Quick Mission Rehearsals Goal of Joint Training

摘要

Slashing the rehearsal time needed for joint training missions from months to days is one of the goals of the joint national training capability (JNTC), a concept designed to move joint warfare from rhetoric to reality. Yet todays joint exercises are anything but quick. Major war games such as CJTFEX 04-2, a Joint Forces Command exercise that included 28,000 American and British troops as well as a carrier battle group, take six to nine months to plan, according to Warren Bizub, director of JNTC's advanced training technology program. "It is a long process to do the planning piece, the design piece, the database development piece and then the after-action review," Bizub explained.
