Robert Abrams, the service\u2019s Forces Command leader, told Defense News in an interview at the Association of the U.S. Army Global Force Symposium on March 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally dubbed the Army Warfighting Assessment, or AWA, the <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=\"selected-link\" target=\"_blank\">construct replaced one of the two Network Integration Evaluations<\/a> held at Fort Bliss, Texas, each year. The first official AWA was held in October 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Army expanded the AWAs to include joint and international partner elements, it renamed the event the Joint Warfighting Assessment, or JWA, and will hold its first event in Europe, where the Army is heavily engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking it even further, the JWA will combine its exercise with the the U.S. Air Force Europe\u2019s Blue Flag exercise as well as U.S. Army Europe\u2019s Combined Resolve X from April 20 through May 9 at Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels, Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that is the way it will be going forward. \u201cStarting this year, we are actually going to leverage existing exercises for JWAs, so we can think about the future and how we might fight in the future,\u201d Abrams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo it\u2019s taking an existing exercise and putting experimentation on top of that. So it\u2019s this idea of advancing new concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a
