 The JWC supports NATO's overall strategic objectives by ensuring that its forces are well-prepared and capable of responding to various global threats and challenges.

The program 

To deliver each full exercise cycle the JWC relies heavily on an Exercise Control (EXCON) structure. EXCON staff members are drawn from several backgrounds and units including JWC staff, NATO component commands, Training Audience (TA) Headquarters, Partner Nations and other augmenters’ positions. EXCON has both direction and control functions which allow it to establish the conditions needed by the TA to achieve the exercise aim and objectives. EXCON size and structure is flexible and is shaped to the requirement of each phase of exercise delivery. When it is not possible to fill a position from military sources, the JWC has the option to source a contractor to fill a position. Not all contracted positions are required for each phase of each exercise.

Role Background

The Intelligence (INTEL) support area simulates the NIFC (NATO Intelligence Fusion Centre). NIFC supports the exercise execution with full-spectrum, multi-domain operational and strategic intelligence, which is enabled by a wide range of intelligence disciplines, simulated national collection capabilities, and relevant subject matter expertise. INTEL creates the situational awareness for EXCON on intelligence matters and provides TAs with a RFI process and an array of resources to maximize training value.

Role Duties and Responsibilities

• Grant robust overall strategic situational awareness

Who we are supporting 

The NATO Joint Warfare Centre (JWC) is a NATO establishment focused on improving the Alliance's operational capabilities through training and exercises. Located in Stavanger, Norway, the JWC plays a critical role in preparing NATO forces for future challenges by:

• Training and Exercises
  • Conducting large-scale, joint operational-level training events, simulations, and exercises to enhance interoperability among NATO member nations.
• Doctrine Development
  • Contributing to the development and refinement of NATO doctrines and concepts by providing feedback and insights from exercises and training activities.
• Operational Support
  • Offering expert support to NATO operations, missions, and exercises, ensuring that lessons learned are integrated into future training and planning.

 The JWC supports NATO's overall strategic objectives by ensuring that its forces are well-prepared and capable of responding to various global threats and challenges.

The program 

To deliver each full exercise cycle the JWC relies heavily on an Exercise Control (EXCON) structure. EXCON staff members are drawn from several backgrounds and units including JWC staff, NATO component commands, Training Audience (TA) Headquarters, Partner Nations and other augmenters’ positions. EXCON has both direction and control functions which allow it to establish the conditions needed by the TA to achieve the exercise aim and objectives. EXCON size and structure is flexible and is shaped to the requirement of each phase of exercise delivery. When it is not possible to fill a position from military sources, the JWC has the option to source a contractor to fill a position. Not all contracted positions are required for each phase of each exercise.

Who we are supporting 

The NATO Joint Warfare Centre (JWC) is a NATO establishment focused on improving the Alliance's operational capabilities through training and exercises. Located in Stavanger, Norway, the JWC plays a critical role in preparing NATO forces for future challenges by:

• Training and Exercises
  • Conducting large-scale, joint operational-level training events, simulations, and exercises to enhance interoperability among NATO member nations.
• Doctrine Development
  • Contributing to the development and refinement of NATO doctrines and concepts by providing feedback and insights from exercises and training activities.

Background

The fundamental intent of creating a 360 setting/scenario is to mimic all levels of interaction on a global scale. In order to simulate outside actors’ influence on EU/NATO actions, fictitious countries are established, with fictitious forces, that would in the real world have some interest in what the NATO campaign is doing. For example, what happens in SACAURs AOR or in an out of area AOR where NATO forces are involved, can cause ripples effects in other parts of the globe, hereby reflected via the 360 setting. In order to simulate these important interactions and relationships, fictitious forces and actors require separate role players. Those can typically involve a Chief of Defence, local commander or similar command structure representative or equivalent civilian leadership. Since interactions are merely answers or inputs to decision and RFIs, a role player can assume multiple roles to meet the effect of the interactions/exercise play.

Role Duties and Responsibilities

• Provide subject matter expertise in the area of military intelligence to realistically represent the exercise scenario to the training audience in interaction with the Affected Nation (i.e. the Nation to which NATO troops have deployed).
• Coordinate intelligence operational matters within team of representatives for the AN and with other AN intelligence representatives.
• Develop a basic Concept of Operations for the representation of intelligence in the conflict, co-ordinating with other intelligence and security representatives, and providing draft tasking for other intelligence representatives. If required, develop and present plans
