_____ and DoD engagement”. So what does agency participation in your event gain the agency?
• Agency participation needs to be more than reading a script.
• Realism = Meaningful Interagency Participation• Early involvement planning in Joint Event Life Cycle

Issues
• Accommodate Interagency interest to participate in DOD exercises.
• Adaptive planning for IA participation not originally requested for support.
• Expect DOD funding to influence IA selection of DOD exercises
IA currently working to develop training, exercise & experiments strategies.

USG Interagency Working Group
Issues
• Allows them to inject their equities and shape the exercise to the benefit of both the IA and DOD.
• Fosters professional relationships as a collaborative partner.• Eliminates under usage of IA participants during DOD exercises• Direct efforts of contracted role players
Consider planning conferences in the JELC as an additional opportunity to engage the IA.
