NGA JTS Issues

Lack of JTSSStalled JTP DevelopmentNo Joint Intel Training Continuity------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Do not use JTIMS (rarely used by Intel Community)

• Lack TPOs• Fail to effectively integrate GEOINT M&S

into intelligence training

Issue: Lack of JTSS• Discussion

– In 5 years, 4x assigned, but in-place for 18 months – Lengthy SCI clearance process is primary culprit

• Impact– Cannot allow JTSS into NGA facilities/networks– No continuity of effort for NGA JTS activities– Excessive effort to keep JTSS effectively employed

• Mitigation– Gov’t staff work JTS on part-time basis

• Next Steps– Await clearance process

Issue: Stalled JTP Development• Discussion

– Multiple unsuccessful efforts despite revised AMETL & strong internal/external exercise program

• Impact– Poor prioritization of exercise training effort– Unable to assess training readiness

• Mitigation– Develop interim Director/NGA Training Guidance– Exercise Office continue to solicit NGA training needs

• Next Steps– None, pending availability of JTSS

Issue: No Joint Intel Training Continuity• Discussion

– CCMD, Service & CSA joint intel training forum (JFITC) closed MAY 11; no replacement identified

• Impact– No community focus on joint intel training– Lack of continuity/consistency of needs & solutions– UJTL SN-2 revision overdue—no leadership

• Mitigation– None

• Next Steps– Encourage USDI and/or JS/J2 to take leadership role
