COCOM Exercise Engagement and Training Transformation (CE2T2) - non-MHA

The Joint Training, Exercise and Evaluation Program (JTEEP), managed by the Joint Staff, is a Department of Defense (DoD) initiative designed to enhance joint warfighting readiness by developing, modernizing, and integrating training environments that replicate complex operational scenarios. The goal of JTEEP is to support the operational readiness of the joint force by investing in research, development, and technical integration of live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) training capabilities. These efforts align with defense strategic guidance and the Joint Operational Training Infrastructure (JOTI) strategy. The program ensures that joint forces are prepared to meet operational requirements in a rapidly evolving threat environment.

Air Force Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) focuses on upgrading and integrating cyber and space-based models into the JLVC environment, enhancing cross-domain solutions and increasing the fidelity of training for both live and virtual participants. The program develops realistic Opposing Force (OPFOR) scenarios, integrates cyber simulation environments, and improves infrastructure attack and defense training through the Joint Electric Power Range (JEPR). It also advances capabilities for all-domain operations against adversary control systems and supports controlled radio frequency (RF) exercise events. These efforts improve joint cyber and electronic warfare training.

Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) provides technical standards, architecture, and development processes necessary to integrate joint training enablers across the DoD. This program supports simultaneous, large-scale training for Combatant Commands, Joint Task Forces, and Service components. JNTC is modernizing the Joint Training Environment (JTE) through a Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA). It is developing a cloud-ready Joint Training Platform and Joint Training Tool (JTT) that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and authoritative data sources. The aim is to automate and enhance all phases of joint exercises, from planning to after-action review, and to support the operationalization of the Joint Warfighting Concept.

Joint Knowledge Development & Distribution Capability (JKDDC) is centered on Joint Knowledge Online (JKO), the DoD's enterprise solution for online joint training. JKDDC develops and maintains web-enabled training products and services, including the JKO Learning Management System (LMS), Course Builder, Warrior Readiness Site, and Virtual Classroom. The program's objectives are to support career-long joint learning, professional military education, and tailored training standards for Service members. JKDDC invests in advanced content development techniques, adaptive learning methodologies, and micro-learning technologies to personalize and optimize the training experience for a globally integrated joint force.

Navy Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) advances maritime training by integrating JLVC elements into a unified joint training environment. The program conducts research and development to support Fleet Synthetic Training (FST), Combatant Commander exercises, Ballistic Missile Defense Exercises (BMDEX), and BMD at Sea events. It focuses on modeling ground, air, space, and maritime capabilities, developing advanced models for anti-ship cruise missile defense, counter-ISR, unmanned systems defense, and upgrades to tactical and sensor systems. These efforts enable realistic certification and operational training for deploying naval forces and Joint Force Maritime Component Commands.

USMC Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) enhances Marine Corps training by improving the fidelity and realism of simulation systems for Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) units. The program develops the MAGTF Tactical Warfare Simulation, which integrates terrain data, indigenous population modules, and exercise planning tools. These capabilities support joint simulation constructs and address training shortfalls in engineering obstacle simulations, particularly in support of multinational exercises such as Ulchi Freedom Guardian. The program's focus is on interoperability and risk reduction for Marine Corps units preparing for global deployment.

Joint Staff Live, Virtual and Constructive (JLVC) Modernization is a priority initiative aimed at closing joint operational training gaps identified in recent threat assessments, particularly those related to peer competitors such as China. JLVC Modernization invests in core data standardization, non-kinetic effects modeling, exercise control, and the integration of advanced simulation environments. The program leverages rapid technology advancement through partnerships with industry and academia, focusing on AI-powered scenario generation, smart OPFOR operations, and after-action review capabilities. JLVC Modernization is critical for enabling all-domain, high-end training, supporting the Pacific Multi-Domain Training and Experimentation Capability, and preparing the joint force to employ future capabilities in complex operational environments.
