The Army\u2019s effort included 161 contributing organizations and more than 25 different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise didn\u2019t just address readiness, but took a hard look at how the future force will be postured to fight, and that meant applying a concept to the exercise called operational experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operational experimentation will likely become a crux of many future exercises, Brig. Gen. Joel Tyler, the head of the Army\u2019s Joint Modernization Command, told Defense News at the JWA in Germany in early May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gone are the days of keeping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/global-force-symposium\/2016\/03\/15\/army-tinkers-with-nie-s-future-as-budget-force-size-shrinks\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">a test unit available<\/a> to assess emerging programs of record as the Army did at its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/02\/13\/army-kills-off-network-integration-evaluations-in-fy19-budget-request\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Network Integration Evaluations held at Fort Bliss, Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2018\/03\/26\/the-army-is-already-putting-new-gear-in-soldiers-hands-as-it-builds-its-modernization-command\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/byebyenie.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">The Army is already putting new gear in soldiers\u2019 hands as it builds its modernization command<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The new Army Futures Command is slated for initial operating capability this summer, but acquisition research teams are already down at the unit level to get soldier input on systems that in development.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it\u2019s possible the Army will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/global-force-symposium\/2018\/04\/04\/army-shifting-to-larger-scale-exercises-on-short-notice-to-be-less-predictable\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"_blank\">move further away<\/a> from capability assessments that are conducted in a vacuum via small exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the JWA, the Army <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/global-force-symposium\/2017\/03\/15\/army-renames-experimental-and-prototyping-exercise-heads-to-europe-in-2018\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"_blank\">for the first time<\/a> took an exercise meant for experimentation &#8211; normally held in a controlled training site stateside &#8211; and brought it to a complex, operationally relevant environment. And since the U.S. will never fight alone, it made the assessment both joint and multinational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou get some young hooah soldiers out there that are well-trained in their battle drills and tasks and you give them a concept and capability that enhances their state of training, I think that helps everybody,\u201d Tyler said, adding that those soldiers provide invaluable input when experimenting with new or improved capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think there is enormous benefit both to the development communities, the requirements communities, the concept communities and the training communities on using operational units, aligning operational units with modernization opportunities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JWA will measure the effectiveness of aligning training with modernization, but for Tyler, the concept holds promise and teaches units how to be creative and innovative on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first JWA, the Army assessed 16 capabilities, mostly at Hohenfels and Grafenwoehr training sites, from water purification capabilities to the V-Bat UAV to defensive cyber operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/03\/21\/us-army-successfully-demos-laser-weapon-on-stryker-in-europe\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">directed-energy weapon on a Stryker<\/a> was present, as were a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/electronic-warfare\/2017\/10\/02\/outmatched-army-begins-long-road-to-electronic-warfare-rollout\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"_blank\">electronic warfare capabilities<\/a> that the service is attempting to refine through rigorous unit tests in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army also assessed 11 concepts, from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2017\/08\/25\/us-army-tackles-teaming-robots-and-ground-forces-on-battlefield\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">robotic complex breach<\/a> to a mounted maneuver involving an infantry brigade combat team that included concepts for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/03\/22\/congress-directs-army-to-conduct-light-vehicle-competition-in-fy18-spending-bill\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Ground Mobility Vehicle<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2017\/06\/15\/coming-soon-details-for-the-armys-light-reconnaissance-vehicle\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Light Reconnaissance Vehicle<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2017\/11\/22\/armys-new-light-tank-competition-kicks-off\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Mobile Protected Firepower<\/a> capability &#8211; all in development or being assessed by the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of a multinational network was also assessed at the exercise.

Jim Van Atta, the chief of training and evaluation at the U.S. Army\u2019s Joint Modernization Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Europe, Tyler envisions the JWA expanding to include allies and partners who bring their own concepts and capabilities for assessment, which could in turn bring about more innovation across a multinational force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JWA is a unique exercise that is a \u201charbinger for the future,\u201d Tyler said, \u201cbecause, again, we try to design it with three objectives in mind: training, interoperability and the future force. And being able to influence and inform every one of those is really key to the success of this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Army is headed down a path where
