The Joint Staff recently promulgated an updated "Joint Training Policy" that "guides joint commanders and senior leaders of joint agencies and programs in developing and coordinating joint training programs for their assigned staffs and organizations, component forces and staffs, and assigned forces to support capabilities-based readiness."

The purpose of the Nov. 19 update was:

To establish the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff policy and guidance for the use of the Joint Training System (JTS) in planning, conducting, and assessing joint training. Training in the context of this instruction aligns with the Department of Defense Strategic Plan for Transforming DOD Training . . . and includes joint training, joint education . . . and job-performance aiding.
