Mission: Develop and train the Warfighter in networked datalink interoperability concepts and procedures for the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) in order to meet Joint and Coalition Commanders’ enduring and emerging mission needs.

The Joint Interoperability & Data Link Training Center(JID-TC) teaches students to plan, establish, and manage the data link interfaces that connect and share a common picture within a Joint Task Force (JTF) and/or functional component HQs with multinational forces and other organizations. JID-TC courses also introduce the student to the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) on advances in networked warfare and emergent capabilities to achieve interdependence and operational effectiveness. The training includes, but is not limited to, Joint Interface Control Officer (JICO) prerequisite knowledge and skills for integration and interoperability of Tactical Data Links (TDL) within the Multi-TDL Network (MTN) to contribute to the Common Tactical Picture (CTP) and planning and management of tactical data through gateways or extended interfaces to support the Joint Data Network (JDN). The JID-TC provides operational support to CCMDs, services, Defense Agencies, and coalition partners on the employment, planning, and management of tactical data links.
