  4. BCTP Emerging Training Requirements • Revising Warfighter Exercise to meet Full Spectrum Exercise (FSX) requirements: • Addressing atrophied Offense and Defense skills • Increasing to a 5-2-5 model • Researching what is the right resourcing for JIIM in a FSX • Integration of the Hybrid Threat • Developing future Full Spectrum Battle Command Seminars • Integrate Design into future Battle Command Seminars and Exercises • Develop example training objectives that support the One Full Spectrum METL • Address additional and emerging training requirements in support of MBA-SFA We cannot simply pile more good ideas on top of old proven methods as we work through how we train, educate, and develop leaders for full-spectrum operations. We must innovate and adapt as we transform training and leader development to achieve our goals. GEN CASEY ,CSA . ATLG 2010-11

  5. The Warfighter Exercise Goal: The purpose of the WFX is to assist in the training of Corps, Division and Brigade Commanders and their staffs in the execution of Battle Command. The WFX is focused on training a unit on a set of mission essential tasks identified by the EXDIR and the training unit commander. • Issues • WFX scenarios to date have been primarily focused on Offense and Defense with Stability added as an additional mission • Mission sets are sequential in nature • 5-7 days of CPX is not enough to allow for the detailed planning and simultaneous execution of Offense, Defense and Stability Operations • Adequate time for a unit to conduct assessments is not available Generalized Division Model AAR AAR Problem: the current WFX model does not adequately support the training of Full Spectrum Operations. Exercise Construct • 5-7 day CPX for Division and Corps preceded by a 5-day BCS (within six months) • 9-12 day model for BCT includes a 5-day BCS and MDMP in conjunction with the CPX • Seeks to replicate Unified Actions in a full spectrum COE with a free playing OPFOR • Relies primarily on the interaction of BLUFOR and OPFOR in the simulation to create the challenges required for training FOUO

  6. The Full Spectrum Exercise Goal: FSX is to assists in the training of Corps, Division and Brigade Commanders and their staffs in the execution of Battle Command along the spectrum of conflict. The FSX is focused on training a unit on a set of mission essential tasks. Specifically, a unit can work on “re-bluing” the atrophied skills associated with offense and defense without neglecting the skills required to execute stability operations. Army forces combine offensive, defensive, and stability or civil support operations simultaneously as part of an interdependent joint force to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative, accepting prudent risk to create opportunities to achieve decisive results. ~ FM 3-0 dtd FEB 09 Offense Defense Generalized Division Model Concept Stability Stability Defense AAR Offense AAR Exercise Construct • 4-2-4 CPX for Division and Corps preceded by a 5-day BCS (within six months) • Additional time sufficient to portray the complexity of a full spectrum environment; includes hybrid threat • Additional training days prevents focus on just the Offense-Defense fight • Already in execution at the BCT level with Operations Group C FOUO

  7. BCTP Brigade Full Spectrum Exercise Goal: Exercise the core competencies that set the foundation for the other CTCs to build upon (Battle Command, MDMP, Targeting, Knowledge Management, Command Post Operations) “101” “501” “201” “301” “401” BCSoSIT Individual ABCS Operator Training Battle Command Seminar (COIN) BCTP BCT Full Spectrum Exercise JRTC/NTC/ JMRC LTP JRTC/NTC/ JMRC MRE Discussing a nested scenario for execution with JMRC FOUO

  8. Sustainment & Multi-Functional BDEs Goal: In partnership with 1st Army and COEs, provide each deploying unit a Culminating Training Event CTE Construct BCTP Role 36TH, 90TH, 96TH SBs PoP 135TH ESC PoP UNCLASSIFIED / FOUO
