Conclusion
JWARN and JEM are DOD-accredited programs that can be used independently or as integrated capabilities with mission
command systems. The programs are currently felded on select Service and joint mission command systems. JEM is also
available as a stand-alone capability throughout the Service and joint communities. As separate and distinct programs, JWARN
and JEM provide CBRN warfghters with the unique capability to support operational commanders and staffs, allowing for
detailed, time-sensitive situational awareness.
