Earlier this summer, participants from DoD, coalition partners and other government agencies examined the Capstone Concept for Joint Operations.

I got a chance to sit down with Rear Adm. Dan Davenport who shared some of the insights from that wargame and what it means for the joint warfighter of the future.

MC2 Katrina Parker takes us inside a limited objective experiment designed to look at sharing of information with interagency, multinational and non-government agencies during crisis operations.

Our folks in the Joint Concept Development and Experimentation Directorate worked with the Joint Staff, National Guard Bureau, U.S. Northern Command, U.S. Southern Command, U.S. Pacific Command, U.S. European Command, U.S. Africa Command, U.S. Special Operations Command, the Department of State, the Virginia Emergency Operations Center and the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman.

From the story:

“There is a large coalition of the willing coalescing around this experiment to explore their information sharing techniques.”

Today was a big day for our partners in industry no matter what way you cut it.

MC2(AW) Nikki Carter gave us a preview of an upcoming industry day at the Joint Warfighting Center. This will go down June 13 and was the event Maj. Gen Kamiya was discussing in The New Triad article last week.

We also announced the new multiple award contract winners today. These four companies will be supporting our joint concept development and experimentation work. These multiple award contracts represent a new way for us to do business and helps us get the best value for the command and the American taxpayer.

We’ll have a big announcement tomorrow so be sure to stay tuned.

Good night for now!
