Joint Vision 2010. A Catalyst for US Military Service Visions for the 21st Century

Abstract

In July 1996, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) unveiled a 21st- century vision statement as a call to arms for the Department of Defense (DOD) to "achieve new levels of effectives in joint warfighting. Titled Joint Vision (JV) 2010, its publication offers an opportunity for comparison between joint and Service warfighting perspectives. JV 2010 provides a catalyst for critical thought and debate on military operations, as well as Service roles in the future geostrategic environment. JV 2010's release also coincides with Service efforts to refine their strategic visions, and the current Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). The author examines JV 2010 and Service vision doc to ascertain incongruities, reveal implementation challenges, and identify areas for further study. This paper shows that, while Service visions are generally in line with the joint vision, they are presented horn Service-unique warfighting perspectives, and also contain distinct elements of interservice rivalry, both of which could hamper efforts to implement JV 2010.
