Christopher Behre, GS-15, is the Capability Engineering Branch Head under the Architectures and Capability Engineering Division of United Stated Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) J8. Mr. Behre, since retiring from the Navy in 1994, has pursued Joint Command and Control solutions in various billets across USJFCOM. His work began in the J6 Directorate, then moved to Suffolk to support standing up and managing the Joint Battle Center (renamed Joint System Integration Center), and for the last six years in government service in the J8 Directorate. Mr. Behre has been the USJFCOM lead for Joint Mission Threads (JMTs) beginning with managing the composition and analysis of the Joint Close Air Support (JCAS) JMT, then the Joint Personnel Recovery (JPR) JMT. His team is currently coordinating JCAS, Ballistic Missile Defense, and JPR capability improvements across the Services and coalition forces. More recently, based on the successful use and reuse of the JCAS and JPR threads, J8 directed Mr. Behre to establish the JMT Architecture and Testing working group to identify and define Joint Mission Threads for all Department of Defense communities of interest. This cross Combatant Command, Service, and Agency coalition of the willing has generated a Concept of Operations and Development Guide for the composition and reuse of JMTs. He has also been directed to lead an effort to compose a high level, generic version of the 30 identified JMTs.
