To deliver each full exercise cycle the JWC relies heavily on an Exercise Control (EXCON) structure. EXCON staff members are drawn from several backgrounds and units including JWC staff, NATO component commands, Training Audience (TA) Headquarters, Partner Nations and other augmenters’ positions. EXCON has both direction and control functions which allow it to establish the conditions needed by the TA to achieve the exercise aim and objectives. EXCON size and structure is flexible and is shaped to the requirement of each phase of exercise delivery. When it is not possible to fill a position from military sources, the JWC has the option to source a contractor to fill a position. Not all contracted positions are required for each phase of each exercise .
The JWC Grey Cell (GYC) and SIDECON RC are exercise response cell (RC) where GYC acts on behalf of non-NATO entities, countries and SIDECON on behalf of NATO countries/allies. During the planning process, they can be requested to contribute to all phases of JWC-directed exercises (ref Bi-Sc75-003). Grey Cell also represents organizations outside of the NATO command structure and additionally supports Cross Cutting Topics. National government or local governmental representatives are imbedded in both Grey and SIDONCE cells
