Joint Capability Experimentation
Abstract
The FY2019 NDAA amended the Chairman’s responsibilities to include experimentation on future concepts. The 2018 National Defense Strategy Implementation Guidance directed rigorous experimentation on concepts as a means to ensure Department investments adequately address future requirements, not just near term. Given this, the Joint Staff must establish an experimentation capability suitable for analysis and validation of priority joint concept required capabilities. The base of experimentation and wargaming will expand through the initial operating capability to full operating capability. This will provide the necessary capacity and capability. The combination will allow the Chairman to identify cost efficient and effective capability tradeoffs. This capability will enable the Chairman to fulfill his Title 10 responsibility, “advising the Secretary on new and alternative joint military capabilities, and alternative program recommendations and budget proposals, within projected resource levels.” This capability more fully supports the Chairman’s production of the Joint Military Needs Assessment (JMNA), the Chairman’s Program Recommendation (CPR) and ultimately the Defense Planning Guidance for Joint Force development.
