Joint Training, Analysis & Simulation
Center
General Support Contract for United States Joint Forces Command
Tasked to improve joint readiness, the United States Joint Forces
Command's (USJFCOM) Joint Warfighting Center (JWFC) provides
world-wide training and training support and assists in preparing
integrated and interoperable forces for joint and multinational
operations. The JWFC also manages and integrates joint-capable
models and simulations and is a leader in developing joint doctrine
and joint training initiatives. As the prime contractor,
Northrop Grumman Mission Systems provides program management
support, designs joint and multinational training exercises
and demonstrations, supports and monitors execution of the
training, and analyzes the results.
The Mission Systems JWFC Support Team, a leader in joint
training, distributed learning, modeling, simulation, and
C4I systems, is providing the innovation and support required
to meet the challenges of joint training programs. As the
general support contractor for the USJFCOM, Mission systems
provides cost-effective joint training program support in
systems integration, process control and improvement, contracting
services, product reuse, and technology for ongoing and planned
exercises. By leveraging existing distributed training and
simulation advancements, Mission Systems supports a flexible,
fully responsive, and realistic training capability for both
the JWFC and the Joint Training, Analysis and Simulation Center
(JTASC). Mission Systems also provides senior mentors – retired
generals and admirals who are all former joint force commanders.
They mentor the joint force commander or joint task force
commander and staff during joint exercises, providing a wealth
of battle-proven experience.
Process improvement, reuse and sharing of exercise support
products, and improvements in technology are three key factors
that increase the efficiency of the JWFC. A process-driven
organization, the JWFC exploits the concept of continuous
improvements to increase capabilities without additional resources.
By implementing techniques such as enterprise engineering,
a suitable set of metrics is being developed to measure the
resulting improvement within the JWFC organization.
Incorporating all the elements of joint warfare, including
the political and diplomatic aspects of joint and multi-national
operations, the JWFC meets the requirements of joint training
by:
- Developing and executing distributed joint training and
simulation supported exercises and assessing the results.
- Coordinating with other combatant commanders to provide
tailored exercise support with the maximum level of fidelity
and rigor for their specific training audiences.
- Assessing operational plans and the readiness of joint
forces.
- Providing planning for command post facilities to achieve
these objectives.
