Provide dynamic, capabilities-based training for the Department of Defense in support of national security requirements across the full spectrum of service, joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational operations.

Training Transformation Background To achieve training system transparency in joint force operations, the Deputy Secretary of Defense established the following training transformation objectives to better enable joint operations: • Strengthen joint operations by better preparing forces for new warfighting concepts • Continuously improve joint force readiness by aligning joint education and training capabilities and resources with combatant command needs • Develop individuals and organizations that intuitively think jointly • Develop individuals and organizations that improvise and adapt to emerging crises • Achieve unity of effort from a diversity of means Source: 2004 DoD Training Transformation Implementation Plan (Section 1.0)

JAEC Tenets • To achieve Training Transformation objectives leading ultimately to training system transparency in joint force operations1, then we must understand the ways and means necessary to reach this future state. • JAEC provides the analytic rigor to understand, assess, measure and report training system performance and progress toward achieving transparency in joint force operations. • JAEC assessments will include analyses across the joint training continuum to help determine optimal means of joint capability sourcing, delivery and improvement feedback. • To properly conduct assessments, we must be able to determine measures of merit. • measures of effectiveness, • measures of performance. 1) Refer to 2004 DoD Training Transformation Implementation Plan (Section 1.0)

Setting Measurable Outcomes for T2 • Focused on COCOM needs • All Forces Joint Educated and Trained • New Joint Operation Capabilities • Dynamic Mission Planning and Rehearsal • Continuous Readiness Improvements Ref: 2004 DoD Training Transformation Implementation Plan (Section 1.0) The Secretary has a saying “you can only manage what you can measure,” and that’s what JAEC is all about. Trying to systematically assess, adapt, be able to revise and understand what these other capabilities are bringing to bear. The department has made a tremendous investment of resources, both dollars and people, and we want to know, does it make a difference. Dr. Paul Mayberry, DUSD (Readiness)

Training Transformation Balanced Scorecard Concept • Training Value Assessment • Level 1 • Initial Measures • Quantity • Quality • Responsiveness Through the T2 Strategic Plan and Goals and Implementation Plan tied to the TPG and Strategic Performance Assessment • COCOM Satisfaction • Initial Measures • Customer satisfaction • Training Integration Assessment • Level 2 • Initial Measures • Policy integration • Process integration • Information integration • Transformation Vector Assessment • Level 3 • Initial Measures • COCOM Alignment • OFT Alignment • Services Alignment “The Balanced Scorecard for Risk Management is a central element of the Defense Strategy. It gives DoD leaders a disciplined way of measuring near and mid-term defense outputs, in critical areas, against longer-term strategic Defense goals.” Dr. David Chu, USD(P&R) The T2 Balanced Scorecard

Transforming the Joint Education & Training Enterprise Information Age Model of Education and Training COCOM’s (Customers) Military Service (Suppliers) Constraints Can Limit Achievement of Goals JKDDC • Driven by the Deliberate Planning Cycle • MPETE requirements poorly understood • Difficulty aligning supply with demand • Relatively low throughput efficiency Use Metrics to align T2 Capabilities JAEC JNTC Military Service (Suppliers) Industrial Age Model of Education and Training COCOM’s (Customers) Throughput:Efficiency achieved by distributing production of Jointness across DoD Innovation:Continuous process / readiness improvements = adaptable, agile, and lethal Transparency:Convergence of education, training, mission planning and rehearsal Harmonizing MPETE flow around system capacity Source: 2004 DoD Training Transformation Implementation Plan (Section 1.0) MPETE: Manpower, Personnel, Education, Training & Experience

What’s ahead for the JAEC Analysis Support? ‘The Industrial Age brought about specialization of skills. The Information Age brings about specialization of the mind’ – Charles Williams • How might we apply Fourth-Generation Instructional System Design (ISD4) across the Education/Training continuum to deliver, more optimally, the right forces with the right skill & ‘mind’ mix at the right time to meet combatant commander needs ? • Given the current compliance-focused tenet of education and training measurement – ‘teach what you test and test what you teach’ – what other type measurement frameworks are available to assess performance (readiness) ? • How might we employ performance-based Standards and Conditions (versus compliance-based) across the Education/Training continuum to ensure quality results are delivered in sufficient quantity and when needed ? • How might we achieve ‘adaptive’ readiness – readiness beyond base requirements that serves to meet constantly evolving joint warfighting needs ?
