Narrated by Robert Pursell, USJFCOM Public Affairs
Featuring: Army Maj. Rod Garfield, joint C4 information branch chief

Pursell:  U.S. Joint Forces Command will hold a command control, communications and computer or C4 planners course in January to provide knowledge and experience of joint systems in theater.

The course, developed by USJFCOM’s Joint Warfighting Center and the command's C4 Systems Directorate or J6 along with the U.S. Army Signal Center at Ft. Gordon, Ga., will address combatant command – identified issues of C4 planners arriving in theater without joint systems training.

Army Maj. Rod Garfield, joint C4 information branch chief, explained the purpose of the course.

Garfield: "The goal for the course is two fold; first is to bring about a common baseline or interoperability across the services so they can speak to each other with one commonality on command, control, communications and computer systems in support of the Long War.  More importantly, is for each graduate to possess the ‘know how’ required to operate successfully on a COCOM or Joint Staff."

Pursell:  Smaller courses for eight to12 students are planned early in 2007 and organizers planned a larger course for 20 students shortly after. Future plans for five classes per year with 15 students per class are ongoing.
