Opening of the Joint and Combined Training Capability Centre
The new home for the ADF’s Joint Combined Training Capability Centre (JCTC), was officially opened by the Chief of the Defence Force Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston on November 23.
The role of the centre was to enhance ADF force preparedness and bilateral high-end training such as supporting Mission Rehearsal Exercises (MREs) and major joint and combined exercises.
The JCTC integrates live, virtual and constructive technologies, to simulate combat realism at the tactical level and stimulate command and control systems at the operational level.
In the last eighteen months, JCTC has supported all ADF MREs including MRTF, MTF and SOTG Operation Slipper rotations.
JCTC’s key exercise support has included Talisman Sabre, Pitch Black, Coalition Virtual Flag, Aces North, Swift Eagle, Hamel and the HQ 1 Division Pozieres Prospect command post series of exercises.
The next major joint and combined exercise support event for JCTC will be Exercise Talisman Sabre 11 to be held in July next year, while support to MREs will commence again early in 2011.
