Main Points

• The need to transform in a changing environment
• Dedicated transformation organizations can
  accelerate change if integrated and resourced
• Transformation is comprehensive all
  organizations and functions military,
  interagency, and partner nations
• Transformation incorporates doctrine, training,
  resources, employment lessons learned it is
  not just theoretical
• Partnerships are essential and powerful

Transformation is about Culture and Product

USJFCOM Mission
USJFCOM maximizes the Nations future and present
military capabilities by leading the
transformation of joint forces, through (1) joint
concept development and experimentation,
identifying (2) joint requirements, advancing
interoperability, conducting (3) joint training,
and (4) providing ready continental U.S.-based
forces and capabilities all to support the
Combatant Commands.

Transformation

• Changing the nature of military competition and
  cooperation through new combinations of concepts,
  capabilities, and organizations to help underpin
  peace and stability in the world.
• Transformation includes a full range from new
  high tech weapons to changing the way we think,
  train, exercise, fight and our partnerships in a
  complex world.

Transformation is about Culture and Product

Why Transform?
The Environment is Changing
Currently optimized for this

• The Threat is Changing
• Our adversaries will
• fight by any means
• seek to deceive us
• exploit opportunities
• learn as they go

Need better balance across the spectrum
Our Capabilities are Evolving
Capabilities must be optimized for the changing
environment

Transforming the Joint Force The U.S. approach
Coherently Joint Collaborative Coordination Effect
s-Based Network Centric Interagency-Multinational
Deconflict Service Forces
Stitch Service Seams
Integration of Service Capabilities

IRAQI FREEDOM in Context
A Campaign of significant scope, scale,
complexity and risk, and new capabilities

• OIF vs Desert Storm
• Fewer land and air forces
• Extensive use of SOF
• First use of Land Component Commander
• Robust Collaborative Planning Effort
• Greater maneuver distances
• Fewer Iraqi missile launches
• Fewer oil wells set ablaze
• Fewer munitions used
• Reduced costs

IRAQI FREEDOM in Context
A Campaign of significant scope, scale,
complexity and risk, and new capabilities

• Contributing Factors
• Northern/Southern Watch--12 yr prep / 1 yr
  selected air interdiction
• OEF Afghanistan Experience
• Existing Component (Land, Sea, Air, SOF) JTF
  HQs
• Existing C2 facilities
• Land and Sea prepositioned stocks
• Lift improvements (48B)
• Greater bandwidth capability
• Mission rehearsal exercises
• Overmatching Power
• Determined time and place of attack
• Rapid Air and Sea supremacy
• Precision fires Speed and depth of maneuver

13
The Big Issues Quick Look

• Capabilities that reached new levels of
  performance, and need to be sustained and
  improved
• Joint Integration and Adaptive Planning
• Joint Force Synergy
• SOF and SOF-Conventional Integration
• Capabilities that demonstrated considerable
  effectiveness, but need enhancement
• Urban Operations
• Information Operations
• Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance
• Capabilities that fell short of expectations or
  needs, and need to be redressed through new
  initiatives
• Battle Damage Assessment
• Fratricide Prevention
• Deployment Planning and Execution
• Reserve Mobilization
• Coalition Information Sharing

Allied Command Transformation Vision
NATOs forcing agent for change, leading the
continuous improvement of Alliance capabilities
to uphold NATOs global security interests
15
Allied Command Transformation JFCOM Relationship

• Cooperation and collaboration with NATO and
  Allies is vital and mutually beneficial a two
  way street
• Foundation for common understanding and
  transformation
• Output and Outcome oriented
• Dedicated complementary organizations

16
Allied Command Transformation JFCOM Near Term
Effort

• Share Joint Force Training model and lessons
  learned
• NATO Response Force (NRF) Training
• Multinational Concept Development and
  Experimentation
• Two Way Street with Allies Ideas and Concepts

17
Allied Command Long Term Priorities (draft)

1. Transform NATOs military capabilities.
2. Prepare, support and sustain Alliance operations.
3. Implement NATO Response Force and other
   deployable capabilities.
4. Achieve ACT full operational capability.
5. Assist transformation of partner capabilities.

18
Joint Concept Development and Experimentation
Strategy

• Field the Standing Joint Force Headquarters
  (SJFHQ) including the enabling concepts for
  developing transformational joint command and
  control
• Deliver rapid, prototyping of capabilities to
  improve joint warfighting now

FY 01
FY 03
FY 02

• Provide actionable recommendations from
  experimentation results to senior leaders to
  inform options for future force investments

Joint Prototype Path Approach
