Military Operations: Status of DOD's Efforts to Develop Future Warfighting Capability.

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DOD) is implementing a plan designed to meet the critical security challenges of the future by transforming the Armed Forces into a joint force capable of meeting the requirements of 21st century operations. A key element of achieving this transformation the conduct of joint warfighting experimentation, which involves assess; joint warfighting concepts that could lead to changes to doctrine, organization, training and education, materiel, leadership, and personnel (DOTMLP). As agreed with your office, this letter responds to the Senate Committee on Armed Services' report on the fiscal year 1999 DOD Authorization Act and (1) describes the status of DOD's efforts to implement its joint experimentation program, (2) identifies some of the factors that we believe contribute to the success of a joint experimental program, and (3) provides answers to the issues posed in the report regarding the extent of DOD's support for future warfighting.
