Joint Organization: Where Do We Do After Goldwater-Nichols

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the United States' shift in military policy from one primarily aimed at specific service operations to one that emphasizes combined, joint operation and cooperation from all the individual services. This study does not attempt to delve into the intricate details of running specific campaigns or actual military actions. It is aimed at providing an overview of the organization of the Department of Defense and the causes and effects of recent reorganization legislation such as the Goldwater-Nichols Defense Reorganization Act of 1986, and to suggest possible solutions to remaining problems.
