Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Why Another Tool? Closer integration with JTLS-GO Allow automated injection of JTLS orders. Tie MSEL times to game time. Allow injects to be created without knowing some of the details. For example be able to choose which unit during execution. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Current Status Prototyping for the last couple of years. Final design in progress. Implementation part of JTLS-GO 5.1. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Terminology JEMM: NATO tool JMSEL: U. S. tool JEMM: Scenario/Exercise JMSEL: Event: A training event such as an exercise. JMSEL: Storyline/Thread: Used to group related injects. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Terminology JEMM: Storyline: Overall depiction of Events and Incidents. JEMM: Event: A major occurrence. JEMM: Incident: Actions that provide greater clarity to an Event. JEMM/JMSEL: Inject – A way of bringing something to the attention of the training audience.

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Use Cases J7 – Import existing scenario from JMSEL tool and use for injects into the model during the exercise. Use in all phases of exercise. Planning conferences Scenario development Exercise execution After Action Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Architecture Modular implementation used by JOBE for planning conferences DDS during scenario development WHIP during exercise TRIPP for after action reporting Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Data Storage All share a common file format JOBE – Local file system DDS – Glassfish servlet WHIP/TRIPP – Glassfish servlet Initial servlet implementation will be file based, but would like to have the option to use a database for scalability. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation JMSEL Data Import Translate the JMSEL export file into JTLS-MSEL data. Have the ability to receive updates Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Inject Types Emails Reminders – Message sent to a WHIP Order spreadsheets Individual Orders Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Marker Concept Goal is to allow deferring the selection of specifics while still allowing injects to be created. Once the decision is made, only need to enter it in one place. Any field can contain special markers, which are the place holders. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Marker Concept Markers can represent any of: Unit Target Location Duration Time Text Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Run Queue Used to control automated injects. Injects have an execution time. The user submits an inject to the queue. The user can put the queue in a run or paused state. If the queue is running, queued injects are submitted at their execution time. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
