Joint Theater Missile Defense. An Army Assessment

Abstract

This study is a strategic analysis of the Army's ability to perform the Joint Theater Missile Defense, (JTMD), mission. The need to protect against the short range theater ballistic missile threat is a rapidly growing problem. The assessment and analysis provided in this study identifies the capabilities needed to improve or maintain the Army's overall ability in this mission. Additionally, this analysis reveals issues that effect the overall military JTMD capability, in light of similar service roles and capabilities. The assessment is made by evaluating Army capability in each of the four JTMD mission areas: active defense, attack operations, passive defense, and command, control, communications and intelligence. The adequacy of each of the four mission areas is determined by analyzing effectiveness of current doctrine, training, leadership, organizational, and material systems (DTLOM criteria) that support each of the four Army JTMD missions.
