Integrated Capabilities: Evolving Joint Capabilities for a Strategic Environment

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA469388 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Five years of conflict during the Global War on Terror have illustrated strengths and weakness within our military and the application of national power. The application of national power, especially military force, has primarily been combat-centric with mission accomplishment being defined by success on the battlefield rather than the proper application of capabilities. Recently, there has been a concerted effort to define and establish Joint Capability Areas and those capabilities required to meet national, strategic ends. However, these Joint Capability Areas are a result of a Department of Defense effort, that may inhibit the integration of all instruments of national power. Although a positive step, the Department of Defense Joint Capability Areas must evolve to address the demands of the 21st century a global, integrated environment.
