How Should Service Operational Concepts Be Guided?

Abstract

This paper examines service operational concept development as related to Joint Vision 2O10. It looks at the underlining assumptions that form the backdrop to the discussion of operational concept development and argues that service and joint operational concepts must be guided and objectively evaluated to determine how interoperable these operational concepts are and how well they help the U.S. military achieve the potential promised in Joint Vision 2010. The United States military has begun an intense period of operational concept development and experimentation. Each service is examining new ways to fight to ensure they can execute their core competencies as members of the joint team in a post-Cold War world. Since the publication of Joint Vision 2010, the services and the joint community have sought to find the best ways to fit service and joint operational concept development into the Joint Vision 2010 conceptual framework.
