Senior Official within Ministry of Public Works, Transport, Infrastructure and Telecommunicatio[...]

Overview

Senior Official within Ministry of Public Works, Transport, Infrastructure and Telecommunications or equivalent of the Affected Nation (AN).

Role Background

The JWC Grey Cell (GYC) and SIDECON RC are exercise response cells where GYC acts on behalf of non-NATO entities, countries and SIDECON on behalf of NATO countries / allies. During the planning process, they can be requested to contribute to all phases of JWC-directed exercises (ref Bi-Sc75-003). Grey Cell also represents organizations outside of the NATO command structure and additionally supports Cross Cutting Topics. National government or local governmental representatives are embedded in both Grey and SIDONCE cells.

The JWC program relies on an Exercise Control (EXCON) structure to deliver each full exercise cycle. EXCON staff members are drawn from the JWC, NATO component commands, Training Audience (TA) Headquarters, Partner Nations and other augmenters’ positions. EXCON provides direction and control to establish the conditions needed by the TA to achieve exercise aims and objectives. EXCON size and structure is flexible and is shaped to the requirement of each phase of exercise delivery. When it is not possible to fill a position from military sources, the JWC has the option to source a contractor to fill a position. Not all contracted positions are required for each phase of each exercise.
