13. Joint Command and Control (JC2)
Training Management
Briefer: Mr. Chiaverotti
Issue : No joint organization assigned responsibility for managing JC2 training.
Discussion: Transition from Global Command and Control (GCCS) Family of Systems to Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC) offers opportunity for effective and efficient training delivery to individual warfighters worldwide based on a joint standards-based foundation. NECC provides a single, joint architecture to establish a common environment for warfighters at all levels of JC2 in which both systems and functional training curricula can be re-used and tailored to warfighter needs. NECC material developers will provide appropriate individual functional training packages for each NECC capability module produced. Current GCCS-Joint Single Service Training Manager model doesn’t provide authority and resources to ensure NECC-related training packages are effective, standardized, entered into extant joint curricula, and distributed to Services and Agencies for re-use.
Endstate: A joint command and control training management organization with the necessary authority and resources codified by a CJCSI, in-place and functioning.
POA&M: Standup a stakeholders’ forum to research and assess need, responsibility, authorities, and resourcing. Provide a POA&M. Revise CJCSI B. Lead warfighter engagement at Global Command and Control (GCC) Training Working Group (TWG) quarterly meetings.

14. Joint Staff Officer Proficiency
Briefer: MAJ Coryell
Issue : The ramp up time to achieve desired proficiency for officers reporting for joint assignment at combatant commands is too long.
Discussion: The results of the Joint Staff Officer Study included the desired 15 core competencies for Joint Staff Officers identified by combatant command senior leadership. Lack of competency in identified areas were found to result in extended ramp up time for officers to achieve desired proficiency levels in joint staff officer tasks. Combatant commands expressed interest in the Joint Staff J-7 leading the development of Joint Staff Officer training support resources to close the identified proficiency gap.
Endstate: Policy and supporting program of instruction that leads to the reduction in time for officers to become proficient in joint staff officer duties.
POA&M: Joint Staff J-7 in coordination with combatant commands develops joint staff officer training support resources. Combatant commands staff and assess draft training support resources and provide input to JS J-7. JS J-7 modifies draft resources as required and combatant commands implement Joint Staff Officer training in command training programs. JS J-7 in coordination with combatant commands coordinates additional training resources, as required.
OPR: JS J-7 JETD; OCRs: Combatant Commands
Complete formal staffing of the Joint Staff Officer Study. Joint Staff J-7 identify existing resources and content to develop program of instruction addressing the 15 core competencies identified in the Joint Staff Officer Study.
