Joint Service Training Exercises
Similar to the MISTEX, Joint Service Training Exercises
(JSTEs) provide integrated systems training that incorporates the
challenges of integrating the MACCS in joint operations. JSTE
scenarios have been developed to support joint C 2 training for
probable contingency operations worldwide.
Other Unit Training
In addition to CPX and SIMEX type training, the MACS often
deploys to the field to participate in FTXs. Field training provides
a unit with the most beneficial training opportunities available,
living and operating in conditions similar to that which
would be expected in real world operations.
EVALUATING TRAINING
The success of individual, crew, and unit training must be qualitatively
measured to identify training deficiencies and create a
baseline for designing future training. Evaluation tools to identify
training deficiencies are MCO 3501.9B, MCCRES, and MCO
P3500.19. The MCCRES is a standardized, Headquarters Marine
Corps directed evaluation program designed to measure a unit’s
warfighting readiness. It specifies mission performance standards
(MPS) which agencies are expected to perform during their wartime
mission. MCO P3500.19 specifies individual performance
standards.
