This year's effort was especially difficult because of the increased security and extensive budget changes. The effort required many hours of hard work and dedication.

2 I personally commend the NTSA members, government organizations, and commercial companies who contributed to the success of this venture. I extend special thanks to Dr. Linda Brent, of The ASTA Group, LLC, who chaired the NTSA Training 2015 . We could not have completed this high quality product without her leadership and organizational skills. The Joint Training Committee conducted customer interviews, research, and authored the market survey report. The Joint Training Committee members are listed below: Tim Halstead, American Systems Corporation (Co-Lead) Trevor Huth, Dynamic Research Corporation (Co-Lead) Dennis Corrigan, L3-Communications Associates Brandon Curran Linda Fenty, MPRI/L3-Com Mike Finnern, L3-Com Steve Husak Bill MacDonald, SAIC Steve Moore, Booz Allen Hamilton Ralph "Pete" Towell, Zel Technologies, LLC Dan Turner, The Merchant Strategy, Inc.

3 William Younger, MYMIC, LLCIt is with much gratitude that I thank the government individuals and organizations, who participated in the NTSA Training 2015 . Once again, those responsible for developing requirements, and acquiring and using Training and simulation systems and products were most forthcoming with their perspectives.

Chairman of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff Instruction, Joint Training Policy And Guidance For The Armed Forces Of The United States (CJCSI , 2008) IntroductionJoint Training 2015presents information to assist industry s support of the US Joint Training current and future Training needs as determined by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD).

6 The information provided was gleaned through personnel interviews, government documents, and other source material obtained through Internet research. This reportsummarizes recent developments in joint Training , identifies key organizations, highlights key joint Training trends, and provides joint program Department of Defense (DoD) spends over $33B annually on Training and personnel readiness. While the majority of this Training is spent by the Services as part of their Title X (Train and Equip) responsibilities, more emphasis (and funding) is being devoted to addressing joint Training . The most visible evidence of this is the DoD Training Transformation initiative, introduced in March 2002 and continues with steady state funding through the POM (2012-2017).

7 Joint Training Policies and Joint Training PolicyJoint Training policy for the Armed Forces of the United States (CJCS Instruction )describes the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) policy for joint Training as a means to enhance joint readiness. It specifies joint Training as capabilities-based and focused on the Joint Mission Essential Tasks derived by commanders from mission analysis, fully supporting the Department s capabilities-based strategy to enhance readiness. It applies to individual, staff, and collective joint Training and joint education programs. It affirms the role of the commander in the Training and readiness of his or her organization as the primary trainer and assessor of readiness.

8 CJCS policy institutionalizes a requirements-based Joint Training System (JTS) and directs commanders to examine their missions and document their command s warfighting requirements based on tasks in the Universal Joint Task List (UJTL).This policy statement reaffirms the importance of the combat support agencies (CSAs) in supporting warfighting missions and emphasizes preparing forces for joint, multinational, and interagency operations across the range of military 2015 Joint Joint Training ImperativeFrom the CJCSI , Joint Training Policy and Guidance for the Armed Forces of the United States, forces may be employed across the full range of joint military operations, most of which will be conducted in an interagency-/multinational-partner environment.

9 A transformation goal is to support national security requirements with a range of joint military capabilities designed to adapt and succeed in an integrated operations environment. Training to operate in a joint, interagency, multinational, and intergovernmental environment is what the Armed Forces of the United States (and other agencies) must do; this environment adds conditions to the established collective joint tasks to form required joint capabilities. The challenge for joint Training is to be responsive to the needs of the combatant commanders for all operations, to include required emerging capabilities (page A-1).

10 Training SystemThe JTS provides a common approach that helps joint force commanders identify and evaluate their Training needs, plan and schedule Training events, and support the CJCS requirement to monitor the readiness of military forces. The JTS consists of four phases:1. The identification of capabilities required based on assigned missions;2. The planning and scheduling of Training events; 3. The execution of Training ; and 4. An assessment of how well the Training was accomplished. Inherent in the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) description of the future strategy is a strong signal that future operations will take on an ever-increasing joint nature. The DoD isconcerned about the ability of forces to work in concert now and in the future.
