Issue 08-018: Coordination and synchronization of JTEN services and LVC training enhancements for exercises conducted by ABCA partner nations and combatant commands/Services.

Discussion:  JTEN currently has temporary connections to like networks in Australia and the United Kingdom, with a connection to Canada on the horizon. No formal procedure exists for scheduling the use of the JTEN by ABCA partners or combatant commands/Services for the scheduling and provisioning of distributed training assets (i.e. Virtual and Constructive training enablers).

Endstate: Development of a formal coordination process, business rules and/or other documents as necessary for ABCA partners and combatant commands/Services that outlines the process for scheduling and coordinating JTEN utilization and LVC training enhancements for ABCA/combatant commands/Services pre-deployment training for OIF/OEF.

POA&M: JWFC to be given the lead for:– Development of a catalog of available ABCA virtual and constructive training capabilities – Establishment of a scheduling process for the JTEN and V&C assets– Develop business rules formalizing this process

OPR: USJFCOM OCRs: PJHQ J7, HQJOC J7, and CFD/CFEC.
