Joint
Training Directorate and
Joint Warfighting Center (J7/JWFC)
U.S. Joint Forces Command's (USJFCOM) Joint
Warfighting Center (JWFC) in Suffolk, Va. coordinates the U.S. military's overall
joint training efforts to ensure it is the most advanced and powerful
force in the world.
Maintaining that level of superiority depends on strengthening
and developing new capabilities and continually transforming the
military forces it trains. Joint training provides a solid basis
for successful engagements in real-world operations.
JWFC works with a broad range of partners to support joint warfighter
development, including the Office of Secretary of Defense, the
Joint Staff, the services, unified commands, as well as interagency
and multinational partners.
The command provides highly realistic training within a joint
context, revises the content and execution of training through
adoption of lessons learned and best practices, and develops advanced
technologies in conjunction with operational exercises.
Since 2003, JWFC has conducted over 20 mission rehearsals and
more than a dozen staff assistance visits to prepare joint leaders
and their staffs as they deploy around the globe.
JWFC hosts two of the three enabling capabilities of DoD's Training
Transformation initiative: the Joint National
Training Capability (JNTC) and the Joint
Knowledge Development and Distribution Capability (JKDDC).
JNTC uses a mix of live, virtual and constructive models and simulations
in an integrated network of over 40 persistent training sites to
provide the most realistic collective joint mission experience
possible. In addition, this capability provides training and accreditation
support with a total effort of over 700 man-years in 20 states.
Complimentary
and mutually supporting is JKDDC, which focuses on online, individual
training for joint, interagency and multinational
participants. JKDDC is available “anytime, anywhere” and
is emerging as the premier provider of joint knowledge online.
JWFC also plays an integral role in transforming senior military
leader development by hosting portions of three courses sponsored
by USJFCOM and the National Defense University at Fort Lesley J.
McNair in Washington, D.C.:
• The Keystone joint operations module for command senior enlisted
leaders
• The Capstone joint operations module for newly selected flag and
general officers
• The Pinnacle course for two- and three-star joint task force commanders
