Just-in-Time Multi Mission Airmen/Warfighters (JITMMA/W) at ANG Northern Strike 24-2
Air Force Research Laboratory

Oct. 1, 2024 | 2:57
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) demonstrated progress on the Just-in-Time Multi Mission Airmen/Warfighters (JITMMA/W) project during the ANG Northern Strike 24-2 (NS24-2) exercise. During NS24-2, the Human Effectiveness Directorate’s Warfighter Interactions and Readiness Division (711 HPW/RHW) provided just-in-time training for KC-135 Hot Pit Refueling at the Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airfield in Oscoda, Michigan. The JITMMA/W team focused on an Agile Combat Employment (ACE) scenario at a Forward Operating Base (FOB)/Contingency Location where the appropriate POL/Maintenance (MX) personnel were unavailable but the mission of refueling the aircraft still had to be accomplished.

JITMMA/W empowers Warfighters to execute a broader array of mission tasks in remote, challenging environments while using fewer personnel. It offers on-demand capabilities to address new tasks and situations, enhancing readiness by providing secure, continuous access to training materials and support tools exactly when needed. The exercise provided the team with significant feedback and lessons learned. It enabled the program to make great progress toward providing warfighters with a just-in-time training capability in austere environments.
