• This upper left diagram combines all the National “train and equip” activities described on the preceding slides.

• In other words, this is the process and governance by which the US (or other nation) will train and equip US HQs and US joint forces.

• Train and equip includes exercises, experiments, test and training events as well as coalition mission experience(s).

The term “Governance” applies only within US DoD Processes and Command Structure AND the

willingness of US national leadership to comply with FMN/MPE JMEI

template criteria during train and equip process

• “Governance” applies to each of the triangles below in as much as each coalition event will have a lead or a commander who “sets the rules and business processes for a particular event.

• COMISAF and NATO provide foundation for AMN federation governance, this “command” or “lead” authority over resources of another mission partner does not exist external to a coalition event.

• Participation in an event is a political choice• Whether or not to contribute a national extension network to a federation of networks supporting a

specific coalition event is also a political decision, followed by technical and operational actions.
