Joint
Knowledge Development and Distribution Capability (JKDDC)
The Joint
Knowledge Development and Distribution Capability (JKDDC)
is one of the three enabling capabilities of DoD’s
Training Transformation (T2) initiative, intended to develop
and distribute joint training for individual joint warfighters
through a dynamic global network.
T2’s other two enabling capabilities are the Joint
National Training Capability (JNTC), led by the JNTC Joint
Management Office (JMO) at U.S. Joint Forces Command’s
(USJFCOM) Joint Warfighting Center (JWFC), and the Joint
Assessment and Enabling Capability, led by the Office of
the Secretary of Defense Personnel and Readiness (OSD P&R)
Office at the Pentagon.
OSD initiated JKDDC in 2003. The Joint Staff originally
managed the program. In August 2005, Deputy Under Secretary
of Defense for Readiness, Dr. Paul Mayberry, directed the
transfer of the JKDDC JMO to JWFC to better facilitate synchronization
with JNTC. The change became effective on Feb. 7, 2006.
DoD’s
goal for JKDDC is to help transform the force by creating
a capability that will provide immediate access
to individual joint knowledge resources. Objectives include:
• preparing individual warfighters for duty before and during
deployment, exercise participation and collective training;
• supporting a joint knowledge management capability with real-time
reach-back between individual warfighters, operations staffs,
subject matter experts and key information sources;
• incorporating all aspects of advanced distributed learning;
• and supporting the Joint Learning Continuum and facilitating
joint leader development.
JKDDC’s website offers more than 600 hours of interactive,
individual training. After coming to USJFCOM, the JKDDC JMO
established an enhanced vision and plan for the program using
the T2 Business Model, adopted and adapted from the JNTC
program. The program’s stakeholders directly engage
with the JKDDC JMO through stakeholders’ conferences
and process action teams.
JKDDC stakeholders include:
• The Office of the Secretary of Defense
• The Joint Staff Operational Plans and Joint Force Development
Directorate(J7)
• Combatant commands
• Combat support agencies
• The services
• The National Guard Bureau
• National Defense University
The stakeholders’ vision for JKDDC’s
future includes developing and implementing unclassified
and classified
Internet-based knowledge portals and state of the art knowledge
management methods to provide timely, relevant and globally
accessible joint knowledge to warfighters in support of combatant
commanders and integrated operations.
