The Joint Operations Concept (JOpsC) describes how the future joint force intends to operate within the next 15 20 years and the key attributes required for full spectrum dominance a force that is fully integrated, expeditionary, networked, decentralized, adaptable, decision superior, and lethal. Recent contingencies displayed rapidly executable, globally and operationally distributed, simultaneous, and sequential operations characteristic of the future joint force.
