CINCFOR Implementation of JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff) Joint Training Directives

摘要

The study focused on the implementation by CINCFOR of a series of joint training directives from Congress (Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). Because the full impact of these directives is still unclear, the study seeks to concentrate on two specific areas: the Joint Mission Essential Task List (JMETL) and the Joint Training Plan (JTP). The uniqueness of CINCFOR versus other CINCs clearly emphasizes the difficulty that all CINCs will have in the implementation of truly joint training. The immediate challenge for CINFOR is to develop the mechanism and the methodology for the development of JMETLs and the JTP in the dynamic environment of DOD reorganization, changing world-wide requirements, and force allocation and organization. The study was requested and sponsored by FORSCOM J3. Military funding, National defense, United States government, Military training. (jes)
