  1. Panel Discussion Lessons Learned from Operation Iraqi Freedom 0800 – 0900 12 May 2004

  2. OIF Lessons Learned Panel Members

  3. OIF Panel Format • Moderator – Open: Set the objectives — approach Top level questions • Panel members: 5-10 minute comments — observations Each panel member • Panel dialogue: Exchange and dialogue among panel Moderator facilitate • Written questions: Submitted from the attendees • Open questions: From attendees • Closing comments: From panel members

  4. Objectives • Capture “lessons learned” influence on Small Arms weapon/armaments and related systems • Operations • System integration • Subsystems • Technology • Supportability • Readiness • Identify what was positive and what changes are needed • Identify technology, system integration, and supportability drivers from lessons learned • Priority guidelines/objectives for • DoD laboratories/acquisitions • Industry

  5. OIF “Lessons Learned” Panel • 1. What went well? • 2. What were limitations? • 3. What were issues – problems? • 4. Was the armament community (DoD and industry) effective and responsive? • 5. Response and result of rapid response — needs — new items — mods — quantity — schedule • 6. What are the top take-away messages to: • – Address specifically • – Carry forward • 7. Actions to DoD developers and acquisition • 8. Actions to industry

  6. Service Unique Observations • Army • SOF • Navy • Air Force • Marines • Impact/Benefits of Joint Operations — JROC Process • Weapon/armament • Requirements • Commonality • Availability • Supportability Lessons learned unique to each service Capability Based Force How Did OIF Shape Future Joint Operations?

  7. OIF Discussion Topics • Readiness – response – availability • Future force impact • Systems • Capability • Quantity • Training • JROC process — What is impact? • Capability based force impact • DoD lab resources response • Industry response National Center impact?

  8. Lessons Learned: OIF • Weapons/armaments positive observations/capabilities • What went well? • Weapons • Ammunition • Electro-optical and fire control • Communications • Mounts • Small Arms capability • Lethality • Range • Type of warhead • Impact of precision weapons/armaments/munition? • How can we build on experience?

  9. OIF “Lessons Learned” Panel • What weapon/armament capability was not available? • Ammunition resources • Were weapons/armaments limited by system integration factor? • Acquisition • Fire control • Targeting information • Communication • Was weapon/armament capability mix adequate for • Operations • Asymmetric threats • Urban environments • What should change — when — how?

  10. OIF “Lessons Learned” Panel • Was weapon/armament training matched to operational scenarios? • Were weapons/armaments/munition available and supportable? • Production base responsiveness • Maintenance • Spares • Logistics • Is Small Arms community impacted by capability based force? • How will “lessons learned” – system/ammo usage impact acquisition?

  11. OIF “Lessons Learned” Panel • What weapon/armament/ammunition capability was desired but not available? • What specific technologies are needed? • Weapons • Ammunition • Electro-optics/fire controls • Networked fires • What system integration changes are priority? • New platforms • Robotics • Network fires • Impact of joint operations • How does jointness impact Small Arms? • What is needed to support jointness? • JROC process

  12. OIF Lesson Learned “Bottom Line” • Capture and use of “lessons learned” is critical to • Current force readiness • Future force definition and implementation • Joint operational capability will evolve from “lessons learned” — JROC? • Priority needs • Key characteristics identify • Additional will be added • Capability based force — acquisition plans/need — future Open Architecture and Spiral Development Enable “Lessons Learned” Responsiveness
