Mission Partner Environment (MPE)

Operational Context: As a standard practice, US Forces use SIPRNet as the primary warfighting network for operations. In Afghanistan, this constrained the ability of US commanders to speak with immediacy to all operational commanders (mission partners)

• The need to mitigate risk and provide the commanders with strategic, operational and tactical flexibility spurred the development of the Afghanistan Mission Network (AMN) for coalition information sharing & mission tasks -- get the “fight” off the SIPRNet

Lessons Learned & Guiding Principles:

• Operational imperative – unity of effort, enable communications with all mission partners to execute the Commander’s intent in a single security and releasability environment.

• MPE is not a single network – it is a framework describing USA contribution(s) to a federation of partner provided mission specific networks, systems, and TTPs

• No intent establish a new “program of record” as MPE is not a “thing” to purchase; focus is on re-purposing existing materiel and non-materiel enablers and capabilities.

• Alignment with NATO’s Federated Mission Networking (FMN)

“We’re one year away from forgetting everything we learned in Afghanistan.” Iron Major, USMC - Communications Officer 4

• Lesson Learned: USA use of SIPRNet as primary C2 network during mission partner operations generates strategic, operational and tactical limitations:– Forces on different networks with inadequate cross-domain solutions resulted in poor

ops, planning and intelligence information exchange between NATO, U.S. and other partner forces in ISAF

– Non-materiel DOTMLPF, TTP and Policy solutions as or MORE important than materiel solutions

• Need for strategic to tactical human-to-human information exchange in a common language on same security and releasability level in real time – share by default; classify by exception

• Consistent DoD ability to employ in-place information sharing, TTP, and operational C4ISR to support both persistent and episodic (mission specific) operations with mission partners

• MPE leverages a “federation of sovereign C2 networks” created by the contribution of two or more nation “mission networks” to establish a mission specific enterprise in which all mission partners may operate as peers within a single classification and releasability policy

MPE Enduring and Episodic Definitions

7 UNCLASSIFIED

“US and Mission Partners collaborate in Mission Partner Environment (MPE) Enduring environments day to day with the capability to transition to conducting operations within a MPE Episodic for any operation”

Application of MPE Principles and Network Relationships and Characteristics differ

(known steady state relationships vs. unknown situation shaped coalition membership)

• MPE Enduring: Strategic Level (information sharing & planning)– Asynchronous and non-real time information sharing

– Persistent – time not a factor

– Specified Mission Partners (bilateral or multi-lateral “Communities of Interest)

– Combatant Command (CCMD) HQ capabilities for Mission Partner engagement/planning

– Technologically dependent

– Integrated with and enabled by Joint Information Environment (JIE)

• MPE Episodic: Operational to Tactical Level (Conduct Operations)– Synchronous and near-real-time or real-time conduct of operational mission tasks

– Episodic – time to establish always a factor

– Mission Focused (exercise or contingency operation)

– Unknown mission partners, emergent mission; unknown duration

– JTF and component capabilities for peer to peer Mission Partner operations

– US may not be lead; but must leverage JIE to contribute DOTMLPF, P & TTP to coalition

MPE and FMN• US MPE and NATO FMN born of the same requirement document from COMIJC

• MPE and FMN concepts and implementation plan documents developed in parallel with close coordination and collaboration

– Both leverage best practices & lessons from ISAF AMN federation, other missions & exercises

– Primary tenet of both: Apply current capabilities, equipment, skills, talent, and TTPs to a mission network

• #1 challenge: Coordinating national/organizational implementation policies in a “do no harm” manner to achieve “unity of effort” within a mission network in pursuit of coalition mission objectives (Goal of CE14 FPC, documented in CE14MN JMEI)

• MPE JMEI Joining Instructions and NFIP Volume 2 Instructions contain the same protocol standards, IA & Security criteria to create a trusted, protected and secure federation of mission networks and standards for connecting six partner “human to human collaboration” core services with each other

– US MPE and NFIP basic protocols, standards and trust criteria cross referenced and match those referenced and used in ISAF AMN, CE13, CE14 and AC15 JMEI documents.

– ATO* for CE13MN & CE14MN network contributions demonstrated ability to meet foundational MPE JMEI Joining Instruction and NFIP Instruction protocols, standards and trust criteria

*ATO = Authority To Operate

NATO Federated Mission Networking (FMN) and US Mission Partner Environment (MPE) Discussion Points

--Overall message: NATO FMN efforts and US MPE efforts are cut from the same cloth and look to achieve similar objectives with similar materiel and non-materiel tool sets

--Two key challenges within any partner entity:• Culture change and implementation of organizational versions of MPE or

FMN concept to facilitate use of organizational DOTMLPF and Policy in a trusted peer to peer coalition mission network environment

• Respective Program Office accreditation and governmental* approval for release of organizational capabilities and technologies for use in a mission partner environment with a specific set of mission partners

• Leverage reciprocity or streamline process to obtain or to reuse accreditations and release* of organizational capabilities and technologies for subsequent mission network environments with the same or different sets of mission partners

*e.g. US ITAR = International Trade and Arms Regulation

Page 19: Mission Partner Environment (MPE) and NATO Federated Mission Networking (FMN) Update Combined Joint Operations From the Sea 11 May 2015 Joint Staff JS

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIEDCannot “Surge” or “Pre-determine” Trust

• Unity of Effort and Speed of Command within a coalition force requires movement of coalition C5ISR operations and activities off of national or NATO specific security domains

• Federated Mission Networking and Mission Partner Environment frameworks offer option of establishing a primary C2 mission network environment specific to a mission/exercise/training event

– Use is complementary to, not in place of, existing national, NATO, or other multi-national network domains

– Each coalition is different-- leverage common agnostic protocols, standards to establish trusted and protected connections and compatibility criteria for six collaboration services as a consistent foundation for each different coalition mission network

• No new* equipment, no new skill sets, no new software, no new services, no new people required to implement FMN and MPE Framework—just a desire to participate and adjust to mission priorities

– Partners bring own DOTMLPF capabilities -- whatever they are

– All are treated the same—as peers-- capacity and size or organizational role does not matter to security, infrastructure and information assurance accreditation teams.

– *May require additional sets of current equipment/licenses if re-purposing of existing equipment/licenses is not practical or available

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIEDCannot “Surge” or “Pre-determine” Trust

• Most difficult challenge to coalition mission planning is coordination and adjustment of national and NATO policy implementations to establish mission/exercise specific policies

– Lessons from ISAF, CE2013, CE2014, IMMEDIATE RESPONSE 14 , CLEVER FERRET 14, AUSTERE CHALLENGE 2015, any other coalition event planning process

– Culture and policy adjustments---perform coalition mission tasks on mission network, national business on national network, business with NGOs and others on Unclassified networks

• Practice and more practice is only tried and true method of increasing trust among mission partners and reducing time to implement trusted network-enabled information sharing arrangements.

– Trust can be gained by practice and familiarity with partner DOTMLPF and Policies—practice must include training audience “6s”!

– COMBINED ENDEAVOR 2013/2014 & AUSTERE CHALLENGE 15 achieved FMN/MPE objectives with current DOTMLPF and Policies

Roles, Responsibilities and Relationship options within ANY

coalition

• Eight options for mission partner participation within a coalition event. Only one involves “joining” by contributing and federating a mission network with a “core” mission network provided by a lead HQ or any other mission partner HQ

1) Contribute own network, resourced and governed by mission partner operating with a "Releasable to Coalition Event Name" caveat. – Required: Receipt and full compliance with coalition event lead HQ JMEI documents

2) Request purchase, lease or loan extension of coalition event lead HQ network to own forces/C2 nodes. – Compliance with network provider criteria is required, assumes network provider has already fully

complied with coalition event lead HQ JMEI document criteria.

– No direct compliance with lead coalition event HQ JMEI template documents required.

3) Request purchase, lease or loan extension of a network provided by another coalition event mission partner to own forces/C2 nodes. – Compliance with network provider criteria is required, assumes network provider has already fully

complied with coalition event lead HQ JMEI document criteria.

– No direct compliance with lead coalition event HQ JMEI template documents required.

• Note: Mission partners may utilize a coalition event federation of networks established to support a specific coalition event without selecting options 1-3:

– No direct or indirect compliance with lead coalition event HQ JMEI template documents required for any option below.

– Data and information may flow to and from option 4-6 mission partner representatives in a variety of different ways.

4) Embed a small or large force within another mission partner's force.

5) Send augmentees to coalition event HQ or lower echelon HQ or mission partner HQ as augmentees.

6) Send personnel to coalition event as observers.

7) Advocate and support coalition mission in world forums via a variety of communications media

8) Some combination of options 4-7.

"Releasable to Event" caveat means information is releasable to all coalition event mission partners, not just those who contribute networks to a specific coalition federation of networks!! 24

27 UNCLASSIFIED

Joining Membership and Exit Instructions

• Not a new idea but a new term generated by ISAF coalition forces

• Old terms: TTPs, SOPS, other named products resulting from exercise planning process or Crisis Action Planning (CAP) process

• In short, JMEI are a set of documents specific to a mission/exercise that range from technical implementation guidance to establishment of secure and trusted peer to peer communications to Mission[Exercise] CONOPS to OPORDERs and FRAGOs to political guidance to agreements between partners to Commander's Intent

• Operation [or Exercise] Orders, all OPORDER Annexes and any other document pertinent to a specific mission or exercise are a part of the collective set of documents referred to as “JMEI”

Why JMEI?

28 UNCLASSIFIED

Non-Materiel (DOT_MLPF) and Policy contributions by NATO and Nations to the ISAF coalition are the most important contributing factors to ISAF mission success

The term “JMEI” came about as HQ ISAF and HQ ISAF Joint Command (IJC) needed to be able to provide nations [partners] wishing to contribute a national extension to ISAF AMN a consistent and repeatable package of holistic guidance and procedures

• COMISAF could not “mandate” systems interoperability for the various national C4ISR systems already in use, so the focus was on generating UNITY OF EFFORT by mandating human to human collaboration leveraging the most basic standards and technical protocols

• In addition to being able to protect and secure a network to ISAF mission policies the only other mandated criteria was to be able to communicate with other partners via six “core services”

• Web browsing, Chat (NATO Standard XMPP technical format mandated), Voice Over IP Telephone (VOIP), Video Tele-Conferencing over IP (VTCoIP), E-mail (with attachments), and Global Address List sharing

• The result was an evolution of mission technical and procedural documents from “a collection of workarounds” to a description of how to “federate” national mission network contributions into a trusted and protected federation of partner DOTMLPF capabilities and policies called “Afghan Mission Network”

• Operational and Functional ISAF documents also evolved to reflect operations as a unified coalition force vice a partnership of multiple independent forces

Repeatable JMEI for MPE / FMN

29 UNCLASSIFIED

Exchange and Access made “Practical, Efficient, and Effective” When all Participants are Conducting Operations or Training at the “same Security Classification and Releasability Level”

NATO and a significant number of nations came to same conclusion that operating as a part of a coalition was most effective and efficient when coalition partners were equal peers within a “mission network”

• NATO consideration included coalition partnerships with non-NATO member nations

In order to leverage the “best practices” of ISAF AMN to inform establishment of a future “mission network” while retaining the flexibility to adapt and adjust to any mission or mission partner set, basic technical elements of JMEI were separated from mission specific and temporal policy driven elements

Two categories of JMEI were born

• JMEI Joining Instructions – A set of mission agnostic documents that describe a nations’ view of the basic standards and compliancy criteria necessary to establish a trusted and secure network relationship as well as compatibility of six core collaboration services between network contributing mission partners (Repeatable and consistent across MPE and FMN documentation)

• Event specific JMEI – A set of documents are generated by mission/exercise lead HQ staff and mission partner reps to address all aspects of a specific coalition mission or exercise to include partner agreements regarding compatible implementation of national security, identify and access management and cyber defense policies within a federation of “mission networks”

MPE JMEI Joining Instructions Definition

30 UNCLASSIFIED

“MPE JMEI Joining Instructions contain the common “Lego Blocks” to enable more rapid establishment of trusted network relationships between any unique set of willing mission partners”

MPE JMEI Joining Instructions – A set of mission and partner agnostic documents that describe basic standards and compliancy criteria to establish a trusted and secure network relationship / connectivity between US and “coalition of the willing” partners as well as compatibility of six core collaboration services between network contributing mission partners

US objective: A consistent and repeatable set of MPE JMEI Joining Guidance across Combatant Commands (CCMD) and Services to describe minimum criteria for technical connections, IA, security, and six core collaboration services• Benefit: Services and mission partner ability to train and equip to a standard that is useful

regardless of which US CCMD or contributing mission partner is the lead or what mission is being executed

• Choice to train and equip forces to JMEI Joining Guidance is a sovereign decision—change(s) in MPE JMEI Joining Guidance managed and coordinated, not governed, among a “coalition of the willing”

• US DoD governs US train and equip processes• Content of US MPE JMEI Joining Instructions evolve in a consistent and complementary manner

with NATO Federated Mission Networking Implementation Plan Volume II Instructions• Partner MoDs govern respective train and equip processes• HQ NATO / Existing NATO processes govern train and equip processes to support NATO

Event Specific JMEI Definition

31 UNCLASSIFIED

Event Specific JMEI – A set of documents specific to a mission/exercise• Content ranges from technical implementation guidance to Mission/Exercise CONOPS to

OPORDERs/FRAGOs to political guidance to agreements between partners to Commander’s Intent• Starting point: Leverage and reference basic standards and compliancy criteria set in MPE JMEI

Joining Instructions [stated US goal is US MPE consistency with NATO FMN Volume II Instructions]

•Generated by mission/exercise lead HQ staff and mission partner reps to address all aspects of a specific coalition mission or exercise with mission partners under a JTF Commander lead, lead Nation, or exercise sponsor

• Event specific JMEI are the products of Crisis Action Planning or a the planning process associated with any exercise, test, experiment planning process

Benefit: Shape and drive collective DOTMLPF and Policy contributions to achieve mission objectives via generation of event specific policies, operational procedures, and technical configuration and security agreements tailored to address unique criteria and circumstances applicable to each mission and partner set• Commanders retain flexibility to shape and employ coalition force HQ and DOTMLPF of supporting

forces as they see fit to conduct operations in order to meet assigned objectives • Mission partners respond to acknowledged leadership role of whomever is mission or exercise

Commander without giving up sovereign rights and responsibilities

Risk to nation by joining XX Mission Network Federation is less than NOT joining in terms of resources, force protection, mission accomplishment

The US MPE JMEI Joining Instructions were signed by LTG Mark Bowman, US Joint Staff J6 on 21 August 2104 • Distribution is to any and all partners• Governance and implementation within US DoD to be accomplished via DoD 8110.1

Instruction (Mission Partner Environment (MPE) Information Sharing Capability Implementation for the DoD) signed 25 Nov 2014 by DoD CIO and CJCSI* 5128.1 Mission Partner Environment Executive Steering Committee (MPE ESC) Governance and Management signed 1 October 2014

• Policy. It is DoD policy that: MPE will serve as the framework for operational information sharing between DoD Components and Mission Partners

Governance:• Internal national [US] business pertaining to training and equipping forces per MPE JMEI

Joining Instruction standards• Governance also reflects relationships and influence within a mission or an exercise

Management: • US MPE JMEI Joining Instructions are living documents with updates derived from feedback

received from implementation in coalition events• Change is via agreement, not consensus, among "coalition of the willing" to ensure coherent,

cooperative and deliberate change management process for minimum criteria for technical connections, IA, security, and six core services with as many partners as possible given sovereign decisions and political desires

• All changes deliberately made in close coordination with “coalition of the willing” contributors (Management vice Governance)

• Unilateral changes are/would be counter-productive*CJCSI = Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction

MPE Third Stack Food for Thought

• What is a third stack?

• Applicable to MPE Enduring? MPE Episodic?

• “New” “Different” “Repurposed” Hardware? Software?

• Strategic communications. J3 or J6 perspective?

• Can do” versus “should do”- Priority: Cost savings or operational effectiveness of J3?

• How does it all fit together? (Data storage -- operating system(s) -- work stations – Transport)

• Who provides and sustains?

• Operational Requirements?

• Reuse of DOTMLPF? Policy impacts?

• Product?

“Third Stack” references

MPE Tier 1 [Enduring] CDP (21 April 2014). Foot Note 16. Figure 2 Page 7 A “Third Stack” is the IT equipment (workstations, routers, security components, servers, applications, and peripherals, etc.) necessary to establish a mission network that facilitates information sharing withmission partners. U.S. forces typically deploy with two sets of IT equipment (NIPRNET and SIPRNET) forthe conduct of operations. Additional investment may be required in the event that existing equipmentcannot support a releasable environment for an assigned mission.

FMN 90 Day Study7.0 TECHNOLOGIES SYNDICATE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (Page 36)“….The study report recommends the pursuit of a hybrid Tier 1/Tier 2 architecture, adoption of specific configurations for the six core capabilities within the Tier 2 networks, adoption of a “third stack”19 of FMN-ready servers and end user equipment at appropriate echelons…..” Footnote 19: Same text as above.

7.1.2.1 Determine system requirements for a third stack capability based on mission thread requirements at appropriate echelons (including CCDRs, Service-provided CTF HQs, Component Commanders and joint forces), and integrate their requirements within the JMEI, ISAs and CISMOAs. Those units expected to fill the role of CTF commander will also include the necessary capabilities to establish an FMN core.

– Environment infrastructure by and large already in place. Any unit with CENTRIXS-”X” capability. – What is missing from most “third stacks” are warfighting tools

7.1.2.2 Deploy FMN third stacks to applicable units. [The need to deploy FMN third stacks will be reviewed once the required number of FMN third stacks is determined.]

– One “third stack” already in place for many units/organizations within DoD. – Supports in place MTs for that unit per ROC/POE. No more, may be less.

UNCLASS

• Any event will have as many “stacks” as participants wish to utilize in support of various relationships both internal and external to a specific event or mission.

• “Third stack” is colloquial for “Mission Network” in which operations are to be conducted. There will be an physical or virtual “stack” of equipment for each network relationship/point of presence at a given location.

• BQ/NIE 14 had four networks identified on this slide.

MPE Operational Metrics

MPE “What”• MPE is a framework, a concept of operations. A JIE use case. MPE implementation is

represented by two or more mission partners agreeing to achieve unity of effort by joining trusted mission networks together to form a federation of networks composed of collective partner provided policy, transport, systems, applications, security, services and operational processes..

MPE “So What”• Clearly communicate commander’s intent for desired operational effects with all mission

partners• Moves the fight off SIPR; allowing US and non-US formations, information, and data to operate

in the same battlespace

• Greater flexibility in mission and task organizing to fight more effectively

• US and partners fight with the equipment and TTPs they ALREADY own and train with

• Addresses CCMD persistent info sharing requirements and JTF episodic events

• Elevates mission partners to peers and recognizes their sovereignty

• Defines the level of trust & addresses cyber vulnerabilities upfrontMission Partner Advance Planning, Training, versus Crisis Reaction

Why form ISAF AMN?

48 UNCLASSIFIED

COMISAF concern: Information exchanged via automated multi-security level guards or manual processes was neither timely nor achieved with content and context intact --if transferred at all

• Persistent certainties acted upon by COMISAF in January 2010 when designing ISAF Afghan Mission Network (AMN):

• A coalition Commander only has limited influence over sovereign coalition forces and respective DOTMLPF-Policy after a coalition is formed

• A coalition Commander has ZERO influence over how those multi-national forces were trained and equipped prior to mission/exercise execution

• Share to Win” is more important than “Need to Know” among coalition partners which requires movement of coalition force mission activities from independent network environments to an environment in which all mission partners operate together as trusted peers

• Key objectives of ISAF AMN• Removal of policy barriers enabling sharing of information and direct collaboration between

NATO provided HQs and national forces supporting ISAF mission• Mandate only those elements necessary to foster trust and enable “Rel ISAF” human to

human communications between and across all echelons• Any existing machine to machine or procedural interoperabilities would be leveraged• A short list of key functional areas necessary to achieve ISAF mission would form basis

of “ISAF Mission Threads”, identified gaps expected to influence subsequent national train and equip efforts
