The Joint Training and Training Development Center (JT2DC) is a training facility for the Army National Guard and is operated by the New Jersey Army National Guard. The JT2DC is located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington County, New Jersey. [1]

The facility is a training centre for military personnel, law enforcement officers, and foreign allies. It provides advanced simulators and environments in which to experience realistic combat scenarios. Supporting up to 20,000 personnel each year, the centre is involved in energy initiatives, including solar power projects that enhance sustainability and operational efficiency. JT2DC plays a vital role in disaster response and military preparedness, thereby demonstrating its commitment to achieving energy independence and environmental benefits. [2] The JT2DC provides Training Aids, Devices, Simulators and Simulations (TADSS) though its Regional Battle Simulation Training Center. All classrooms and conference areas are equipped with internet access and remote video abilities. [3]

In April 2018, a new command team began at the JT2DC, Col. Paul E Rumberger III and Command Sgt. Maj. John Hicks took over for Col. Paul Nema and Command Sgt. Maj. Paula Cantara. [4]

On 30 September 2025, the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst was forced into lockdown due to a reported active shooter. [5] Malika Brittingham is accused of making the false report and faces federal charges. [6]
