Abstract

The Environment Development Branch (ED), United States Joint Staff J7 (JS J7), formerly the Joint Forces Command (JFCOM) J7, supports a variety of simulation environment development activities in concert with NATO and Partnership for Peace (PfP) countries. Recent activities include development of the NATO Training Federation (NTF) in support of an experiment running in parallel with the “traditional” Southeastern Europe Simulation (SEESIM) training exercise, support for NATO Research & Technology Organization (RTO) Task Group MSG-106, Enhanced CAX Architecture, Design and Methodology, and development of NTF to support NATO Joint Force training. This paper introduces each of these activities, discusses synergies achieved among them, and addresses the influence JS J7 participation in NATO/PfP activities has had on ED development activities in support of US Joint Force training.
