 Noble
Resolve 07-2 kicks off
Long-distance
virtual connections came online as simulations began
to support decision-making and working together in a
crisis situation as U.S. Joint Forces Command's Noble
Resolve 07-2 started in Suffolk, Va. Robert Pursell has the
story.

Featuring: Navy Capt. John Kersh, the experimentation director
of Noble Resolve
Pursell: U.S. Joint Forces Command's
Noble Resolve 07-2 kicked off today and will conduct
a series of simulation-driven
experiments throughout the week to enhance homeland defense
measures and military support to civil agencies during
natural or man-made disasters.
Noble Resolve, sponsored
by USJFCOM, is an experimentation campaign plan supporting
U.S. Northern Command to develop
solutions for U.S. agencies and organizations by providing
the means to deter, prevent, and defeat threats and
aggression aimed at the U.S., its territories, and interests.
Noble
Resolve 07-2 will use intricate computer-based models
and long distance virtual connections to provide the environment
for participants to make decisions and work together
as
they would in the case of a real crisis.
By using the models,
no troops or emergency personnel will actually have to
deploy or respond to events, saving money
and time.
Navy Capt. John Kersh, the experimentation director
of Noble Resolve, discussed the purpose of the campaign.
Kersh: We’re trying to enhance homeland defense by
putting together an experimentation venue that allows interested
parties to work research objectives of mutual interest.
We’re actually distributing the game itself with
this series of vignettes so that organizations do not have
to leave where they normally work, which is gigantic.
Pursell: Noble Resolve 07-2 will bring approximately 100 people
from across the United States and abroad to develop
solutions to provide improved defense support to civil
authorities and build upon global partnerships.
Kersh said
throughout the campaign, USJFCOM will benefit not only
from the opportunity to work with partners in
this collaborative environment, but also from the chance
to apply some of its own modeling and simulation products.
