Hoskin said no other DOD exercise addressed the operational contract support process to the extent and with the rigor that OCSJX-14 did. It marked the first time the DOD workforce linked multiple logistic support contracting efforts into one exercise: the Air Force Contract Aug- mentation Program (AFCAP), Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) and the Logistic Services Contract of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, all of which DOD officials would work with in this type of scenario.


OCSJX-14 participants, in working through the simulated natural disaster scenario, practiced developing and vali- dating requirements packages, reporting the status of contractors on-site, tracking


the impact to the mission and operation- alizing contracting support to meet the commander’s intent, all by providing hands-on training from seasoned mentors guiding new contracting professionals at the exercise. Tis is the type of training that helps ECC grow skilled professionals in all forms of contracting support.


SKILL SETS Te joint exercises are designed to train both the contracting and noncontracting members of the workforce, Hoskin noted.


“Tis is the first time we created tasks at the strategic level to work COCOM [combatant command] staffs to think about


acquisition laws and rules


which they may want waivers from OSD and Congress to effectively accomplish


the mission,” he said. As an example, he continued, it is important to know what the trigger would be for the COCOM to ask the deputy chief of staff of the Army, G-4 for the authority to execute the LOGCAP and the Air Force for authority to execute the AFCAP global contracts in support of this mission. Tese exercises explore such situations.


Te core themes of OCSJX-14, which focused on growing the next generation of OCS professionals and leaders from all services, were to train and improve OCS capabilities and warrior tasks for all participants.
