Future Joint Force Development
Abstract
Current efforts focus is on updating the Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO) so it extends the strategic approach developed in the 2016 NMS out to 2035. The CCJO revision will provide a common view of the future operating environment and a vision for how the future joint force will conduct globally integrated operations. Also, the revised CCJO will identify force development implications and required capabilities to maintain U.S. competitive advantage against emerging threats out to 2035. In partnership with selected Combatant Commands and the Services, development of the Joint Operating Concepts to address strategic challenges has begun. Prospectuses were developed to initiate Supporting Joint Concepts in the areas of space, intelligence, deterrence, and operating in a CBRN environment. Study of the 2035 operating environment continues and informs understanding of military challenges associated with the common view of the future operating environment. Work with Five Eyes (FVEY) countries is focused on developing a FVEY common view of the future operating environment culminating in a report due by the end of 2018. Joint Concept for Integrated Campaigning and the Joint Concept for Operating in the Information Environment completed development and were approved by the VCJCS. Concept implementation is underway for both concepts as well as the Joint Concepts for Rapid Aggregation, Robotic and Autonomous Systems, Human Aspects of Military Operations, Access and Maneuver in the Global Commons, Preventing the Transfer and Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Operational Contract Support.
