2 JKO recognized the ten year anniversary of full operational capability this year, and I am looking forward to an exciting future. I join a solid, reliable team in ensuring operational stability, content integrity, joint training relevance and excellent customer support. The JKO team is proven in delivering a scalable, cost efficient and effective training capability as evidenced by the continuous enhancements and growth over the past ten years. The JKO distributed learning capability demonstrates continuous growth, improvements, and efficiencies to ensure a lower cost training option for the enterprise. I fully expect to build on this reputation, leaning forward to deliver training and education solutions. We will continue to align to leadership s training guidance and priorities as we pursue innovations that best link education, training, exercises and force development.

3 Our Secretary expects us to serve as effective stewards of resources as we support the Chairman s focus on improving joint warfighting capabilities, restoring joint readiness, and developing leaders as the foundation of the future Joint Force. Our Director for Joint Force Development, J-7, has laid out the Campaign Plan for Joint Force Development Next. I see a number of opportunities to further leverage the JKO toolkit to support these objectives to ensure joint training enhances the readiness of the force in the most fiscally responsible way possible. We offer lower cost training opportunities by streamlining development processes and reusing digital content across products and platforms: desktop, tablet, mobile, and the Small Group Scenario Trainer (SGST) web-based staff training tool.

4 The SGST tool in particular enables more frequent, facilitated, smaller events that support responsive, just-in-time staff training opportunities, and enables perpetual refresh training. Our mobile capability is being used to deliver point-of-need information resources. These tools can be further integrated across the learning continuum, in support of leader development, and to capture and provide the data necessary for evidence-based training effectiveness. Just as our Director is focused on Joint Force Development Next, I am focused on where JKO is going next to ensure relevance for a training pipeline of curious digital natives, while integrating learning sciences and education technology in order to optimize our training and education capability for performance and readiness.

5 I look forward to working with you all to better understand your training gaps and needs, and to position JKO as a mitigating training solution.

8 JKO also administers the Senior Enlisted Joint Professional Military Education (SEJPME) program offering SEJPME I and SEJPME II courses. JKO is based upon a modern, scalable architecture that can readily adapt to meet emerging needs. The distributed learning architecture integrates government off-the-shelf products and commercial interface standards, reducing total overall costs and enhancing sharing of digital content through a standards-based, non-proprietary distributed learning capability. The architecture maintains compliance with DoD information assurance and cyber security directives. The JKO distributed learning architecture includes access to JKO portals on military networks, Learning Content Management System, web-based courseware authoring tool, the distributed Small Group Scenario Trainer (SGST) staff training tool, JKO Report Builder, the JKO Mobile App, and Army Training Requirements and Resources System training records linkage for military service members.
