Joint Live, Virtual, Constructive Architectural Environment

The Joint Live, Virtual, Constructive (JLVC) architectural environment provides a training architecture for joint, service, multinational, agency and combatant command (COCOM) training. It is the foundation for a training atmosphere which can be tailored to meet joint training needs.

JLVC’s architecture and infrastructure consists of network hardware and software that integrates instrumentation and simulation systems.

It creates a training environment that provides leaders with battlespace awareness and the ability to exercise current and emerging capabilities in a distributed, global exercise setting.

U.S. Joint Forces Command’s (USJFCOM) Joint Warfighting Center (JWFC) uses JLVC to conduct joint training, education, and mission rehearsals. Specific events include mission rehearsal training for Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom as well as other operations.

JWFC also uses JLVC to support training for homeland defense and to support planning for combat operations, theater security cooperation and contingencies at other combatant commands.

The JLVC environment provides support for training for a full range of defense and interagency audiences, including:
• The services’ active duty and reserve components
• The National Guard
• State police forces
• The Red Cross
• Other national and state agencies
