This paper will suggest a staffing plan for a Joint Operations Center (simulated) at a National Guard Center that focuses on asymmetrical missions, to include mobilizations and the Transformation Campaign. The plan will include strategies that incorporate forecasting the requirements and recruiting the appropriate candidates.
