Joint Doctrine: New Pubs, Old Controversies

Abstract

There have been many changes in doctrine since the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986 made the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) singularly responsible for "developing doctrine for the joint employment of the Armed Forces." The following discussion treats some changes that have attracted the most attention within the Armed Forces. These changes relate to the following: Fire Support Coordination Line, Areas of Responsibility, Joint Force Air Component Commander, Interdiction, Army Helicopters and Close Air Support, Search and Rescue and Combat Search and Rescue, Combat Assessment Joint Pub 2-0, and Chain of Command.
