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.
