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 As of:2 AF Joint Training Superior core training has been the key enabler for Air Force successes in combat over the years Today, a majority of AF flying hours associated with major training events are flown in conjunction with or in support of other Services or Coalition partners Combat Air Forces exercises (Red Flags, Air Warriors) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff exercises (Roving Sands, Joint Task Force Exercises) Joint Airborne Air Transportability Training The future is to transform our joint training by building on Service successes and technology initiatives

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 As of:3 AF JNTC Implementation Priorities Distributed Mission Operations (DMO): Link live, virtual, and constructive high fidelity simulators and C2ISR assets into an interactive synthetic training environment Joint Close Air Support: Improve how we fight as a joint team Range Modernization: Protect ranges and enhance range instrumentation/connectivity

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 As of:4 The Question: Can We Train It All Live? The Question: Can We Train It All Live? Constraints to live training: Few Joint/Coalition training venues Dwindling exercise $$ Flying time issues Classified capabilities Safety High PERSTEMPO, OPTEMPO Airspace availability Restricted weapons / EW envelopes Environmental concerns Complex rules of engagement What we really need: u High Fidelity Virtual Battlespace u Full Sensor & C2 Representation u Composite Force Operations u Full Combat Mission Rehearsal u Sensor-to-Shooter Interactions u Joint/Coalition Interoperability What we really need: u High Fidelity Virtual Battlespace u Full Sensor & C2 Representation u Composite Force Operations u Full Combat Mission Rehearsal u Sensor-to-Shooter Interactions u Joint/Coalition Interoperability

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 As of:5 The Answer: Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) “DMO will be the only realistic way we can get ISR and shooters hooked up to test and train modern evolutions of tactics - like time critical targeting - that requires real time interface among platforms that are too stressed by OPTEMPO to train together in peacetime.” Gen John P Jumper, CSAF

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 As of:8 DMO Implementation Roadmap (An Incremental Approach) Goal - Robust Mission Environment by FY10 Mission Training Center (MTC) at each operational unit FY 99 FY 10 Incremental Expansion of DMO Network and Capabilities Individual Training Mission Rehearsal Incremental Expansion of DMO Network and Capabilities Individual Training Mission Rehearsal Fighter & Air Battle Mgmt F-15C F-16C AWACS, SOF JNTC Full Capability Joint/Coalition DMO Lateral Integration of ISR Assets J-STARS, Rivet Joint, Predator, ABL C2, Space, AEF Mission Rehearsal F-22, F-15E, B-2 AOC, TACP,Space

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 As of:9 The Bottom Line! “I was downtown at the start of tonight’s activities and got to launch the first HARM of Operation Iraqi Freedom…the location of my flight and the tactics employed were EXACTLY like we were practicing in the F-16 MTC at Shaw before we left…talk about Mission Rehearsal!” ANG F-16 pilot, Weapons School Grad MTC= Mission Training Center

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 As of:10 Joint Close Air Support (JCAS) Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom reinforced the critical need for Services to train and fight as a joint team Joint National Training Center (JNTC) capability is the focal point for improved JCAS training, and the proving ground for Joint Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures JNTC will create live, virtual constructive simulation environments for synergistic combined arms training Opportunity to provide training for all elements of the Theater Air Ground System Provides services the opportunity to “train the way we fight” in a joint warfighting environment JCAS is the primary focus of the first JNTC exercise in Jan 04

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 As of:11 Range Modernization Guiding principles Reverse the erosion of range infrastructure Increase joint interoperability Build on the success of the last training transformation Key range components Scoring, measurement, and feedback systems Threat systems Targets Challenges Event accreditation and site certification Develop and maintain standards Develop an interdisciplinary approach Recognize the interdependency between test and training infrastructure

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 As of:12 The AF JNTC Implementation Way Ahead Currently staffing the Air Force T2/JNTC CONOPS and implementation plan to support the recently approved Office of the Secretary of Defense’s Implementation plan Stand up an implementation team Assist OSD/JFCOM to develop JNTC requirements, cost estimates, and roadmaps Develop warfighters who intuitively think jointly Strengthen joint operations by preparing forces for new warfighting concepts End state: Transform joint training to enable our war-fighters to operate more effectively in joint operations
