JOINT FIRES AND EFFECTS TRAINER SYSTEM

(JFETS)

We currently rely on service component schools to inform on

service capabilities, and train component elements of the

joint fires team

Operations Enduring Freedom and

Iraqi Freedom . . . demonstrated the

warfighting potential of Integrated

Joint Fires!

. . . and that complex military operations must be trained:

Joint Fires and Effects Trainer System (JFETS)

JFETS – Transformational Training for Joint Fires and Effects Integration

System Description

• Develop into a training system that enables decision making in a centric operational environment

• Consists of a Fires and Effects Command Module, Call for Fire Trainer, (Open Terrain Module, Urban Terrain Module), and After Action Report Module

• Provides training for

Universal Observer

Fires and Effects Coordination Cell at all levels

JFETS – Any Observer, Any Effect, In Any Environment

Joint Fires and Effects Trainer System (JFETS)

(OTM) Open Terrain Module The Universal Observer must master the skills necessary to sense high-payoff targets and engage the adversary with an appropriate mix of Joint fires and effects

(UTM) Urban Terrain Module Employment of fires and effects in urban terrain is the most challenging. The requirement to limit collateral damage and non-combatant casualties places tremendous demands on the observer

The FECM trains commanders and battle staffs to plan and coordinate the application of lethal and non-lethal Joint capabilities. The FECM enables Joint, Interagency and Multinational Fires and Effects coordination and integration

The Entrance & After Action Report Module Areas provide a welcome area for visitors and trainees to receive initial briefings on the use of the facility, and provides the trainee with a synopsis of the training session in any one of the modules where he participates
