The Spectrum of Warfare Challenge. Joint Center for Operational Analysis Journal, Volume 11, Issue 2, Spring 2009
Abstract
The United States Joint Forces Command 2009 Lessons Learned Conference, hosted by the Joint Center for Operational Analysis (JCOA), was held 17-20 March 2009, in Newport News, Virginia. The conference welcomed 169 participants -- including 29 United States (US) and multinational general/flag officers (GO/FO) and US Senior Executive Service (SES) members -- from the US and eight partner nations. The purpose of the conference was to capture lessons from recent complex joint/combined operations around the world, and to support near-and long-term improvement of joint capabilities. The four day event was organized into plenary and working group (WG) sessions with the WGs divided into four focus areas derived from the US National Defense Strategy: Joint Adaptation to Irregular Warfare (JAIW), Joint Warfighting (JWFX), Homeland Defense (HLD), and Security Cooperation (TSC). To encourage candid discussion of the issues, the WG discussions were considered -- not for attribution -- therefore, the conference report does not list the identities of presenters or participants in any of the four groups. JCOA provided a senior US military lead (O-6), a senior civilian analyst, and two recorders for each working group to facilitate the discussions and document the findings and recommendations.
