I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 9 Here’s What the Warfighter Requires Essential to support the Joint Force Commander in achieving military objectives by Validated Equipping “Instilling confidence in how systems will perform in current and future mission environments.” Realistic Training “Providing the warfighter the ability to experience the operation in a sufficiently realistic environment prior to the actual operation.” Effective Employment “Knowing the capabilities and limitations of the force to execute operational requirements, and adjusting TTPs to execute evolving operational missions.” Informed Organizing “Enabling the ability to determine the appropriate application of force to dominate the operational environment.” Joint Requirement and Oversight Council Approved and Validated Requirements: Integrating Architecture for Air & Space Live-Virtual-Constructive Environments Initial Capability Document LVC Environments A persistent, agile, trustworthy, robust, manageable, organized and integrated LVC environments. LVC Architecture An integrated, interoperable and quality architecture that enables persistency. LVC Workforce An agile and trustworthy M&S LVC workforce. LVC Oversight Ensuring compliance, improving understanding, and strengthening trustworthy, reliable and effective relationships for Joint integrating architecture policies and standards.
