• Terms and definitions across the federal government
• Exercise requirements mandated by higher authority
• Exercise event life cycle
• Intelligence Community participation
• Objectives hierarchy
• OSD icw Joint Staff J-7 will act as final arbiter for DOD scope and
exercise objectives in Tier 1 NLEs … what about Tier 2, 3 and 4?

Topic: Training and Exercising COCOM PI Plan
Status: COCOMs have assigned varying priorities to train and
exercise AOR specific PI plan with sliding scale of readiness to
handle PI
Issue: No Synchronization of effort in developing PI training and
exercises
Impact: Duplication effort, not leveraging from more mature COCOMs
Actions to Resolve Issue (Current/Planned):
• Across COCOM exercise after plans developed to work
plans/seams
• Create centralize schedule of COCOM PI events – opportunity to
glean from others
• Develop centralized Lessons Learned database (similar to GWOT-
JFCOM)
• Share COCOM PI experience – Send Observers to other COCOM
planning conferences and exercise executions
• Develop standardized PI JMETLs/JMETs

Issues Recap
• Linked Exercise Policy issues and actions (next slide)
• Convene concept exploration meeting for Mar 08
– Invitees: JS J-6, J-7, DHS, STRATCOM, PACOM, NSA, JFCOM,
Others?
– CYBERSTORM II, GLOBAL STORM, BULWARK DEFENDER,
TERMINAL FURY, others
• Coordinate DJIOC to IC plans for exercising
• Update and make 5-year schedule recommendations to the PTEE
PCC
• Synchronize Pandemic Influenza plans and objectives within the
NEP 5-year schedule
24
Issues Recap
• Linked Exercise Policy
– Define “linked exercise”
• Determine goals for linking exercises (i.e. what is the primary purpose for linking
versus setting up simulation cell in associated organization)
– Common terms and definitions consistent or ICW interagency definitions
– Develop tiers for exercise objectives (example: writing EXORD different tier from Crisis
Action/Adaptive planning)
• Establish process for objectives hierarchy (SN versus ST tasks/objectives)
– Consolidate JMSEL into single database at CDC
– Develop process for integrating allied participation
– Develop process for coordinating Tier I and II support requests for federal and regional
participation/support
– Develop process for determining lead decision maker (s) for linked exercises
– Determine linked exercise country naming convention as well as UAL use
– Examine requirements for JWFC support to large linked exercises
– Examine OT process for DOD to I/A linked exercises
– Level of Participation
Get STRATCOM and NSA linked exercise briefs
25
Linked Exercise Planning Policy
•Issue: Exercise Planning policy is inconsistent
•Discussion: DHS HSEEP and DOD doctrine for designing, planning and executing exercises is
different.
•Endstate: Consistent and complementary exercise planning timelines and processes across
the federal departments and agencies in accordance with the NEP IP and subordinate
instructions.
•POA&M: Develop instruction describing the process for linking exercises
– Research best practices (Aug 07)
– Discuss/coordinate best practices at WJTSC 07-2
– Develop CJCSI for linked exercises process (or incorporate into existing
instruction)
•OPRs: JS J-7, JFCOM

Summary and Wrap Up
• Ground swell of support for synchronization across the
government
• Managing expectations and compromise are important first
steps
• Linked Exercise Doctrine is Key
• NEP Timeline is in effect
• Exercise synchronization is near … here!

Backup Slides
Benefit of Synchronizing
• Deconflict and compliment government-wide exercise schedules
• Coordinate senior leader participation
• Efficiently use staff time
– Provide down time to train and update TTP
– Incorporate lessons learned into SOP (update doctrine and policy)
– Optimize time to plan future exercises
• Minimize exercise fatigue
• Facilitate functional COCOM planning
• Build process to help communicate aspects of the exercise program
– Are large scale, interagency exercises focused on HD, on security
cooperation, on GWOT … where is the focus?
– What should the focus be?
• Provide better rationale for exercise participation decisions
• Meet the intent of SecDef guidance to reduce exercises
29
Exercise Synchronization Initiative
• Establish National Security Exercise Program to facilitate more realistic
interagency exercises and improve US national response to crises
– Codify annual exercise events
• Establish coordinated, 5 year schedule for strategic-national level
exercises
• Improve DOD/interagency synchronization: Conduct Chairman’s
sponsored exercises with the interagency based on strategic-national
level priorities such as:
GWOT COCOM Seams Information Sharing
Strategic Counter Insurgency
Info Assurance
Communications Operations
Stabilization and
Counter Proliferation Other Issues
Reconstruction Ops
• Selectively increase the level of participation and realism in strategic-
national level exercises by including principals from participating
departments and agencies
30
Synchronization Progress and Way Ahead
• Synchronized 5 year forecast during March Worldwide Joint
Training and Scheduling Conference (WJTSC), with DHS and
interagency support
• Updated 5 year forecast during DHS’ June National Exercise
Conference, with DOD/JS support
• Brief scheduled to PTEE/PCC . . . take NSEP and calendar to DC
– Establish NSEP doctrine and solid dates for annual events
• Update/refine 5 year calendar during October Worldwide Joint
Training and Scheduling Conference and report back to
PTEE/PCC
• NSC/HSC directs the iterative process
31
Challenges for Federal Exercises
• Support U.S. Government Officers’ preparation for managing
national crises, and accountability of those who support them
• Limit ad hoc requests for U.S. Government Officers’ involvement
• Maximize value of that involvement: make it worthwhile
– Exercise what is important at a strategic/policy level
– Exercise what is important, in sufficient depth
– Follow through on exercises and correct/improve elements of national response
policy and capability
• Avoid temptation to overcentralize and stifle needed exercise
activity at operational and tactical levels
32
Interagency Ownership
• NLEs and CLEs will reflect USG-wide priorities, not single
department or agency programs (individual exercises should be
made to fit NLEs, not vice versa)
• Full HSC Plans, Training, Exercises, and Evaluation Policy
Coordination Committee (PTEE PCC) recommends
priorities/goals/objectives, schedule, and corrective action
issues to Deputies
• NEP Executive Steering Committee supports day-to-day
coordination and staff work for PTEE PCC
– DHS (chair), DOD, DOE, HHS, DOJ, DOS, DOT, ODNI, FBI
– Up to three rotating members (one year term)
– HSC, NSC, OMB representatives in non-voting oversight capacity
33
Five Year Exercise Schedule
• Based on strategic direction and policy priorities
• Sets forth goals, themes, and schedule slots for NLEs, CLEs
– May involve progressive level of detail (implementation plan issue)
– Requires process for discouraging changes less than two fiscal years out
(implementation plan issue)
• Submitted by June 30 each year (in time for budget call)
• Allows for departments and agencies to align other exercises,
training activities, and preparatory reviews of policies, plans,
and procedures
• Leverages existing interagency exercise conferences of DHS and
DOD for development
34
Corrective Action Program (CAP)
• CAP is a basic requirement to ensure exercises have outcomes
rather than short-lived outputs
• NEP CAP process is required to:
– Document issues for resolution
– Prioritize issues for Cabinet-level attention (strategic/national/interagency)
– Ensure issues are assigned for resolution
– Track resolution
– Report progress
• Reporting may be the only “enforcement” mechanism from PTEE
PCC perspective
35
“Soft Alignment” of Other Exercises
• “The NEP shall not replace existing Department and Agency
exercise programs. Rather, the NEP shall address directed policy
priorities and […] may incorporate Department- and Agency-
specific exercises as needed.”
• Other “unincorporated” exercises are not addressed in detail; they
can be
– Aligned to NEP priorities, as potential building blocks for outyear exercises OR
– Used to address issues specific to individual Departments and Agencies
• Requirements for NEP should lead to supporting processes at
individual Departments and Agencies, where they do not exist:
– Prioritization of goals, objectives, and exercise proposals for submission
– Internal corrective action program process
