• The joint force will be required to conduct nonconventional 15 military operations in support of, or in place of, IA partners for an extended duration. 2.f. Relationship to Other Joint Operations Concepts The CCJO provides the overarching guidance for this and other JOCs in the Joint Operations Concept family. This JOC applies the basic elements of the CCJO Central Idea while embodying the supporting ideas of: acting from multiple directions in multiple domains concurrently; conducting integrated and interdependent actions; controlling tempo; managing perceptions and expectations; and acting discriminately. It also addresses certain key characteristics of the joint force, to include: knowledge empowered; adaptable; persistent; resilient; and agile. CCJO Central Idea The joint force, in concert with other elements of national and multinational power, will conduct integrated, tempo-controlling actions in multiple domains concurrently to dominate any adversary and help control any situation in support of strategic objectives. The IW JOC is integral to the conduct of MCO and Military Support to SSTRO. It complements the conduct of Deterrence Operations and Shaping Operations. It enhances existing JOCs by further developing their IW aspects. It also offers both complementary and competing ideas for ways and means to address strategic and operational challenges. This JOC addresses aspects of IW that current JOCs do not: • Theater strategy for IW. • IW campaign design, planning, and execution. • Global scale of IW operations. • Protracted timeframe of IW. • Offensive applications of IW, particularly against hostile armed groups operating in non-belligerent states. IW and the MCO JOC. The MCO JOC includes a general description of IW that focuses on cases where IW is integral to large-scale combat operations. This JOC provides a more robust discussion of IW, both in combination with conventional military operations and also as part of a protracted regional or global IW campaign that may not include significant conventional military operations. 15 This concept uses the term “nonconventional” to mean any activity, operation, organization, capability, etc., for which the regular armed forces of a country, excluding designated SOF, do not have a broad-based requirement for the conduct of combat operations against the regular armed forces of another country. This term includes the employment of conventional forces and capabilities in nonstandard ways or for nonstandard purposes. 14

The SSTRO JOC is driven by DODD 3000.05, Military Support to SSTR Operations. DODD 3000.05 establishes DOD policy and assigns responsibilities within the Department for planning, training, and preparing to conduct and support stability operations. SSTRO focus on the full range of military support across the continuum from peace to crisis and conflict in order to assist a state or region that is under severe stress. IW occurs primarily during crisis or conflict. In both IW and SSTRO, a primary focus is on gaining the support of the population. In both concepts the joint force normally plays a more enabling role to the efforts of OGAs rather than a lead role. SSTRO are a vital component of most IW operations and campaigns, but SSTRO also occur outside the scope of IW. In some operations IW may contrast with SSTRO, such as supporting an insurgency or conducting UW where the goal is not to support the host government but rather to undermine stability and security in order to erode an adversary’s control over its territory or population. As with IW, many stability, 16 Figure 3 depicts an illustrative example of the potential relationships between the IW, SSTR, and MCO JOCs. The Shaping Operations JOC will support the operations envisioned in these JOCs. 15
