The Joint Warfare Center in Stavanger, Norway, might be half a world away from Afghanistan, but it's where the journey begins for a NATO battle staff headed downrange to fight the war on terrorism.

The JWC relies on exercises like Enabler 2007 to prepare those officers for the challenges that await them in Afghanistan.

"This particular experiment is time-sensitive targeting," said Col. David Royal, an Air Doctrine staff officer with the JWC. "We're trying to build situational awareness using some of these new concepts and tools."

This exercise tests these new tools that will eventually be used in upcoming and bigger exercises at the JWC. It's a way to make sure those new tools are going to be effective when it really counts.

"The future of the NATO alliance, I believe, lies in information management and expansion of technology," said Lt. Col. Chuck Engel, the JWC Lessons Learned branch chief.

"This is an experimentation in using collaborative tools to allow members from different nations to work together in order to achieve the unity of effort and success that's going to be required on the battlefield in the future," he said.
