MPE and FMN
• US MPE and NATO FMN born of the same requirement document from COMIJC
• MPE and FMN concepts and implementation plan documents developed in
parallel with close coordination and collaboration
– Both leverage best practices & lessons from ISAF AMN federation, other missions & exercises
– Primary tenet of both: Apply current capabilities, equipment, skills, talent, and TTPs to a mission
network
• #1 challenge: Coordinating national/organizational implementation policies in a
“do no harm” manner to achieve “unity of effort” within a mission network in
pursuit of coalition mission objectives (Goal of CE14 FPC, documented in CE14MN JMEI)
• MPE JMEI Joining Instructions and NFIP Volume 2 Instructions contain the same
protocol standards, IA & Security criteria to create a trusted, protected and
secure federation of mission networks and standards for connecting six partner
“human to human collaboration” core services with each other
– US MPE and NFIP basic protocols, standards and trust criteria cross referenced and match those
referenced and used in ISAF AMN, CE13, CE14 and AC15 JMEI documents.
– ATO* for CE13MN & CE14MN network contributions demonstrated ability to meet foundational
MPE JMEI Joining Instruction and NFIP Instruction protocols, standards and trust criteria

NATO Federated Mission Networking (FMN) and
US Mission Partner Environment (MPE) Discussion Points
--Overall message: NATO FMN efforts and US MPE efforts are cut from the
same cloth and look to achieve similar objectives with similar materiel and
non-materiel tool sets
--Two key challenges within any partner entity:
• Culture change and implementation of organizational versions of MPE or
FMN concept to facilitate use of organizational DOTMLPF and Policy in a
trusted peer to peer coalition mission network environment
• Respective Program Office accreditation and governmental* approval for
release of organizational capabilities and technologies for use in a
mission partner environment with a specific set of mission partners
• Leverage reciprocity or streamline process to obtain or to reuse
accreditations and release* of organizational capabilities and technologies
for subsequent mission network environments with the same or different
sets of mission partners
*e.g. US ITAR = International Trade and Arms Regulation
Key = Managed Deliberate Coordinated Change Among Willing Partners

• Eight options for mission partner participation within a coalition event. Only
one involves “joining” by contributing and federating a mission network with a
“core” mission network provided by a lead HQ or any other mission partner HQ
1) Contribute own network, resourced and governed by mission partner operating with
“Federation of sovereign

of MPE / FMN
Frameworks
– Required: Receipt and full compliance with coalition event lead HQ JMEI documents
2) Request purchase, lease or loan extension of coalition event lead HQ network to own
forces/C2 nodes.
– Compliance with network provider criteria is required, assumes network provider has already fully
complied with coalition event lead HQ JMEI document criteria.
– No direct compliance with lead coalition event HQ JMEI template documents required.
3) Request purchase, lease or loan extension of a network provided by another
coalition event mission partner to own forces/C2 nodes.
– Compliance with network provider criteria is required, assumes network provider has already fully
complied with coalition event lead HQ JMEI document criteria.
– No direct compliance with lead coalition event HQ JMEI template documents required.

options within ANY coalition
Note: Mission partners may utilize a coalition event federation of networks
established to support a specific coalition event without selecting options 1-3:
–
No direct or indirect compliance with lead coalition event HQ JMEI template documents required
for any option below.
–
Data and information may flow to and from option 4-6 mission partner representatives in a variety
of different ways.
4) Embed a small or large force within another mission partner's force.
5) Send augmentees to coalition event HQ or lower echelon HQ or mission
partner HQ as augmentees.
6) Send personnel to coalition event as observers.
7) Advocate and support coalition mission in world forums via a variety of
communications media
8) Some combination of options 4-7.
"Releasable to Event" caveat means information is releasable to all coalition event mission
partners, not just those who contribute networks to a specific coalition federation of networks!!

NATO Federated Mission Networking (FMN) and
US Mission Partner Environment (MPE) Summary
•
Unity of Effort and Speed of Command within a coalition force requires
movement of coalition C5ISR operations and activities off of national or
NATO specific security domains
•
Federated Mission Networking and Mission Partner Environment frameworks
offer option of establishing a primary C2 mission network environment
specific to a mission/exercise/training event
•
–
Use is complementary to, not in place of, existing national, NATO, or other multi-national
network domains
–
Each coalition is different-- leverage common agnostic protocols, standards to establish
trusted and protected connections and compatibility criteria for six collaboration services as
a consistent foundation for each different coalition mission network
No new* equipment, no new skill sets, no new software, no new services, no
new people required to implement FMN and MPE Framework—just a desire
to participate and adjust to mission priorities
–
Partners bring own DOTMLPF capabilities -- whatever they are
–
All are treated the same—as peers-- capacity and size or organizational role does not matter
to security, infrastructure and information assurance accreditation teams.
–
*May require additional sets of current equipment/licenses if re-purposing of existing
equipment/licenses is not practical or available

NATO Federated Mission Networking (FMN) and
US Mission Partner Environment (MPE) Summary
Most difficult challenge to coalition mission planning is coordination and
adjustment of national and NATO policy implementations to establish
mission/exercise specific policies
–
Lessons from ISAF, CE2013, CE2014, IMMEDIATE RESPONSE 14 , CLEVER FERRET 14,
AUSTERE CHALLENGE 2015, any other coalition event planning process
–
Culture and policy adjustments---perform coalition mission tasks on mission network,
national business on national network, business with NGOs and others on Unclassified
networks
Practice and more practice is only tried and true method of increasing trust
among mission partners and reducing time to implement trusted networkenabled information sharing arrangements.
–
Trust can be gained by practice and familiarity with partner DOTMLPF and Policies—practice
must include training audience “6s”!
–
COMBINED ENDEAVOR 2013/2014 & AUSTERE CHALLENGE 15 achieved FMN/MPE

Mission Partner Environment (MPE)
Operational Context: As a standard practice, US Forces use SIPRNet as the
primary warfighting network for operations. In Afghanistan, this constrained the
ability of US commanders to speak with immediacy to all operational commanders
(mission partners)
•
The need to mitigate risk and provide the commanders with strategic, operational and
tactical flexibility spurred the development of the Afghanistan Mission Network (AMN) for
coalition information sharing & mission tasks -- get the “fight” off the SIPRNet
Lessons Learned & Guiding Principles:
•
Operational imperative – unity of effort, enable communications with all mission partners
to execute the Commander’s intent in a single security and releasability environment.
•
MPE is not a single network – it is a framework describing USA contribution(s) to a
federation of partner provided mission specific networks, systems, and TTPs
•
No intent establish a new “program of record” as MPE is not a “thing” to purchase; focus
is on re-purposing existing materiel and non-materiel enablers and capabilities.
•
Alignment with NATO’s Federated Mission Networking (FMN)
“We’re one year away from forgetting everything we learned in Afghanistan.”

MPE Operational Context
•
Lesson Learned: USA use of SIPRNet as primary C2 network during mission partner operations
generates strategic, operational and tactical limitations:
– Forces on different networks with inadequate cross-domain solutions resulted in poor
ops, planning and intelligence information exchange between NATO, U.S. and other
partner forces in ISAF
– Non-materiel DOTMLPF, TTP and Policy solutions as or MORE important than materiel
solutions
•
Need for strategic to tactical human-to-human information exchange in a common language
on same security and releasability level in real time – share by default; classify by exception
•
Consistent DoD ability to employ in-place information sharing, TTP, and operational C4ISR to
support both persistent and episodic (mission specific) operations with mission partners
•
MPE leverages a “federation of sovereign C2 networks” created by the contribution of two or
more nation “mission networks” to establish a mission specific enterprise in which all mission
partners may operate as peers within a single classification and releasability policy
Solution: Move coalition fight off of national networks [SIPRNet]

JMEI Defined
Joining Membership and Exit Instructions
• Not a new idea but a new term generated by ISAF coalition forces
• Old terms: TTPs, SOPS, other named products resulting from exercise
planning process or Crisis Action Planning (CAP) process
• In short, JMEI are a set of documents specific to a mission/exercise that
range from technical implementation guidance to establishment of secure
and trusted peer to peer communications to Mission[Exercise] CONOPS to
OPORDERs and FRAGOs to political guidance to agreements between
partners to Commander's Intent
• Operation [or Exercise] Orders, all OPORDER Annexes and any other
document pertinent to a specific mission or exercise are a part of the
collective set of documents referred to as “JMEI”

MPE JMEI Joining Instructions Definition
MPE JMEI Joining Instructions – A set of mission and partner agnostic documents that describe
basic standards and compliancy criteria to establish a trusted and secure network relationship /
connectivity between US and “coalition of the willing” partners as well as compatibility of six core
collaboration services between network contributing mission partners
US objective: A consistent and repeatable set of MPE JMEI Joining Guidance across Combatant
Commands (CCMD) and Services to describe minimum criteria for technical connections, IA, security,
and six core collaboration services
• Benefit: Services and mission partner ability to train and equip to a standard that is useful
regardless of which US CCMD or contributing mission partner is the lead or what mission is being
executed
• Choice to train and equip forces to JMEI Joining Guidance is a sovereign decision—change(s) in
MPE JMEI Joining Guidance managed and coordinated, not governed, among a “coalition of the
willing”
• US DoD governs US train and equip processes
•
•
•
Content of US MPE JMEI Joining Instructions evolve in a consistent and complementary manner
with NATO Federated Mission Networking Implementation Plan Volume II Instructions
Partner MoDs govern respective train and equip processes
HQ NATO / Existing NATO processes govern train and equip processes to support NATO
Command Structure HQs
“MPE JMEI Joining Instructions contain the common “Lego Blocks” to enable more rapid establishment of trusted
network relationships between any unique set of willing mission partners”

Event Specific JMEI Definition
Event Specific JMEI – A set of documents specific to a mission/exercise
•
Content ranges from technical implementation guidance to Mission/Exercise CONOPS to
OPORDERs/FRAGOs to political guidance to agreements between partners to Commander’s Intent
Starting point: Leverage and reference basic standards and compliancy criteria set in MPE JMEI
Joining Instructions [stated US goal is US MPE consistency with NATO FMN Volume II Instructions]
•
• Generated by mission/exercise lead HQ staff and mission partner reps to address all aspects of a
specific coalition mission or exercise with mission partners under a JTF Commander lead, lead Nation,
or exercise sponsor
•
Event specific JMEI are the products of Crisis Action Planning or a the planning process associated with any
exercise, test, experiment planning process
Benefit: Shape and drive collective DOTMLPF and Policy contributions to achieve mission objectives
via generation of event specific policies, operational procedures, and technical configuration and
security agreements tailored to address unique criteria and circumstances applicable to each mission
and partner set
• Commanders retain flexibility to shape and employ coalition force HQ and DOTMLPF of supporting
forces as they see fit to conduct operations in order to meet assigned objectives
• Mission partners respond to acknowledged leadership role of whomever is mission or exercise
Commander without giving up sovereign rights and responsibilities
Risk to nation by joining XX Mission Network Federation is less than NOT joining in terms of
resources, force protection, mission accomplishment

Why JMEI?
The term “JMEI” came about as HQ ISAF and HQ ISAF Joint Command (IJC) needed to be able
to provide nations [partners] wishing to contribute a national extension to ISAF AMN a
consistent and repeatable package of holistic guidance and procedures
• COMISAF could not “mandate” systems interoperability for the various national C4ISR
systems already in use, so the focus was on generating UNITY OF EFFORT by mandating
human to human collaboration leveraging the most basic standards and technical protocols
•In addition to being able to protect and secure a network to ISAF mission policies the only
other mandated criteria was to be able to communicate with other partners via six “core
services”
• Web browsing, Chat (NATO Standard XMPP technical format mandated), Voice Over IP Telephone
(VOIP), Video Tele-Conferencing over IP (VTCoIP), E-mail (with attachments), and Global Address List
sharing
• The result was an evolution of mission technical and procedural documents from “a
collection of workarounds” to a description of how to “federate” national mission network
contributions into a trusted and protected federation of partner DOTMLPF capabilities and
policies called “Afghan Mission Network”
• Operational and Functional ISAF documents also evolved to reflect operations as a unified coalition
force vice a partnership of multiple independent forces
Non-Materiel (DOT_MLPF) and Policy contributions by NATO and Nations to the ISAF coalition are
the most important contributing factors to ISAF mission success

Repeatable JMEI for MPE / FMN
NATO and a significant number of nations came to same conclusion that operating as a part of a
coalition was most effective and efficient when coalition partners were equal peers within a
“mission network”
•
NATO consideration included coalition partnerships with non-NATO member nations
In order to leverage the “best practices” of ISAF AMN to inform establishment of a future “mission
network” while retaining the flexibility to adapt and adjust to any mission or mission partner set,
basic technical elements of JMEI were separated from mission specific and temporal policy driven
elements
Two categories of JMEI were born
•
JMEI Joining Instructions – A set of mission agnostic documents that describe a nations’ view of
the basic standards and compliancy criteria necessary to establish a trusted and secure network
relationship as well as compatibility of six core collaboration services between network
contributing mission partners (Repeatable and consistent across MPE and FMN documentation)

MPE Operational Metrics
MPE “What”
•
MPE is a framework, a concept of operations. A JIE use case. MPE implementation is
represented by two or more mission partners agreeing to achieve unity of effort by joining
trusted mission networks together to form a federation of networks composed of collective
partner provided policy, transport, systems, applications, security, services and operational
processes..
MPE “So What”
•
Clearly communicate commander’s intent for desired operational effects with all mission
partners
•
Moves the fight off SIPR; allowing US and non-US formations, information, and data to
operate in the same battlespace
•
Greater flexibility in mission and task organizing to fight more effectively
•
US and partners fight with the equipment and TTPs they ALREADY own and train with
•
Addresses CCMD persistent info sharing requirements and JTF episodic events
•
Elevates mission partners to peers and recognizes their sovereignty
•
Defines the level of trust & addresses cyber vulnerabilities upfront

“Third Stack” references
MPE Tier 1 [Enduring] CDP (21 April 2014). Foot Note 16. Figure 2 Page 7
A “Third Stack” is the IT equipment (workstations, routers, security components, servers, applications, and
peripherals, etc.) necessary to establish a mission network that facilitates information sharing with
mission partners. U.S. forces typically deploy with two sets of IT equipment (NIPRNET and SIPRNET) for
the conduct of operations. Additional investment may be required in the event that existing equipment
cannot support a releasable environment for an assigned mission.
FMN 90 Day Study
7.0 TECHNOLOGIES SYNDICATE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (Page 36)
“….The study report recommends the pursuit of a hybrid Tier 1/Tier 2 architecture, adoption of specific configurations
for the six core capabilities within the Tier 2 networks, adoption of a “third stack”19 of FMN-ready servers and end
user equipment at appropriate echelons…..” Footnote 19: Same text as above.
7.1.2.1
Determine system requirements for a third stack capability based on mission thread requirements at
appropriate echelons (including CCDRs, Service-provided CTF HQs, Component Commanders and joint forces), and
integrate their requirements within the JMEI, ISAs and CISMOAs. Those units expected to fill the role of CTF
commander will also include the necessary capabilities to establish an FMN core.
– Environment infrastructure by and large already in place. Any unit with CENTRIXS-”X” capability.
– What is missing from most “third stacks” are warfighting tools
7.1.2.2
Deploy FMN third stacks to applicable units. [The need to deploy FMN third stacks will be reviewed once
the required number of FMN third stacks is determined.]
– One “third stack” already in place for many units/organizations within DoD.
– Supports in place MTs for that unit per ROC/POE. No more, may be less.

BOLD QUEST / NIE 14.2
• “Third stack” is colloquial for “Mission
Network” in which operations are to be
conducted. There will be an physical or
virtual “stack” of equipment for each
network relationship/point of presence at
a given location.

• Eligibility: Who is eligible?
– A mission partner wishing to contribute a network to a coalition federation
of networks MUST be a formal member of a specific coalition event*
– Obvious, but……. Coalition event membership is a political decision with
the only requirement being a statement of support for the coalition X
event task/objective in a world forum.
– Coalition event membership carries no automatic requirement to
contribute either personnel or equipment.
Coalition member ≠ Network Contributor
*Event = Exercise, experiment, test, training event, operational mission

Why form ISAF AMN?
•
Persistent certainties acted upon by COMISAF in January 2010 when designing ISAF Afghan
Mission Network (AMN):
• A coalition Commander only has limited influence over sovereign coalition forces and
respective DOTMLPF-Policy after a coalition is formed
• A coalition Commander has ZERO influence over how those multi-national forces were
trained and equipped prior to mission/exercise execution
•
Share to Win” is more important than “Need to Know” among coalition partners which requires
movement of coalition force mission activities from independent network environments to an
environment in which all mission partners operate together as trusted peers
•
Key objectives of ISAF AMN
• Removal of policy barriers enabling sharing of information and direct collaboration between
NATO provided HQs and national forces supporting ISAF mission
• Mandate only those elements necessary to foster trust and enable “Rel ISAF” human to
human communications between and across all echelons
• Any existing machine to machine or procedural interoperabilities would be leveraged
• A short list of key functional areas necessary to achieve ISAF mission would form basis
of “ISAF Mission Threads”, identified gaps expected to influence subsequent national
train and equip efforts
COMISAF concern: Information exchanged via automated multi-security level guards or manual
processes was neither timely nor achieved with content and context intact --if transferred at all
