The Way Ahead for Joint Transformation

Abstract

Transformation is a central theme of current national security policy. Although OSD is firmly committed to change, the way ahead is unclear. Each Service is now pursuing its own version of transformation. Expected OSD guidance will cover transformation tenets, but will not provide the detailed approach required to determine which programs are indeed transformational and their impact to warfighting capability. What is needed is the newly approved JROC joint operational concept and detailed integrated architecture approach to provide a common framework for discussion and the ability to design an interoperable force structure meeting JV 2020 objectives. In addition, a method is needed to effectively describe and implement interfaces in U.S. and foreign information and weapon systems that do not exist today.
