Narrated by Robert Pursell, USJFCOM Public Affairs
Featuring: Director of Joint Training Army Maj. Gen. Jason Kamiya

Pursell: As U.S. Joint Forces Command's Director of Joint Training, Army Maj. Gen. Jason Kamiya and his team play an integral role in preparing U.S. - based forces for joint and multinational operations.

USJFCOM's Joint Training Directorate and Joint Warfighting Center is responsible for supporting combatant command training exercises, advocacy for service and component joint training programs, preparing joint forces with a focus on joint task force headquarters, and developing and managing joint doctrine.

To gain the widest range of expertise, the J7/JWFC works with a broad range of partners to support training and readiness of joint warfighters, including the office of secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, other combatant commands, the services, as well as U.S. interagency and multinational partners.

Kamiya recently took the time to talk about joint training and mentioned what it meant for him personally to play a major role in its development.

Kamiya: In the year in a half here, I've gained a new appreciation of what USJFCOM does in joint force providing, joint capability development, joint force training and a lot of other things we do and I try to use every opportunity I can to help Gen. Mattis market the things that USJFCOM does and the important role that it fulfills today.

Pursell: Kamiya also discussed the goals and expectations of his training team, their progress under his watch, the current state of joint training and where he thinks it's headed in the future.
