In today's complex global security environment, staying ahead of the curve is paramount for the joint force. From strategic competition with major powers to rapidly evolving technologies, the character of warfare is constantly changing. That's why continuous learning and adaptation are more critical than ever. 

 

The Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC) provides a crucial framework for understanding and navigating this evolving landscape. It is a strategic document that informs the Joint Force development and design, advances the Joint Force’s operational effectiveness and capability employment to meet current and future challenges. Think of it as a shared vision, guiding us toward a common destination. 

 

To that end, a new JWC course is now available on JKO SIPR! 

 

Why is this course important? 

  • Enhance joint readiness: This course empowers you to understand and operationalize new capabilities, making you "relevant overnight," as retired Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Matthew Glavy, prior deputy commandant for information, described the importance of education, according to National Defense Magazine

  • Drive innovation: Education, learning, and adaptation are "foundational enablers for innovation" that will "[drive] us to solutions faster than potential adversaries," according to Navy Vice Adm. Jeff Hughes, prior deputy chief of naval operations for warfighting development, as stated by National Defense Magazine

  • Decompose and understand: This course breaks down the JWC into critical capabilities needed for a highly contested fight, focusing on identifying physics-based modeling and simulation that can present options and choices tied to campaign-level modeling.
