Future Joint Force Development
Abstract
Current efforts focus 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 modification 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. The Joint Operating Concept (JOC) – China and JOC - Russia prospectuses have been approved. The Director Joint Staff has endorsed the framework and authorized the continued development of two JOCs. The initial research on JOC – North Korea has begun and the prospectus is expected to be approved in early FY 2018. The concept prospectus describes the compelling military challenge and how it will be addressed in the future. JOC – Iran is in the very early stages of prospectus development. 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. Development support was completed for the Joint Concept for Integrated Campaigning and the Joint Concept for Operating in the Information Environment. Concept implementation is underway for 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.
