Solution-Central Idea:<br />
The <strong>Joint</strong> Force will<br />
conduct IW operations<br />
against state and nonstate<br />
adversaries in<br />
protracted regional<br />
and global campaigns<br />
designed to subvert,<br />
coerce, attrite, and<br />
exhaust an adversary<br />
rather than defeat him<br />
through direct<br />
conventional military<br />
confrontation.<br />

capabilities and<br />
capacities<br />
• Building “Rugged-ized”<br />
IA Capability<br />

• Shifting force<br />
requirements<br />
• Expanded global<br />
presence to support IW<br />
• Expanded operational<br />
environments<br />
• Building DOD civil-govt<br />
capability<br />

Definitions<br />
Irregular Warfare <strong>JOC</strong> Logic<br />
IRREGULAR WARFARE DEFINITION<br />
A violent struggle among state and non-state actors<br />
for legitimacy and influence over the relevant<br />
populations. IW favors indirect and asymmetric<br />
approaches, though it may employ the full range of<br />
military and other capabilities, in order to erode an<br />
adversary's power, influence, and will.<br />
The <strong>Joint</strong> Force Problem. How to employ<br />
conventional and non-conventional military<br />
capabilities in support of integrated US Government<br />
and partner IW efforts to:<br />
• Conduct protracted military campaigns to defeat<br />
adversary states through indirect methods and<br />
means<br />
• Conduct protracted military campaigns on a global<br />
scale to defeat non-state irregular threats<br />
• As a supported effort, defeat IW threats<br />
independently of a conventional operation<br />
• As a supporting effort, defeat IW threats in<br />
combination with conventional military operations<br />
Operational<br />
Environments<br />
•Within<br />
Friendly States<br />
•Within Hostile<br />
States<br />
•Within nonbelligerent<br />
states<br />

Elements<br />

Supporting Ideas<br />

Command and<br />
Control (C2) for<br />
IW<br />
Desired End State<br />
A <strong>Joint</strong> Force with enhanced capability for IW<br />
and a balanced approach to warfighting<br />
that allows it to be as compelling in IW as<br />
it is in conventional warfare.<br />
