- Title
Bringing Operational Interoperability Assessment to the Endeavors.
- Authors

- Abstract
Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) supports three "Endeavor" multinational interoperability testing exercises: Combined Endeavor (CE).for U.S. European Command, Africa Endeavor (AE) for U.S. Africa Command, and Pacific Endeavor for U.S. Pacific Command. The Endeavor exercises prepare multinational forces in each combatant command's (COCOM's) area of responsibility to form and operate as a coalition in support of full-spectrum operations. This year the focus Of AE and CE has shifted to include assessing the operational interoperability of the various command, control, communications, and computer (C4) systems utilizing a scenario based on full-spectrum operations; testing of multiple command echelons using the mission thread model; and, for CE, a robust network assessment to include realistic traffic loading and simulated cyber attacks to determine the true capabilities of the coalition network. This major shift to an operational interoperability assessment of C4 systems, as opposed to a point-to-point technical testing focus, will be attempted for the first time at AE and CE in 2011 and will form the foundation of the exercises well into the foreseeable future.
