Joint Futures Group
Abstract
The Joint Futures Group (JFG) is the Command’s team to identify the next big challenges or opportunities for the joint force that are not being addressed elsewhere in DOD. It is a unique entity within Joint Forces Command that utilizing analytic and research processes integrates future thinking and extrapolates likely future operational environments within which to generate innovative ideas about challenges and military implications for the Department of Defense. The JFG integrates the results of its “futures” research into down stream processes for concept development, experimentation scenarios, capabilities definition, doctrine, and training. The objective of the JFG is to provide a vision of the future and support identification and articulation of joint force implications, through collection, analysis, synthesis, dissemination of the world's strategic and international relations futures. The current means of articulation is the Joint Operating Environment (JOE) report. Further, the JOE provides the foundational problem statement for the CJCS’s Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO), and is intended to inform the development of Joint Operating Concepts and Joint Integrating Concepts, as well as to provide a framework to experiment with those concepts through its vision of the future. Support to the analytical agenda consists of improving and refining the Defense Planning Scenarios (DPS) and ensuring that the DPSs reflect a balanced and plausible set of irregular and hybrid warfare challenges.
