5 TRADOC Pam 525-3-0 In the 21st century, we do not have the luxury of deciding which challenges to prepare for and which to ignore. We must overcome the full spectrum of threats—the conventional and the unconventional; the nation-state and the terrorist network; the spread of deadly technologies and the spread of hateful ideologies; 18th century-style piracy and 21st century cyber threats. Chapter 1 Introduction 1-1. Purpose —President Barack Obama United States Naval Academy, 22 May 2009 a. The purpose of TRADOC Pamphlet (Pam) 525-3-0, The Army Capstone Concept, Operational Adaptability—Operating Under Conditions of Uncertainty and Complexity in an Era of Persistent Conflict, is to describe the broad capabilities the Army will require in the 2016- 2028 timeframe. It describes how the Army will apply available resources to overcome adaptive enemies and accomplish challenging missions in complex operational environments. The evolving operational environment and emerging threats to national security will require continuous assessment of Army modernization. Effective modernization efforts include change across the domains of doctrine, organizations, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF). Capabilities, when validated and prioritized, will drive the adaptation and innovation necessary to conduct operations consistent with the ideas in the Army Capstone Concept (ACC). The ACC also establishes the foundation for subordinate concepts that will refine capabilities and identify others essential to ensuring Army combat effectiveness against the full spectrum of threats that the Army, as part of the joint force, is likely to confront in the future. b. The ACC describes how the future all-volunteer Army will conduct operations as part of a joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational team. This document is compatible with joint and Army doctrine, and the Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO) especially in recognizing that future military operations on land will remain firmly in the realm of uncertainty due to the human, psychological, political, and cultural dimensions of conflict. The ACC extends beyond current joint and army doctrine and concepts in its description of new ways and means of conducting future joint land operations and accomplishing missions under conditions of uncertainty and complexity. The ACC frames an answer to the strategic guidance issued in the National Defense Strategy to ―develop the military capability and capacity to hedge against uncertainty, and the institutional agility and flexibility to plan early and respond effectively alongside interdepartmental, nongovernmental, and international partners.‖ 1 c. The ACC poses and answers the following questions. (1) What is the Army’s vision of future armed conflict and how should the Army conduct joint land operations that facilitate strategic objectives?
