FY2000 End of Year Report: Volume III
Abstract
The third volume of this three volume report is a collection of topics that range from interoperability between Services to historical looks at experimentation and war fighting on urban terrain. Appendix G describes the series of joint experiments, the purpose of which was to facilitate U.S. Army and U.S. Marine interoperability and collaborative planning. Appendix H provides a look at experimentation between the two World Wars and derives lessons for the U.S. military today. Appendix I highlights the JAWP's thinking about experimentation beyond the theoretical, describing what constitutes joint war fighting experimentation. Appendix J describes the challenges DoD faces in transformation and joint experimentation, and how to measure progress towards DoD goals during a time where the environment is oriented toward success, quick returns, and zero defects. Appendix K is a thoughtful picture of the lessons reaped from the tragedies of urban operations in twentieth-century warfare, and how the U.S. military must face psychological and political barriers that seem to make it virtually impossible to fight directly for the control of cities in the twenty-first century. Finally, Appendix L is a bibliography that surveys classic and recent articles on military operations in urban terrain.
