Joint Multinational Readiness Center

The JoiJMRC Logont Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC), the Europe-based Combat Training Center (CTC) with a world-wide mobile training capability, trains leaders, staffs, and units up to Brigade Task Forces and multinational allies and partners, to dominate in the conduct of Multidomain Operations anywhere in the world, now and in the future. The Joint Multinational Readiness Center is situated in the Oberpfalz region of Bavaria near the town of Hohenfels. JMRC provides a myriad of indispensable capabilities to the U.S. Army and our European Allies and partners

JMRC is the Army’s only forward stationed Combat Training Center. Hohenfels Training Area is 163 km2, has 1,345 buildings for training, 319 kilometers of road and numerous cross-country trails, and one short take-off/landing airfield.

JMRC integrates multinational participation into every rotation. JMRC can tailor the exercise and operational environment based on the needs and requirements of the training audience. JMRC supports training for other U.S. agencies and foreign non-military organizations. JMRC regularly employs the U.S. Army’s Decisive Action Training Environment (DATE) and Mission Rehearsal Exercise (MRE) concepts, regularly hosting DATE exercises to deploy and test the Regionally Aligned Forces. JMRC also hosts the Kosovo Force (KFOR) Mission Rehearsal Exercise. JMRC provides a realistic, complex operational environment supported by world-class opposing forces (OPFOR) and Observer, Coach, Trainer (OCT) teams. The 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment (1-4 IN) provides world-class opposing forces to train participants across all warfighting functions. Twelve Observer, Coach, Trainer teams provide evaluation and lessons learned for a wide variety of military occupational specialties for each maneuver training rotation. Several support directorates ensure world-class support to our rotations.
