This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the defense community has come to endorse "jointness" in military operations, views differ greatly on what operations should look like in the future. Joint Vision (JV) 2010 provides basic ideas on how people and technologies might best be used to shape Joint warfare in the future, but it is a vision document that is intended to serve as a conceptual template, not a blueprint. The Defense Science Board (DSB) was asked to help move things forward by focusing "on how new capabilities, operational concepts, and different force characteristics can be developed and integrated to underwrite Joint Vision 2010." This report describes part of RAND's analytical support of the DSB summer study, notably simulation experiments to help explore and assess Joint operational concepts. It builds on related work done by the authors for a previous DSB effort, Tactics and Technology for 21st Century Military Superiority In this year's effort, we not only drew on outcomes of such previous DSB studies, but also included new discussions with warfighters and planners in the Joint warfare community, and interactions with DSB members, to define a range of operational concepts for the future. The strengths and weaknesses of these concepts were explored using man-in-the-loop, high-resolution, stochastic constructive simulation in the context of a single basic scenario with a number of variations. Our intention in this detailed work was to; (1) provide insights and inputs for a broader, exploratory RAND analysis for the DSB, (2) increase dialogue among conceptualizers, users, and developers, and (3) suggest ideas that would indeed help the DSB take IV 2010 to the next step. An additional objective made clear by the summer study's leadership from the outset was to illustrate the kinds of analysis needed to assess new concepts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This documented briefing describes RAND research that supported the 1998 Defense Science Board (DSB) Summer Study on Joint Operations Superiority in the 21st Century: Integrating Capabilities Underwriting Joint Vision 2010. RAND supported the DSB through both exploratory analysis and high-resolution simulation-based analysis; this document only covers the high-resolution work, notably simulation experiments to help explore and assess Joint operational concepts. It builds on related work done by the authors for the DSB effort, Tactics and Technology for 21st Century Military Superiority (DB-198-A). The current effort draws on outcomes of other DSB studies, discussions with warfighters, and interactions with DSB members, to define a range of different Joint operational concepts that could be applied to a future (2010-2015) notional, high-intensity, quick-reaction scenario. The strengths and weaknesses of
Download or read book Analytical Methods for Studies and Experiments on Transforming the Force written by Paul K. Davis and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1999 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense is motivated by both opportunities and necessity to transform the force over the years ahead by exploiting modern technology and operational concepts associated with the revolution in military affairs, and by making related organizational changes. This documented briefing provides a background review describing a broad transformation strategy, then discusses and illustrates how analysis supported by models and simulations (including gaming) can supplement and guide empirical work such as joint experiments. The approach is illustrated for the problem of halting an invading army, with long-range precision fires playing a major role. A great deal of insight about the general problem can be obtained from analysis at different levels of resolution with a family of models. This process, in turn, identifies important kinds of information that can be obtained only from empirical work such as joint field experiments. The recommended

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is a "think piece" about rapidly deployable future ground forces that would be used in time-urgent joint-task-force missions. The authors sketch out what is needed operationally, describe forces responsive to those needs, and discuss the feasibility of achieving such forces-first with near-term systems but new operational concepts, and then, for the longer term, by drawing upon advanced technology.

Book excerpt: This report stems from a congressional request for an independent report about the U.S. Department of Defense s capabilities for joint analysis and ways to improve them. Congressional concerns largely involved the activity called support for strategic analysis (SSA) and whether to revise it. The report recommends making fundamental revisions to the overall planning construct to which SSA contributes."

Book excerpt: Swarming occurs when several military units conduct a convergent attack on a target from multiple axes. The author derives a simple theory that explains the phenomenology of swarming. He considers command and control, communications, home field advantage, surprise, fratricide, and training and identifies the primary variables to most important successful swarming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised edition of Joint Publication 3-0, Joint Operations, reflects the currentguidance 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.As our Nation continues into the 21st century, the guidance in this publication will enable current and future leaders of the Armed Forces of the United States to design, plan, organize, train for, and execute worldwide missions as our forces transform to meet emerging challenges. To succeed, we need adaptive and thinking professionals who understand the capabilities their Service brings to joint operations; how to integrate those capabilities with those of the other Services and interorganizational partners to optimize the strength of unified action; and how to organize, employ, and sustain joint forces to provide national leaders with multiple options for addressing various security threats. Above all, we need professionals imbued with a sense of commitment and honor who will act decisively in the absence of specific guidance.I challenge all commanders to ensure the widest distribution of this keystone joint publication and actively promote the use of all joint publications at every opportunity. I further challenge you to study and understand the guidance contained in this publication and teach these principles to your subordinates. Only then will we be able to fully exploit the remarkable military potential inherent in our joint teams.
