Multi-National Initiatives: Lessons Learned and Beyond

1. Multi-National Initiatives:Lessons Learned and Beyond Mr. Alan Eckersley Joint Lessons Learned Policy Branch J-7, Joint Education and Doctrine Division

2. Agenda Purpose: To provide an overview of current and future initiatives regarding information sharing in the Chairman’s Joint Lesson Learned Program (JLLP) Overview of the JLLP: Roles and Responsibilities—Expanding venues Current: Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS) Five-Eyes (FVEY) On-going: Study examining the information sharing lifecycle with emphasis on Joint Staff policies for lessons learned sharing A Success Case Study: Navy’s SeaPort Future: Future Mission Network

3. The Chairman’s Joint Lessons Learned Program (JLLP) • DDJ7 S&P • Strategy and Policy: • Develops joint lessons learned policy and guidance • Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS) Program Manager • Administers the LL General Officer Steering Committee (LL GOSC) • Conducts validation, integration, and evaluation for joint lessons learned • DDJ7 JCW: • Joint and Coalition Operational Analysis (JCOA) • As directed, deploys world wide and collects, analyzes, aggregates, and disseminates joint lessons & best practices across the full spectrum of military operations in order to enhance joint capabilities • Provides active lessons and analytical support • Creates multi-media products to disseminate the results DJ7 DDJ7 STRATEGY AND POLICY DDJ7 JOINT AND COALITION WARFIGHTING

4. JLLIS FVEY • The Joint Staff J7 through collaboration with PACOM, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and ACGU partners established a service using the Improved Connectivity Initiative (ICI) that provides access to ACGU JLLIS to the “4-Eyes” nations. • JLLIS ACGU was deployed on the SIPRNET in August 2010 and expanded to include New Zealand in November 2010. • This environment mirrors the DOD JLLIS SIPR application and provides FVEY partners with the ability to capture and share observations, issues, best practices, and lessons learned.

5. JLLIS FVEY Environment • Support collection efforts during Joint/Combined operations and exercises • Facilitate information sharing between and across security boundaries • Enable real time collaboration between multi-national counterparts • Support multiple communities of interest (releasability constraints) • Current Number of Users: 182

6. JLLIS Information Sharing Study A six month study to examine four primary areas: Identify legal challenges in establishing a coalition version of JLLIS Identify the options for software sharing Identify the hardware/software licensing requirements Identify possible network structure Primary emphasis is on policies and procedures “Cookbook” POA&M approach allowing for step-by-step implementation

7. A Unique Approach: SeaPort • Born out of an operational need to centralize and share maritime information • Works across all domains except unclassified • “Coalition of the Willing”: • Each user is willing to share • information with all users • Foreign disclosure policies • are permissive rather than • restrictive • Release policies are continually updated to reflect changing coalition members and are tied directly to system architecture to ensure security People, Process and Technology Working Together

8. Future Mission Network (FMN) • FMN is neither "future" or a "network"; it is a framework for guiding the evolution / enhancement of current capabilities • Military Problem – “A command and control environment does not exist for operations on • a mission secret or unclassified security level for mission partner operations” • Operational Gap – “Unity of effort and "speed of command" for delivering mission partnered operational effects” • Leverage & build on Afghanistan Mission Network (AMN) experience • Initial Capabilities Document (lCD), Concept of Operations (CONOPS), Tactics Techniques & Procedures (TTPs), Governance & Policy produced • Key Core Capabilities: • Chat • Voice Over IP (VOIP) • E-mail • (with attachments) • Global Address List Sharing • Web Browsing • Video Tele-Conferencing (VTC) Removes constraints of conducting operations solely on SIPRNET

9. Way Ahead • Continue further expansion of the lessons learned program into multi-national venues to include NATO’s JALLC • Find innovative solutions addressing releasability issues • Work through existing venues to strengthen outreach to coalition partners • Gather feedback on FVEY JLLIS and ICI from a ACGU perspective.
