Matt McKinney, Commander, 505 Combat Training Squadron; Robert Epstein, Commander, Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation; Jeffrey Burdett, Director of Force Development, AF Strategic Integration Group; Merrick Green, Deputy Commander, Warrior Preparation Center; Mike Cosimo, Senior Intelligence Officer, 505 Command and Control Wing; Rick Ruppard, Models & Simulations Director, 505 Combat Training Squadron
An Air Force forum to discuss the challenges of planning and executing a multi-classification, multi-domain, multi-service, and multi-national theater level LVC exercise. Utilizing the BLUE FLAG (BF)/JOINT WARFIGHTER ASSESSMENT (JWA) 2018 Exercise case study, the discussion will highlight the excessive planning requirements and limitations to coalition integration into operational level exercises. This panel will highlight shortfalls to current models and simulations (M&S) to support operational level exercises to execute multi-domain operations and 5th generation requirements. After examining these exercise gaps, this forum will present a future solution through utilizing M&S DevOps and the BLUE FLAG 2.0 concept to discuss ways of incorporating new industry solutions into M&S frameworks.
These concepts will enhance exercise capabilities rapidly to meet Air Force training readiness with our joint and coalition partners. The moderator will present the results of successful M&S DevOps to reach rapid solutions to meet the increasing demand and limitations of current operational level exercises and wargames.
