Joint Urban Operation (JUO) / Joint Irregular Warfare Center (JIWC)

Abstract

Joint Urban Operations (JUO) – To ensure DOD is prepared to dominate future threats and deny sanctuary to our adversaries in urban areas, the Secretary of Defense assigned Commander, U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) as the DOD Executive Agent (EA) for Joint Urban Operations (JUO). JUO Lines of Joint Experimentation (LOJX) projects will provide the Joint Force Commander with the ability to lead, coordinate, and integrate the urban operations doctrine, organization, training, and equipment activities of the DOD Components and improve and transform the capabilities of joint forces in conducting urban operations over the full range of urban contingencies. To execute the mission, USJFCOM established the DOD JUO Program. In 2008, the JUO program and the DOD EA for JUO mission were subsumed into the USJFCOM Joint Irregular Warfare Center (JIWC), led by the JIWC Director who was assigned to execute JUO Executive Agent responsibilities for Commander, USJFCOM.
