The Evolution of Joint Warfare (Joint Warfighting Quarterly, Summer 2002)
Abstract
Joint warfare is largely a phenomenon of the last century. Yet ever since the 19th century, as Western militaries developed into professional, disciplined institutions responsive to their rulers, many states have sought to project power abroad. Technology has increasingly shaped the conduct of war, forcing the use of military capabilities in concert. That is a complex process, not because of obstacles posed by individual service cultures alone, but because the evolution of joint warfare poses intractable problems. Moreover, such capabilities can require levels of spending that cannot be allocated to the military in peacetime.
