Ready today and preparing for tomorrow, the U.S. Pacific Command enhances security and promotes peaceful development in the Asia-Pacific region by deterring aggression, responding to crises and fighting to win. PACCOM supports and advances the national policies and interests of the United States in the Pacific while preparing plans, conducting operations, and coordinating activities of the Pacific Command forces. PACCOM is a joint command that is responsible for over 50 percent of the earth's surface including 40 countries, 20 territories and possessions, and 10 U.S. territories.

SOCPAC, as a PACCOM subordinate unified command, conducts joint/combined special

operations and exercises operational control over those in-theater and apportioned Special Operations Forces assigned by PACCOM.

Construct a two-story building. The applied instruction facility will include a large briefing room, individual training/conference rooms, two Joint Exercise Control Group (JECG) areas, a Standing Joint Force Headquarters (SJFHQ) Operations/Training area, a Joint Task Force (JTF) Mission Rehearsal Room, a Temporary Secure Working Area (TSWA), an After Action Review (AAR) work area, a video teleconferencing (VTC) room, technical control room, master media control room, telecommunications rooms, break area, computer room, Joint Experimentation laboratory, a multi-media studio, equipment storage area, restrooms, and utility rooms. The administrative offices will house 136 permanent party and contractor personnel and includes space for a directorate conference room, Information Technology (IT) rooms, senior mentor office space, restrooms, and utility

rooms.

The proposed building will have classified and unclassified local area network (LAN) systems: secure and non-secure telephone systems and VTC networks; cable television (CATV); raised flooring for the Information Technology (IT) rooms, the JECGS, the TSWA, the technical control room, the telecommunications rooms, the joint experimentation lab, and the master media control room; air conditioning; uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to critical areas; emergency generator; and electrical and civil (water/sewer). Built

in equipment includes theater seating, elevator, security system, raised flooring, and UPS.

Sustainable principles will be integrated into the design, development, and construction of the project in accordance with Executive Order 13123 and other laws and Executive Orders.

This project constructs a new Pacific Warfighting Center for Training, Analysis,
Simulation, Conferences, and Decision Support in USPACOM.
(Current Mission)

REQUIREMENT:

m2

A dedicated, state-of-the-art operations, training, conference, and administrative facility is required to correct USPACOM's current shortfall in the capability to develop and implement transformational training concepts and infrastructure to prepare US forces for effects-based operations of the future.

SUMMARY OF PACIFIC WARFIGHTING CENTER CAPABILITIES:

Annually support

Stand-alone simulation for 4 to 6 Tier I (Combatant Command), Tier II (Joint Task Force), and Tier III (Component Command) computer-aided, joint/combined CPXS Standing Joint Force Headquarters recurring operations and training events and overflow operational spaces during real-world crisis action deployments

No-notice and short-notice JTF mission rehearsal activities

3 to 4 deliberate OPLAN and rapid ad-hoc crisis analysis projects

8 to 12 deliberate war plan forces, logistics, and transportation deployment data conferences

- 5 to 7 mid to high-level seminar games

USPACOM node to analyze open source information through the Virtual Information Center INTERNET-based Theater Security Cooperation portal via the Asia Pacific Area Network Secure location for USPACOM and Component staff training, and for joint. interagency, and multinational conferences

Dynamic, capabilities-based learning environment for the full spectrum of joint, interagency, and multinational operations

PWC will fill an immediate need for an Asia-Pacific regional training, operations, analysis, and simulation facility to serve as the key node in the Asia-Pacific Theater

on DoD's global network of Live, Virtual, and Constructive training enablers that create the Joint National Training Capability. Accordingly, PWC will be on par, fully integrated with, and extend the capability of JPCOM's Joint Training Analysis and Simulation Center (JTASC) and EUCOM's Warrior Preparation Center. Throughout the region, PWC will link with current and future simulation centers, including the Korean Battle and Air Simulation Centers, I Corps' Battle Simulations Center, and III MEF'S Tactical Exercise facility.

Nor can

J08's functional requirements to execute assigned missions beyond FY06 will continue to increase. In particular, USPACOM's Joint Training Program priorities for FYOS to PY09 include 22 exercises annually. Yet, J08's existing administrative and applied instruction spaces at Camp Smith cannot meet projected functional requirements. USPACOM develop and implement transformational training concepts and infrastructure to prepare US forces for effects-based operations of the future. Therefore, a new warfighting center for training, analysis, simulation, mission rehearsal, conferences, and decision support in USPACOM is required.

CURRENT SITUATION:

USPACOM's current facilities for support of the Joint/Combined Training Program are inadequate, antiquated, and deteriorating.

In spring 1999, the Deputy Commander, USPACOM implemented a plan to steadily increase JOB's capabilities through FY03 to create a world class warfighting, analysis, and decision support center that supports and executes USPACOM's security cooperation, crisis response, and warfighting missions, thus meeting the rapidly expanding requirements of the Commander, USPACOM, Component and Subordinate Unified Commanders, and associated staffe.

The

308 currently occupies space in 3 buildings at Camp Smith for a total of 1,108 m2. Director and staff work in 3 rooms on the 3rd floor of Building 2C (86m2), the Knowledge Enterprise and Technology Center uses 2 rooms in Building 4, the Decision Support Division uses 2 rooms in Building 4, the Research and Analysis Division uses one room in the basement of Building 5, and the Exercise Simulation Division occupies the rest of the basement and the first floor of Building 5. Buildings 2C, 4, and 5 are reinforced concrete buildings constructed in 1942 and were originally part of the hospital. Because Building 5 facility was considered marginally adequate in 1998, J08's Exercise and Seminar Gaming activities were not included in the scope of MILCON Project P-112, US Pacific Command Headquarters. Instead, only the J08 Director, director staff, and the Research and Analysis Division were included in P-112's functional requirements. After the new USPACOM headquarters (P-112) design was well underway, JO8 was assigned three new missions. Joint Task Force (JTP) mission rehearsal, command open source information exploitation, and the PACOM learning environment. Moreover, three more new J08 missions
