2009 Joint Warfighting Conference Addresses Key Themes of Building a Balanced Joint Force

Norfolk, Va. — U. S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) will address the theme of Building a Balanced Joint Force: How Best to Meet the Demands of the Future Security Environment,” during the 2009 Joint Warfighting Conference from May 12-14, at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, Virginia Beach, Va.

USJFCOM Commander Marine Gen. James N. Mattis will deliver opening remarks, and USJFCOM Deputy Commander Vice Adm. Robert S. Bob” Harward will participate on a panel Tuesday, May 12, to provide insights about hybrid warfare and its impacts on the future of joint warfare.

The conference also will focus on two recently released military documents — the Joint Operating Environment (JOE) and the Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO).

The JOE lays out the problem statement and sets demand signals for future challenges, and the CCJO, signed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, articulates his vision for how the future Joint Force will operate to address the challenges and meet the demands of future operating environments.
