Who we are supporting

The NATO Joint Warfare Centre (JWC) is a NATO establishment focused on improving the Alliance's operational capabilities through training and exercises. Located in Stavanger, Norway, the JWC plays a critical role in preparing NATO forces for future challenges by:

  • Training and Exercises
    • Conducting large-scale, joint operational-level training events, simulations, and exercises to enhance interoperability among NATO member nations.
  • Doctrine Development
    • Contributing to the development and refinement of NATO doctrines and concepts by providing feedback and insights from exercises and training activities.
  • Operational Support
    • Offering expert support to NATO operations, missions, and exercises, ensuring that lessons learned are integrated into future training and planning.

The JWC supports NATO's overall strategic objectives by ensuring that its forces are well-prepared and capable of responding to various global threats and challenges.

The program

To deliver each full exercise cycle the JWC relies heavily on an Exercise Control (EXCON) structure. EXCON staff members are drawn from several backgrounds and units including JWC staff, NATO component commands, Training Audience (TA) Headquarters, Partner Nations and other augmenters' positions. EXCON has both direction and control functions which allow it to establish the conditions needed by the TA to achieve the exercise aim and objectives. EXCON size and structure is flexible and is shaped to the requirement of each phase of exercise delivery. When it is not possible to fill a position from military sources, the JWC has the option to source a contractor to fill a position. Not all contracted positions are required for each phase of each exercise.

Role Background

Engagement as Short Term Operational support for specific exercise events as Subject Matter Expert (SMEs) fulfilling one of the Exercise Play Functions (EPFs) as role players in the Exercise Control Organization (EXCON). Each exercise will have a unique combination of EPFs depending on the scenario and exercise design.

Role Duties and Responsibilities

  • As a member of the JWC HICON team, develop Strategic and Operational level dilemmas within the exercise content and play.
  • Understand exercise and training objectives (EOs / TOs) and ensure their representation of the scenario supports the training audience's achievement of those objectives.
  • Generate appropriate exercise material to provide a challenging and realistic problem set to the TA.
  • Coordinate and de-conflict all injects with other EXCON cells (the JWC Media Team, INTEL etc.) to maintain communication and coherence within the exercise.
  • Produce agendas, written speaking notes and minutes of meetings in support of scenario development, communication/coordination and knowledge management.
  • Assist JWC in the development of strategic and operational level scenario documents tailored to the TA and the respective exercise.
  • Update and amend exercise strategic/operational level and scenario documentation during the course of the exercise to ensure training objectives are facilitated.
  • Monitor training audience activity and output to provide timely feedback to JWC Exercise Control staff to amend and adapt the exercise as required.
  • Attend daily coordination meetings as dictated by the EXCON battle rhythm and Chief HICON, providing SME advice as required.
  • Undertake any other duties as directed by the JWC HICON staff as reasonably expected within the exercise.
  • Make solicited recommendations to the JWC Exercise Control team.
  • Supply updates to JWC exercise documentation to ensure representation of latest doctrine/TTPs in area of subject matter expertise.
  • Make recommendations to JWC TDD in support of updates to doctrine and TTPs.
  • Provide feedback throughout the exercises process and formally via the lessons learned process to both JWC permanent staff and other involved exercise players.
  • Advise on/assist HICON in identifying lessons learned and contribute to the lessons learned process.
  • Perform additional duties as directed by Chief HICON.
  • Bring NATO SPACE experience of NATO Joint political-military, strategic and operational level to JWC exercises.
