mission accomplishment. The joint force will possess the required assets to<br />

collect data required to make a thorough IW assessment using measures of<br />

performance and measures of effectiveness. Primary supporting tasks are:<br />

• Assess IW operations and/or campaigns.<br />

• Develop joint and Service concepts, doctrine, and tactics, techniques,<br />

and procedures (TTP).<br />

Force Development. This capability seeks to translate projected military<br />

resources—manpower, fiscal, and materiel—into time-phased programs and<br />

structure (expressed in dollars, equipment, and units) needed to accomplish<br />

national IW strategy. Primary supporting tasks are:<br />

• Educate and train the joint force on the nuances of IW operations.<br />

• Develop appropriate analytical models to support analysis of IW<br />

operations and campaigns.<br />

• Develop joint concepts for IW.<br />

• Exercise operational plans with IW elements.<br />

• Gather IW lessons learned.<br />

• Implement IW lessons learned.<br />

Force Management. This capability seeks to recommend and provide forces<br />

in accordance with the Global Force Management Rotation Force Allocation<br />

Process for the purpose of supporting combatant commander requirements and<br />

Theater Security Cooperation Plans and allowing the rapid application of military<br />

force by placing US forces in a position from which they can rapidly respond to<br />

demands. Primary supporting tasks are:<br />

• Manage the composition and disposition of the <strong>Joint</strong> Force to support<br />

protracted IW campaigns.<br />

• Coordinate forward presence of joint forces in theaters in support of<br />

shaping operations and protracted IW campaigns.<br />

6. Risks and Mitigation<br />

RISK #1 – Conducting a Protracted IW Campaign in Addition to MCO<br />

and Other Long-term Global Commitments<br />

• Mitigation. Conduct wargaming and analysis to understand the demands<br />

of a protracted IW campaign while simultaneously prosecuting an MCO<br />

and other long-term global commitments. Identify those areas in which<br />

capability and capacity shortfalls are likely to occur. Develop hedging<br />

strategies and plans to reduce the associated risks, such as plans for<br />

surging forces, accessing additional capacity in the Reserve Component,<br />

substituting similar capabilities across Services or components, rapidly<br />

retraining US personnel in new specialties, examining expanding the role<br />

of DOD civilians, and repositioning US forces around the globe while<br />

encouraging allies and partners to take on additional responsibilities.<br />
