Description
The Future Joint Command and Staff Training (FJCAST) service will deliver combined collective training exercises to prepare commanders and their staff for contingent operations, in accordance with the Defence Exercise Programme (DXP). The service will develop and deliver exercises that incorporate both simulation and fusion doctrine. It will also integrate training across the five ‘domains’ of military operations: Air, Cyberspace, Land, Maritime and Space. While this requirement is sponsored by Integrated Warfare Centre UK STRATCOM, the contract will potentially cover end users from across MOD. The key deliverables will be command post exercises (CPXs) for a Combined (i.e. multinational) Joint Task Force (JTF) collective training up to and including tiers 3 and 4. These exercises will be both computer-assisted (CAX) and dynamically scripted (i.e. the narrative will depend on what the training audience does during the exercise), and will take place both in the UK and overseas. The military collective training tiers are explained in volume 3 (‘Collective Training’) of Joint Service Publication (JSP) 822, which can be accessed through the UK government website.
