TRADOC Pam 525-3-7-01the ability to tailor the material quickly to individual or unit needs. The identification of outcomemeasures and processes that can provide this type of feedback must be a priority for futuretraining, and leadership education research and studies.Training for Joint, Interagency, and Multinational (JIM) OperationsArmy operations will continue to rely on joint interdependence and the future OE will containsignificant JIM elements. The Joint Force Training Center proposes a process and environmentnecessary to build the required joint culture and revolutionize joint training. Two central ideasform the basis for this joint concept. The first, the transformation of joint training processes,focuses on non-materiel changes that will transform joint training and provide required skills toindividuals, units, and staffs at the right time. The second emphasizes the need to strengthen theJoint training global environment.Future Army JIM doctrine and training programs must be capable of rapidly producingtraining support products designed for use in a JIM environment and/or for training within a JIMcontext. Observations, insights, and lessons from JIM operations must be as accessible as thosefrom the Center for Army Lessons Learned. Within the TLE programs, there will be an increasedemphasis on incorporating scenarios, case studies and other instructional approaches with JIMoperations as the context, and more training time given to training of skills needed forcollaborative planning and decisionmaking in a JIM context. Professional military educationcurricula must prepare Army leaders to be joint commanders and staff officers in Army forcescommands, joint force land component commands, and joint TF headquarters.In addition, Soldiers need training to understand and appreciate the cultures of other nations,other services, and other governmental agencies and nongovernmental organizations as early aspossible in their careers. Scales has proposed that the Army take advantage of web-basedcapabilities to establish collaborative learning opportunities among officers from the differentservices—something worth considering for multinational partners as well as the joint community:Immediately after commissioning, an officer would become part of a jointseminar of a dozen or so peers from across the services who share a commonspecialty.… Senior educators from middle and higher-level service schoolswould moderate these seminars. Students’ unit commanders would activelyserve as their mentors, responsible for counseling and evaluating theirprogress…. The program would be history based and thoroughly joint. 144The future TLE system must also support the second central idea stressed in the Joint ForceTraining Center—the need to strengthen the joint training global environment. This idea“focuses on materiel changes to create a truly global training domain that combines actual forcesand equipment (live), simulated weapons systems (virtual), and mass force modeling(constructive).” 145 Army plans call for providing commanders the capability to conduct trainingor mission rehearsals simultaneously, at widespread geographic locations, using differentsimulation systems, in a mix of live, virtual, and constructive environments, on an interactivebasis, in preparation for JIM operations. In the future, a greater reliance on constructive andvirtual training environments will facilitate increased participation of other organizations in123
