Joint Force Trainer - Doctrine

Joint Force Trainer - Doctrine's top priority is to support the commands' efforts to provide trained, capable, and interoperable joint forces for the combatant commanders. Joint doctrine provides the common standards from which to plan and operate, and fundamentally shapes the way we think about and train for war. Joint doctrine guides the employment of joint forces and provides the common way of conducting operations based on existing capabilities.

USJFCOM's Joint Warfighting Center (JWFC) plans and conducts joint training with a foundation in joint doctrine, and assesses it during its application in joint force training, experimentation and operations. JWFC's Joint Force Trainer - Doctrine assists the Joint Staff by serving as the major production center for joint doctrine assessment and development. These products aid combatant commanders in preparing for joint and multinational operations.

JWFC's Joint Force Trainer - Doctrine:
• Assists the Joint Staff in leading the development of the joint/multinational doctrine process;
• Assists other U.S./multinational organizations in doctrine development;
• Leads the conceptualization of joint/multinational standards;
• Leads the analysis and Integration of validated concepts, lessons learned, new capabilities, policies, strategies, tactics, techniques, and procedures into joint doctrine;
• Provides an unbiased view to ensure joint doctrine is relevant and current;
• Reviews all joint/multinational publications;
• And leads joint doctrine assessment through a blend of unique capabilities and interaction with constellation partners.

Joint Force Trainer - Doctrine is a critical conduit to transition combatant command initiatives through our analysis of their joint doctrine proposals; participation in drafting project directives; and through the development of combatant commander sponsored joint doctrine publications (handbook, pamphlets, and white papers). Joint Force Trainer - Doctrine's research and special studies serve as critical vehicles to move validated concepts and "best practices" into joint and multinational doctrine. Properly applying joint doctrine during training, mission planning and execution represents a force multiplier and results in a more effective and efficient joint force.

Joint doctrine is consistently changing to reflect our consensus regarding the current practices of the joint force, as a result of the changing nature of warfare, and the evolving strategic environment.
