1. Training CommunityModeling and Simulation (M&S)Overview Fred Hartman, OSD-P&R Defense Modeling and Simulation Conference 9 May 2007

2. Acquisition AT&L Analysis PA&E & JS Planning JS & Policy Testing DOT&E & AT&L Training P&R A New Approach for Managing DoD Modeling and Simulation (M&S) New M&S Management Structure Organized by Communities. Designed to Support & Integrate M&S Activities across the Department. Led by a 1 to 2 Star M&S Steering Committee (M&S SC) to provide governance. Experimentation JFCOM Common and Cross-Cutting M&S Tools Common and Cross-Cutting M&S Data M&S Practices Common and Cross-Cutting M&S Services (SE FORUM) (JADM) (AP EXCOM) (T2 ESG) (JCDE EC) Components OSD, Joint Staff, COCOMs, Services Goal: Establish corporate M&S management to address DoD goals: Leads/guides/shepherds the $Bs in DoD M&S investments; adds value thru metrics & ROI-driven priorities; and seeks to provide transparency.

4. Key Training Areas for Collaborative Enhancement • Common Data • Prepare tagging and formatting for now and the future • Rapid scenario generation and mission rehearsals • Common Infrastructure • Persistent, reusable LVC distributed environment • Common synthetic environments • Common distributed simulation software • Other Common Interests in DoD • Verification Validation & Accreditation • Architectures • Standards

5. Training’s M&S Challenges “You don’t end training when you are in a combat zone!” • Interface with, and train on, real world C4ISR systems • Train on multi-level, secure environments • Standardize interfaces for systems to access realistic LVC environment • Generate scenarios rapidly for mission rehearsals and joint training • Integrate training across interagency, inter-governmental, and Total Force LTG Yakovac, MilDep to ASA(ALT) Dec 2005 I/ITSEC

6. Relevant Community Activities • Strategic Plan for Transforming DOD Training [May 2006] • T2 Implementation Plan [3rdversion Feb 2006] • Joint Training Functional Capabilities Board • Tri-chairs: P&R, JS-J7, JFCOM/J7 • Current initiatives of interest: JSRG, LVC-TE, JTRAP • Training Community of Interest (DoDD 8320.2)

9. Training Transformation (T2) Vision and Capabilities “Training transformation’s vision is to provide dynamic, capabilities-based training for the Department of Defense in support of national security requirements across the full range of integrated operations.” Strategic Plan, 2006 Build Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) Training Environment Joint National Training Capability Establish Performance Assessment Architecture Joint Assessment & Enabling Capability Establish the Global Knowledge Network Joint Knowledge Development & Distribution Capability

10. T2 Resource Management

11. Training Capabilities (TC) Analysis of Alternatives (AoA)Findings & Observations • Management and oversight more than technology have caused failures of previous joint training simulation efforts. • Current joint training has been largely based on training exercises supported by simulations • Not all training issues are cost effective for large scale simulation applications • Combatant Commanders (COCOM) not directly funded to conduct Standing Joint Force Headquarters (SJFHQ) (Core Element) and COCOM/JTF HQ & Staff training • Intelligence must be part of training audience versus training aid

12. Joint Training Capability Gaps

13. TC AoA Recommendations • Improve Management Process • Improve large-scale Simulations • Re-engineer Joint Training • Conduct a Training Acquisition Prototype • Include Intelligence as a full partner in future joint training

14. Joint Training System Requirements Plans • Derived From National Military Strategy and Assigned Missions • Driven by Training Requirements, Training Audience and Tools Based on Commander’s Intent & Joint Doctrine/JTTP Creates Joint Training Plan And Establishes Objectives To Meet Requirements Stated in Terms Of Joint Mission Essential Tasks; Conditions; and Joint Standards Guidance Provided and Schedules Deconflicted by the CJCS & JFCOM IMPROVE JOINT FORCE READINESS Assessments Execution • Commander Assesses: • Training Effectiveness • Joint Readiness • Joint Training Conducted by CJCS & Combatant Commands Commanders Evaluate Each Event USJFCOM JMETL addresses both Joint/Interoperability and JTF HQ tasks Identify Ability to Meet Joint Standards: Strengths/Deficiencies in Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership & Education, People, and Facilities

15. LVC Joint Training Environment(Moving to Network Centric Operations) • Live Simulation: A simulation with real people operating real systems. • Virtual Simulation: A simulation with realpeople operating simulated systems. Virtual simulations provide the opportunity to exercise motor control skills, decision skills, and communication skills. • Constructive Simulation:Models and simulations that involve simulated people operating simulated systems. Real people stimulate (make inputs) to such simulations, but are not involved in determining the outcomes.
