News From USJFCOM: Command releases report examining the future: "U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) released a report today outlining a strategic framework that forecasts possible threats and opportunities that will challenge the joint force in the future.
USJFCOM released the Joint Operating Environment 2010 (JOE 2010) to describe the future operational environment and its implications on the structure and function of the joint force.
JOE 2010 continues and improves on work first outlined in the 2008 version of the document which was downloaded over a million times from the command Web site.
'The JOE is a living document; routine revisions ensure it remains relevant by reflecting current and emerging trends,' said Army Lt. Gen. Keith M. Huber, USJFCOM deputy commander. 'The purpose of the JOE is to encourage strategic dialogue - we put out JOE 2008, people responded, we listened and made changes and improvements based on that feedback.'
While feedback from JOE 2008 helped inform the new edition, current events and the analysis of those trends and challenges also yielded new areas of discussion."
