JBTEC Center open for education in Colorado Springs19th September 2008; Colorado Springs, COLt. General Henry "Trey" Obering, Missile Defense Agency Director, announced the opening of the Joint Ballistic Missile Defense System Training and Education Center in Colorado Springs CO. "The JBTEC mission is to provide a Warfighter Support Center conducting Ballistic Missile Defense System (BDMS) training and education for national leaders, services, Combatant Commands (COCOMs), the MDA community and selected foreign nationals." The importance of ballistic missile defense education and training has grown substantially within the past five years with more focus on operator training and acknowledging the training needs of our missile defense international partners. Two members of MTSI's Team based on Colorado Springs CO, Dave "Mick" Micheletti and Dr. George Sheehan, were instrumental in helping to facilitate the government's year-long efforts to secure the facility, provide technical program management, lead working sessions, and oversee the relocation of instructors to their new operating location. Mick took the lead on many aspects of the projects to ensure key stakeholders at the Missile Defense Integrated Operations Center, Schriever AFB CO, as well as the Government Services Administration (GSA) were all engaged, identifying and resolving issues, and keeping upper-level management informed of progress. Mick was recognized for saving MDA over $100K in furniture costs by aggressively securing needed furniture items from another DoD organization that was directed to shut down and relocate operations outside of CO. MTSI also played a key role in creating and submitting the necessary documentation for proper IT certifications & accreditations from the Defense Information Services Agency (DISA) and the local Information Assurance Designated Approval Authority. MTSI is proud to have been part of a significant advancement in pursuit of integrated and consolidated ballistic missile defense training. JBTEC education and training combines ballistic missile defense system-level education with individual hands-on training in operationally realistic environments to support the joint training needs of the combatant commander. Some of the 130 courses scheduled by the end of the year include the BMDS Staff Course, Command, Control, Battle Management (C2BMC) Situational Awareness, Planner and Sensor Manager courses. |
