What project 758 buys
Investment in the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) program enables Service and Combatant Commands to train as they operate as part of the overall Joint Force. JNTC provides the technical standards, architecture, and development processes required to integrate/link joint training enablers in programs across the Department of War. The program also supports JNTC Accreditation, Certification, and Mitigation (A/C/M) processes, which are critical for assessing joint training environments, identifying gaps, and implementing mitigation strategies. JNTC Liaisons play a key role in maintaining engagement with Service programs and operationalizing the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC). The capabilities enable simultaneous training at scale, with aggregation of training audiences at the Combatant Command, Joint Task Force, Component Command headquarters, and Service tactical levels. The funding also supports modernization of the Joint Training Environment (JTE) through a Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) approach to include development of a cloud ready, web-accessible Joint Training Platform providing the Joint Training Tool (JTT) and supporting data services that support all phases of an exercise from initiation, force sourcing, planning, design, execution, integration with JLVC, AAR, and analytics of results with Artificial Intelligence (AI). The JTT will increase warfighter access to semi-automated training enablers within the Joint Training Synthetic Environment (JTSE). The JTT will also modernize the automation of Joint Training System (JTS) by incorporating functionality and capabilities of the Joint Training Information Management System (JTIMS). JNTC enables the Department of War to train the Joint Force on the operationalization of the current and future Joint Warfighting Concept and provides more effective training by providing capabilities that replicate the contemporary and future operating environment. Additionally, the program ensures cybersecurity compliance and lifecycle maintenance of JNTC systems to sustain secure and reliable training environments. This program will implement the goals listed in the Joint Operational Training Infrastructure (JOTI).

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
1. Expansion of Joint Training Tool (JTT) Capabilities Objective: Continue enhancing the JTT to meet evolving user needs and operational requirements. • Expand functionality to support additional Combatant Command (CCMD) use cases. • Integrate advanced terrain modeling and dynamic threat data updates to reflect real-time operational…
