Joint Warfighting Center Emerging Focus Areas

• Emphasize the human dimension of warfare…seek cognitive development. Information Knowledge Understanding INTUITION.

• Support the development of immersive training technologies that enhance the development of agile, high performing leaders and units. The first firefight should be no worse than the last simulation.

• Increase tactical unit access to live, virtual and constructive capabilities (ISR, Joint Fires, etc).

• Increase mutual training value for DOD and non-DOD partners at Joint and Service training programs.

• Increase the frequency and fidelity of training focused on the integration of Special Operations Forces with General Purpose Forces.

Desired Outcome: Take a giant leap forward in creating a realistic live, virtual and constructive immersive training environment for

small units in ground combat on par with training capabilities that have allowed us to achieve air, space and maritime dominance.
