Notice Information

Notice Title

Transparency Notice: Delivery of Exercise Support to Joint Force Headquarters Ex Assegai

Notice Description

In order to mitigate the loss of manpower from delivering Operations whilst training, it is requested that an external agency provides this critical support to Ex ASSEGAI twice per annuum. The breadth of tasks an OLRT is required to execute demand a diverse range of skills, and the variety of countries JFHQ deliver operations in requires an even greater range of scenarios. Professionalising JFHQ's training by using an external agency that specialises in generating crisis response exercises/scenarios with suitably qualified and experienced actors/managers will ensure training is of the highest standard possible without degrading JFHQs ability to deliver Operations. It would also present an opportunity to align JFHQ training with other Government Departments crisis training (FCDO RDT & HRG) and provide a more fused, cross Whitehall (X-WH) training package in line with Defence Fusion Doctrine.
