A key issue at the heart of transforming joint military training, USJFCOM's Joint Warfighting Center continues to develop and implement the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC).

As one of three capabilities identified in the Department of Defense's training transformation plan, this effort broadens and deepens the reach of joint force training.

The other DoD transformation of training initiatives are the Joint Knowledge Development and Distribution Capability (JKDDC), led by the Joint Staff training office, and the Joint Assessment and Enabling Capability (JAEC), led by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Personnel and Readiness Office.

The Joint National Training Capability promises an enhanced way to train that offers joint forces and the services a potential spectrum of live, virtual and constructive (L-V-C) training environments.

• Live = real people in real locations using real equipment
• Virtual Simulation = real people in simulators
• Constructive Simulation = simulated entities in a simulated environment

This training transformation creates joint warfighting conditions through a networked collection of interoperable training sites and nodes that synthesize personnel, doctrine and technology to achieve combatant commander and service training requirements. Providing realistic combat training, offering an adaptive and credible opposing force, establishing common ground truth, and giving high quality feedback, are the founding pillars of this capability.
