Defense Governance and Management: Promoting a Joint Armed Forces Culture and Improving the Capability of Foreign Defense Institutions through Joint Concept and Doctrine Development

Abstract

This Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) paper draws upon the experiences, challenges, and observations from IDAs work on behalf of the United States Government (USG) in Colombia, Taiwan, and Indonesia. From these experiences, we derive general insights, ideas, and approaches on how to assist foreign defense institutions to develop joint concepts and doctrine. In turn, joint concept and doctrine development promote development of a joint culture within defense institutions. We find a joint culture or jointness is important for implementing a more effective and efficient force development process. Jointness also lends itself to better employment of the current force.
