This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonel Brown argues that recent operations have highlighted seams and shortfalls in joint doctrine that need to be addressed in the shaping of a more effective future joint force. Using the current doctrine command and control tenets and Joint Operations Concept attributes as a framework, Colonel Brown develops the foundation of air-ground doctrine for the future joint force. Using case studies from recent contingencies to illustrate gaps in current doctrine, he proposes doctrinal concepts via five air-ground integration focus areas: supporting/supported relationships, establishing directives and emerging concepts, synchronization of interdiction and maneuver, joint fires concepts, and fire support coordination measures. Colonel Brown proposes support relationships be defined by the joint force commander based on operational objectives. Joint force commanders would then articulate intent, relationships, and objectives through proposed establishing directive guidance. Colonel Brown also proposes a responsive and interoperable joint organizational construct capable of integrating the effects created by fire and maneuver. He completes his proposals by recommending a standardized coordination-measure construct to allow timely decision making and execution in future joint operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite their successes, the most recent joint operations highlighted seams in joint doctrine, particularly in the area of airground integration. These seams can be categorized into five focus areas--supported/supporting relationships, establishing directives and emerging concepts, synchronization of interdiction and maneuver, joint fires, and fire support coordination measures. The focus areas highlight the following overarching issues in existing joint doctrine that require attention in shaping doctrine for the future joint force: Predetermined support relationships based on areas of operations and doctrinal missions inhibit agility and versatility of thought, plans, operations, and organizations. Shortfalls exist in articulating to a joint cross-functional audience authorities, roles, and responsibilities that can adapt in dynamic situations. Planning and execution mind-sets and processes are not conducive to integrated operations. Command and control of joint fires is disparate and stovepiped along service and component lines. Coordination measures lack flexibility and responsiveness to support rapidly executed, dispersed operations.

This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1958 the Air Force has assigned a small number of carefully chosen, experienced officers to serve one-year tours at distinguished civilian institutions studying national security policy and strategy. Beginning with the 1994 academic year, these programs were accorded senior service school professional military education in-residence credit. In 2003 these fellowships assumed senior developmental education (SDE) force development credit for eligible officers. The SDE-level Air Force Fellows serve as visiting military ambassadors to their centers, devoting effort to expanding their colleagues' understanding of defense matters. As such, candidates for SDE-level fellowships have a broad knowledge of key DOD and Air Force issues. SDE-level fellows perform outreach by their presence and voice in sponsoring institutions. SDElevel fellows are expected to provide advice, promote, and explain Air Force and DOD policies, programs, and military doctrine strategy to nationally recognized scholars, foreign dignitaries, and leading policy analysts. The AF Fellows also gain valuable perspectives from the exchange of ideas with these civilian leaders. SDE-level fellows are expected to apprise appropriate Air Force agencies of significant developments and emerging views on defense and economic and foreign policy issues within their centers. Each fellow is expected to use the unique access she or he has as grounds for research and writing on important national security issues. The SDE AF Fellows includes the National Defense Fellows, the RAND Fellows, the National Security Fellows, and the Secretary of Defense Corporate Fellows. In addition, the Air Force Fellows supports a post-SDE military fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. On the intermediate developmental education level, the chief of staff approved several AF Fellowships focused on career broadening for Air Force majors. The Air Force Legislative Fellows was established in April 1995 with the Foreign Policy Fellowship and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Fellowship coming under the AF Fellows program in 2003. In 2004, the AF Fellows also assumed responsibility of the National Laboratories Technologies Fellows.

This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is the capstone joint doctrine publication. It provides doctrine for unified action by the Armed Forces of the United States. As such, it specifies the authorized command relationships and authority that military commanders can use, provides guidance for the exercise of that military authority, provides fundamental principles and guidance for command and control, prescribes guidance for organizing joint forces, and describes policy for selected joint activities. It also provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multiagency and multinational operations. Joint doctrine promotes a common perspective from which to plan, train, and conduct military operations. It represents what is taught, believed, and advocated as what is right (i.e., what works best). Conducting joint operations generally involve 12 broad principles, collectively known as the “principles of joint operations”. These principles guide warfighting at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. They combine the nine historical principles of war (present in joint doctrine since its inception) with three additional principles born out of experience across the range of military operations. US military service is based on values that US military experience has proven to be vital for operational success. These values adhere to the most idealistic societal norms, are common to all the Services, and represent the essence of military professionalism. Competent joint warfighters must be skilled in thinking strategically and at optimizing joint capabilities, applying strategic and operational art, and having a joint perspective. There are five values, while not specific to joint operations, that have special impact on the conduct of joint operations. The values are integrity, competency, physical courage, moral courage, and teamwork. The Armed Forces fulfill unique and crucial roles, defending the United States against all adversaries and serving the Nation as a bulwark and the guarantors of its security and independence. When called to action, the Armed Forces support and defend national interests worldwide. The Armed Forces embody the highest values and standards of American society and the profession of arms. The Armed Forces fulfill their roles, missions, and functions within the American system of civil-military relations. The Armed Forces also serve under the civilian control of the President who is the Commander in Chief. The nature of the challenges to the United States and its interests demand that the Armed Forces operate as a fully integrated joint team across the range of military operations. These operations may take place with the military forces of allies and coalition partners, US and foreign government agencies, state and local government agencies, and intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations. The challenges are best met when the unified action of the Armed Forces elicits the maximum contribution from each Service and Department of Defense (DOD) agency and their unique but complementary capabilities. The resulting synergy from their synchronized and integrated action is a direct reflection of those capabilities. Joint warfare is team warfare. Effective integration of joint forces exposes no weak points or seams to an adversary. They rapidly and efficiently find and exploit the adversary's critical vulnerabilities and other weak points as they contribute most to mission accomplishment. This does not mean that all forces will be equally represented in each operation. Joint force commanders (JFCs) may choose the capabilities they need from the forces at their disposal.

This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The President and Secretary of Defense have directed the Department of Defense (DOD) to transform in order to meet an uncertain future and the unfolding challenges of the 21st Century domestic and international security environments. As the Armed Forces of the United States transform, they must develop a common frame of reference to define and develop future joint force concepts, capabilities, requirements, and Service-provided forces. The existing frames of reference for the joint force are joint doctrine and Joint Vision. Joint doctrine only provides a common frame of reference for the current joint force. It does not, however, address the development or experimentation of future concepts and capabilities that could improve joint force operations. The Joint Vision provides a broad future vision and construct for military transformation. However, it contains little actionable detail for joint force planning and development. Joint doctrine and Joint Vision together will provide a baseline to help focus the development and comparative analysis of emerging concepts, capabilities, requirements, and Service-provided forces that will be employed within future joint warfare and crisis resolution. At the focal point of US military transformation and implementation is the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC). The role of the JROC has evolved from a strictly materiel focus to a strategic integration role in the coevolution of joint doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) critical force considerations. As the crossroads for joint vision related requirements generation and development, the JROC currently must evaluate concepts, capabilities, architectures and requirements from each Service. What is missing for the JROC's use is a common perspective on joint warfare and crisis resolution in the 21st Century from which the JROC can review, integrate and compare emerging joint concepts, capabilities, architecture and requirements. To provide the missing common joint perspective for the JROC and address the Chairman's future joint vision in actionable detail, the Joint Staff's Directorate for Operational Plans and Joint Force Development (J-7) has worked on a JROC-sponsored project in collaboration with the Services, combatant commands, Joint Staff and defense agencies to develop An Evolving Joint Perspective: US Joint Warfare and Crisis Resolution In the 21st Century. This document provides a common joint warfighting perspective intended to identify and describe the key elements and desired capabilities that comprise the evolving and emerging American way of joint warfare and crisis resolution for the foreseeable future. This joint perspective grows from an understanding of the current environment, focuses on Joint Vision as the azimuth, and serves as the foundation for transformation. It captures and defines emerging consensus on the desired shifts in the characteristics and conduct of joint warfare and crisis resolution as well as the evolving joint fundamentals that will help to achieve the desired goals of military transformation. It provides an essential complement to Service transformation and warfighting perspectives and an integrating context for joint concept and architecture development, the Requirements Generation System (RGS), and Force Planning and development efforts.

This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joint Publication 1, Doctrine for the Armed Forces of the United States, is the capstone publication for all joint doctrine, presenting fundamental principles and overarching guidance for the employment of the Armed Forces of the United States. This change represents the evolution in our warfighting guidance - including the consolidation, behind one cover, of fundamental overarching doctrine and guidance governing the unified direction and employment of forces and the functions of the Department of Defense and its major components. It is vital that we not only develop our military capabilities, but also strengthen the capacity of other government agencies. This publication ties joint doctrine to the national security strategy and national military strategy and describes the military's role in the development of national policy and strategy. It thus provides the linkage between joint doctrine and the contribution of other government agencies and multinational endeavors. As we look globally at our posture and the associated strategic risk, it is imperative that our doctrine also rapidly adjust to reflect our wartime footing. The guidance in this publication will enable current and future leaders of the Armed Forces of the United States to organize, train, and execute worldwide missions as our forces transform to meet emerging challenges. The joint force must simultaneously think ahead at the strategic level, stay current at the operational level, and be informed by tactical level developments. This publication is the capstone joint doctrine publication. It provides doctrine for unified action by the Armed Forces of the United States. As such, it specifies the authorized command relationships and authority that military commanders can use, provides guidance for the exercise of that military authority, provides fundamental principles and guidance for command and control, prescribes guidance for organizing joint forces, and describes policy for selected joint activities.

Book excerpt: "When appropriate, the U.S. Air Force needs to be prepared to supply joint task force (JTF) headquarters. If the U.S. Air Force takes the steps necessary to produce JTF-capable units, both the service and the nation would benefit. The authors consider the nature of JTF command, survey command-related developments in other services and in other elements of the defense community, and examine four JTF operations. They raise issues for the Air Force to consider and offer a set of recommendations aimed at enhancing the Air Force's ability to staff and run JTF headquarters."--Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2012-10-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is the keystone document of the joint operations series. It provides the doctrinal foundation and fundamental principles that guide the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations across the range of military operations. This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations, and it provides considerations for military interaction with governmental and nongovernmental agencies, multinational forces, and other interorganizational partners. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs), and prescribes joint doctrine for operations and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing and executing their plans and orders. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of objectives. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the joint staff, commanders of combatant commands, subunified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, and the Services. The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of Service publications, this publication will take precedence unless the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, normally in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has provided more current and specific guidance. Commanders of forces operating as part of a multinational (alliance or coalition) military command should follow multinational doctrine and procedures ratified by the United States. For doctrine and procedures not ratified by the US, commanders should evaluate and follow the multinational command's doctrine and procedures, where applicable and consistent with US law, regulations, and doctrine. This revised edition of Joint Publication 3-0, Joint Operations, reflects the current guidance for conducting joint activities across the range of military operations and is the basis for U.S. participation in multinational operations where the United States has not ratified specific doctrine or procedures. This keystone publication forms the core of joint warfighting doctrine and establishes the framework for our forces' ability to fight as a joint team. Often called the "linchpin" of the joint doctrine publication hierarchy, the overarching constructs and principles contained in this publication provide a common perspective from which to plan and execute joint operations independently or in cooperation with our multinational partners, other U.S. Government departments and agencies, and intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations.
