against anticipated threats to accomplish missions.

Concepts establish the intellectual foundation for Army modernization.

Concepts help Army leaders identify opportunities to improve future

force capabilities.

Concepts are NOT doctrine, but begin the process for delivering

capabilities to future Army Forces

Military Problem

Given both the continuities in the nature of war and the changes

anticipated in the future operational environment…

How does the Army conduct joint operations promptly, in sufficient

scale, and for ample duration to prevent conflict, shape security

environments, and win wars?

15

The Army cannot predict who it will fight, where it will fight, and with

what coalition it will fight. To win in a complex world, Army forces must

provide the Joint Force with multiple options, integrate the efforts of

multiple partners, operate across multiple domains, and present our

enemies and adversaries with multiple dilemmas.

• Maneuver from multiple locations and across domains

• Exercise mission command

• Integrate joint, interorganizational, and multinational capabilities

• Defeat enemy organizations, control terrain, and secure populations

• Preserve joint force freedom of movement and action

• Seize, retain, and exploit the initiative

Defeat enemies , establish security, consolidate gains, and achieve sustainable outcomes
