enforcement of a joint standards-based foundation to service and joint school house curricula. NECC provides a single, joint architecture to establish a common environment for warfighters at all levels of C2 in which both systems and functional training curricula can be re-used and tailored to JS/CC/S/A needs. NECC material developers will provide appropriate, SCORM-conformant individual functional training packages for each NECC capability module produced. Current GCCS-J Single Service Training Manager model doesn’t provide authority and resources to ensure NECC-related training packages are effective, standardized, entered into extant joint curricula, and distributed to Services and Agencies for re-use. Endstate: A joint command and control training management organization with the necessary authority and resources codified by a CJCSI, in-place and functioning. POA&M: Standup a stakeholders’ forum to research and assess need, responsibility, authorities, and resourcing. Provide a POA&M. Revise CJCSI 6721.02B for staffing (OPR shift from JS J6 to JS J3, CJCSI 3265.02 will supersede 6721.02B).

20. Joint Staff Officer Proficiency Issue 08-017: The ramp up time to achieve desired proficiency for officers reporting for joint assignment at combatant commands is too long. Discussion: The results of the Joint Staff Officer Study included the desired 15 core competencies for Joint Staff Officers identified by combatant command senior leadership. Lack of competency in identified areas were found to result in extended ramp up time for officers to achieve desired proficiency levels in joint staff officer tasks. Combatant commands expressed interest in the Joint Staff J7 leading the development of a Joint Staff Officer Course as a baseline training course to close the identified proficiency gap. Endstate: CJCS policy and supporting program of instruction that leads to the reduction in time for officers to become proficient in joint staff officer duties. POA&M: Complete formal staffing of the Joint Staff Officer Study. Joint Staff J7 indentify existing resources and content to develop program of instruction addressing the 15 core competencies identified in the Joint Staff Officer Study. Joint Staff J7 in coordination with combatant commands develops joint staff officer training course. Combatant commands staff and assess draft course and provide input to JS J7. JS J7 modifies draft course as required and combatant commands implement Joint Staff Officer Course in orientation/training programs.

21. Joint Training Assessment and Readiness • Monthly Training Assessment Update Requirement • Joint Training Trends and Assessment • Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS) 21

22. Monthly Training Assessment Update Requirement Issue 07-019: Inconsistent updates of training assessments in the Joint Training Information Management System (JTIMS) Discussion: JTIMS is an integral part of a larger system, including DRRS, that will identify readiness deficiencies and help develop solutions. Yet JTIMS data update requirements do not support timely identification of deficiencies and issues. “Joint training readiness” has been identified as a priority issue by T2 leadership, and use of JTIMS is being reviewed as part of the 2007 T2 Block Assessment. Policy (JTM) states the commander’s assessment will be published as part of the annual JTP. A recent review indicated that 60% of combatant command JMET assessments are not published in JTIMS. Policy also states it is critical to have a linkage between Joint readiness and training. Part of the T2 Block Assessment is examining the linkage between DRRS and JTIMS. DRRS requires assessments every 30 days; whereas JTIMS doesn’t have the same rigor. Therefore it appears there is a disconnect between training and overall readiness assessments. The linkage that will send TPAs and MTAs from JTIMS to DRRS is the technical part of the solution. WJTSC 08-2 Update: JTIMS currently provides the capabilities to enter and approve assessments. DRRS currently displays TPAs and will, in the future, display MTAs. CJCSI 3500.01E, Joint Training Policy and Guidance, updated 31 May 08 to include the requirement to provide monthly Task Proficiency Assessments (TPAs). Endstate: JTIMS assessments will be synchronized with DRRS requirements to provide a reliable, timely, and consistent element of the system. POA&M: JTIMS v3.1 (March 09) will include the capability to assess each task individually. Recommend retaining this Issue until WJTSC 09-1 when users can validate v3.1 capabilities. Monitor compliance with monthly assessment requirement by Combatant Commands. OPR: Joint Staff J7 JETD; OCR: OSD (Readiness and Training) / RTPP MAY 08 SEP 08 MAR 09 OCT 08 - FEB 09 NOV 07 Monitor compliance with policy JTIMS V3.1 release; Update at WJTSC 09-1 JS/J-7 provided proposed policy update to JTIMS UAG for review JTP&G Updated Briefed future JTIMS v3.1 capabilities

23. Joint Training Trends and Assessment Issue 06-007:Consensus has not been achieved in the joint training community regarding how joint training trends and joint training assessment taskers will be achieved. Discussion:. The JTP&G (CJCSI 3500.01C) stated “USJFCOM is responsible for annually assessing the effectiveness of joint training, to include describing emerging training trends in the joint community; briefing training trends at the September WJTSC; and reporting results of the training assessment to the Chairman.” Combatant Commands / CSAs will annually provide USJFCOM with their joint training trends by 30 June for integration into USJFCOM’s annual training trends brief presented at the September WJTSC. CJCSI 3500.01D was updated to state JS J7 will develop annual assessment of Joint Training to brief trends at the WJTSC. CJCSI 3500.01E was updated to specify monthly TPA reporting requirement. Endstate: Joint training trends are identified and briefed annually. POA&M: JTIMS v2.4 currently provides Training Trends Reporting Capabilities and this requirement will be analyzed and reviewed for additional enhancements semi-annually. JS J-7 briefed first Trend Analysis reports during WJTSC 08-2. JTIMS v3.1 (March 09) will provide additional filters to select the assessment timeframe (rather than by FY only), as well as the monthly individual task training proficiency assessments to provide additional fidelity. Next trend analysis will use JTIMS capability and be briefed at WJTSC 09-2. OPR: JS J-7 JETD SEP 09 SEP 08 MAR 09 APR – AUG 09 Trend data collected and analyzed after JTIMS v3.1 release Select FY 08 trends binned to Working Groups and addressed during WJTSC 09-1 Trends briefed at WJTSC 09-2; issues linked to JLLIS/CAP/etc First trend brief at WJTSC 08-2 23

24. Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS) Issue 06-010: TheJoint community lacks a single automated support system to discover, apply, share and research joint lessons. Discussion: The DoD Lessons Learned Community lacks a repository capability as well as the input support tools vital to effective knowledge management. POM’d for FY09-FY13: FY09 funding insufficient for full scale development; UFR requested. CJCSI 3150.25D, 10 Oct 08; Joint Lessons Learned Program Policy and Guidance released. Foreign Disclosure policy is unclear and lacks standardized implementation across DoD. Establishing process to allow FOUR-EYES personnel sponsored by DOD organizations to gain access to JLLIS. JLLIS achieved IOC in Sep 08. The following have the JLLIS: Combatant commands; Services (not USCG); the NGB; most of the CSAs; the DOS, USAID and USDA. Endstate: Enterprise, web based, Global Information Grid (GIG) compliant JLLIS with input and management tool, and a federated/distributed database for all JLLIS stakeholders.

26. Integration of Interagency Partners Issue 07-001: Inadequate unified action partner representation/environmental emulation in Combatant Command and Service training, education, exercises, and experimentation (TEEE) degrades the quality of these events. Discussion: DoD recognizes the value of role players, senior mentors, and/or simulation cells to provide authoritative and realistic interagency input and support to DoD TEEE events. Other agencies often cannot afford the level of seniority/experience and commitment that DoD desires for event design, execution, and assessment. Endstate: DOD events are conducted in a whole of government context and a realistic environment that accurately reflects the complexity of integrated planning and operations. POA&M: To enhance TEEE:1.OSD/P&R develops a strategy and process for resourcing, prioritizing, requesting, and scheduling interagency integration into Combatant Command and Service TEEE at the front end of the planning cycle. 2. Analyze mitigation to gaps in DOD IA process, including consideration of a simcell-like capability. 3. OSD P&R implement mechanisms to source vetted and validated agency personnel or contractors for DOD TEEE.4. Explore expansion of solutions for IA support to the larger integrated operations requirement.
