The JTLS-GO Development Team has had a busy year. Between exercise support, model development, and an office move, the entire Development Team has not had a spare minute since our March, 2024 International User Conference. Our office of 17 years has moved from the Del Rey Oaks location to a more compact office in the city of Pacific Grove. Pacific Grove is one of the seven cities that make up the beautiful Monterey Peninsula, so the actual move was not very far. It was simply surprising how much "stuff" can be accumulated in 17 years.

In keeping with the theme of change, the venue for the 2025 IUC is also changing to the Monterey Hilton Garden Inn. The Conference Team has negotiated more reasonable room rates and ease of obtaining room reservations.

An essential component of the IUC is the opportunity for all users to become acquainted, share their JTLS-GO experiences, and identify capabilities they would like to see in future versions of the simulation. User presentations, technical discussions, and demonstrations are scheduled for this event. We expect the highlights of the 2025 Conference will include demonstrations of:

  • >The new expanded JTLS-GO Training Room
  • >New JTLS-GO Order of Battle Service (OBS) Fusion Tool used to partially create a JTLS-GO scenario from a JS/J7 Joint Training Data Services OBS file.
  • >The link to MUSE for simulated full motion video
  • >The new WHIP and DDSC map capability
  • >The new shared user environment which eliminates the need for several users to have access to the JTLS user account during execution.

JTLS-GO user organizations are invited to request a briefing slot. An overview of how your organization uses JTLS-GO, future plans for JTLS-GO, and the improvements desired for the system would all be of interest to the conference participants.

The entire JTLS-GO Team looks forward to your participation. With our best regards, the JTLS-GO Conference Staff.
