JTLS in Korea

JTLS is used by ROK AU(Air University)

To give an experience for joint warfare to students of AU
 Joint operations : important factor in modern warfare

Especially, air fighter & commander required joint concept
 JTLS is a unique joint theater level simulation

ROK AU

The supreme professional military education org. for air
force offices

3 courses
 SOC - Squadron Officer Course
 CSC - Command Staff Course
10~15 foreign
officers join
annually
 Pre-commander course

JTLS in Korea

War-gamming practice in AU

Why performed?
 To give a realistic experience for warfare

How to perform?
 1-week war-gamming practice using JTLS


Concept(2 days) – Practice by JTLS(3~5 days) – AAR(1 day)
Why JTLS?
 JTLS is a unique joint theater level simulation

How many times?
 Every curriculum of AU performs war-gamming practice
 7 times practices are performed annually

4 SOC, 1 CSC and 2 pre-command courses

ROK JCS’s Plan to support CAX

ROK-US Combined/Joint exercises
Exercises
Audience, Objective and Method
• ROK-US combined military and ROK government
- Military: warfighting commands of corps and the higher echelon
UFG
• Exercise for full spectrum of conflict in Korea
- Crisis Management, Transition to War, Defense, Dominate, and
Stability Operations
* Ulchi : a famous general of
Ulchi Focus Guardians
ancient Korea
• CPX using constructive simulation + Virtual(Specific area)
• ROK-US combined/joint staffs
including above corps equivalent
ROK-US Combined Forces Command
KR/FE
• Exercise for CFC readiness
Key Resolve/Foal Eagle
- RSOI of US wartime reinforcement
(Reception, Staging, Onward Movement & Integration)
• CPX using constructive simulation + FTX(Specific area)

ROK JCS’s Plan to support CAX

Environment of Korean theater

Physical Characteristics
 Peninsula : water on three sides
 Tides : west extreme, east moderate
 Mountainous : limited mobility corridors
 Weather : four seasons
 Extensive urban sprawl in the south
 Transportation networks :
good in the south, poor in the north

Military Factors

Predominantly land theater

Air support can be decisive

Naval operations exert heavy influence

Amphibious turning movements

Extensive SOF infiltration by land, air, & sea

ROK JCS’s Plan to support CAX

Modeling Challenges

Multiple echelons in the training audience
 ROK & US warfighting commands above corps equivalent

Greatest modeling challenge:
 Land forces : large number, multiple echelons

App. 55 friendly and 160 opposing div. & separate brigades

Theater counter fire operations : requires high resolution
 Naval : five carrier strike groups plus numerous other
air, surface, and sub-surface operations, NSW, MCM
Mine Counter Measure
Naval Special Warfare

Multi-divisions for amphibious operations
 Air : 2,000 ~3,000 friendly sorties per day
 Numerous opposing SOF missions and TBM launches
 High resolution collateral and compartmented intelligence portrayal
