This overview discusses the importance of improving operational capability via Network Enabled Capability (NEC). It emphasizes the need for enhancing how information is shared and used across various military operations. Clive Mann, an expert with 21 years in the RAF, underscores NEC tenets such as information sharing, collaborative decision-making, and synchronized effects in the battlespace. Training shortfalls revealed by operations like Allied Force and TELIC are analyzed, highlighting the importance of joint and interoperability training. The document suggests revisiting training design to align with real-world scenarios.

NEC Tenets • Information is shared • All users have an awareness of each other’s perception of the battle-space • Decisions are made collaboratively • Effects within the battle-space are synchronised

Training Shortfalls - Op Allied Force • “Operation Allied Force validated the need for joint, integrated training among the Services to enhance their ability to execute both joint and coalition operations.” • “Operation Allied Force underscores the criticality of joint doctrine, interoperability training, and supporting Service doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures. Greater emphasis must be placed on interoperability training among our own forces, with those of our allies, other nations, and partners, as well as on interagency training within our Government.” • Common Threads • Lack of joint/interoperability training • Lack of system(s) compatibility
Training Shortfalls -Op TELIC • “UK personnel must be better prepared for their C2 appointments.” • “Training the people who are going to conduct the operation in as realistic an environment as possible with the equipment and procedures that they will be using is worth the effort and cost.” • “UK forces must train as they expect to fight.” • “UK staff deployed to US HQs must be completely familiar with the procedures and applications in use” • Common Threads • Lack of joint/interoperability training • Lack of system(s) compatibility
One possible solution: • Not ‘rocket’ science………. • Re-visit how we train/design training • Model ‘system of systems’ • Exercise ‘system of systems’ • Individual • Team • Collective

Last Words: Training counts Capability is as dependent upon the proficiency of people as it is upon the hardware with which they fight. We need training superiority as much as we need technical superiority. We don’t count training We measure process, not proficiency,and what you don’t measure or report, you can ignore.
