In addition, Appendix D contains an illustrative CONOPS that refers to many programs, solutions, solution sets, etc. The references in Appendix D are for illustrative purposes only. References in the JIC are not to be used as justification for those programs or solution sets. An analytically supported Capability Based Assessment (CBA) is required to determine the suitability of a variety of solutions or solution sets to support the capabilities specified in this JIC.10 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 11 ii 1269 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY70 The Joint Concept Development and Revision Plan (JCDRP) defines a Joint 71Integrating Concept (JIC) as a description of how a joint force commander (JFC) 72integrates capabilities 10-20 years in the future to generate effects and achieve an 73objective. A JIC includes an illustrative Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for a specific 74scenario (vignette) and a set of distinguishing principles applicable to a range of 75scenarios. JICs have the narrowest focus of all concepts, and distill capabilities derived 76from Joint Operating Concepts (JOCs) and Joint Functional Concepts into fundamental 77tasks and measures required to conduct Capability Based Assessment (CBA).78 This paper describes a concept for conducting Global Strike (GS) operations during 79the “Seize the Initiative” (STI) phase of a major combat operation (MCO) in 2015. The 80principle purpose of this concept is to support rigorous capabilities-based assessment and 81analysis to determine materiel and non-materiel solutions to capability gaps and 82redundancies throughout the Department of Defense. As the basis for performing this 83assessment, this concept identifies effects, capabilities, tasks, attributes, conditions, and 84standards for conducting future Global Strike.85 Within the context of this concept, GS is defined as responsive joint operations that 86strike enemy high value / payoff targets (HVTs/HPTs), as an integral part of joint force 87operations conducted to gain and maintain battlespace access, achieve other desired 88effects and set conditions for follow-on decisive operations to achieve strategic and 89operational objectives. This concept identifies and describes the capabilities for 90conducting Global Strike operations in 2015 and is consistent with and does not deviate 91from current strategic guidance. 13 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 14 iii 1592 This concept integrates primarily the military functions of force application, 93command and control, battlespace awareness, net-centric operations, protection, and 94focused logistics. Each of these is described in a separate Joint Functional Concept. This95concept complements and does not duplicate those concepts. It will describe the 96integration of those functions for Global Strike operations and will discuss individual 97functions only if unique to Global Strike. The types of military operations that could be 98conducted during Global Strike are described in various Joint Operating Concepts and 99other JICs. This concept is under the Major Combat Operations-Seize the Initiative-100Operational Access rubric with interdependencies among all of the Joint Integrating 101Concepts. This concept focuses on how Global Strike operations will enhance and enable102these JICs and discusses the actual conduct of those operations only if unique to Global 103Strike.104 The GS JIC envisions the joint force commander employing joint capabilities 105anywhere in the world, through and in any domain, at the time of his choosing to 106neutralize or destroy high value / payoff targets (HVTs/HPTs) in support of joint force 107efforts to achieve the following effects: 108  Freedom to operate and freedom from attack (gain and maintain operational 109 access)110  Enemy’s will or capabilities significantly reduced111  Conditions set for decisive operations112 Global Strike operations will be executed anywhere in the world using CONUS-113based, forward-based, or deployed forces in a joint planning and execution environment 114with short timelines.16 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 17 iv 181151. Purpose116 The Joint Concept Development and Revision Plan defines a Joint Integrating 117Concept (JIC) as a description of how a joint force commander (JFC) integrates 118capabilities 10-20 years in the future to generate effects and achieve an objective. A JIC 119includes an illustrative CONOPS for a specific scenario (vignette) and a set of 120distinguishing principles applicable to a range of scenarios. JICs have the narrowest 121focus of all concepts, and distill capabilities derived from Joint Operating Concepts 122(JOCs) and Joint Functional Concepts into fundamental tasks and measures required to 123conduct CBA.124 This paper describes a concept for conducting Global Strike operations during the STI125phase of a major combat operation (MCO) in 2015. The principle purpose of this concept126is to support rigorous capabilities-based assessment and analysis to determine materiel 127and non-materiel solutions to capability gaps and redundancies throughout the 128Department of Defense. As the basis for performing this assessment, this concept 129identifies effects, capabilities, tasks, attributes, conditions, and standards for conducting 130future Global Strike.131 In addition, this concept is intended to help drive joint and service experimentation. 132When potential near-term solutions are identified, this concept will also inform the efforts133of combatant commanders and others to improve Global Strike capabilities.19 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 20 1-1 211342. Scope1352.1 Concept Definition136 Within the context of this concept, Global Strike is defined as responsive joint 137operations that strike enemy high value / payoff targets (HVTs/HPTs), as an integral part 138of joint force operations conducted to gain and maintain battlespace access, achieve other139desired effects and set conditions for follow-on decisive operations to achieve strategic 140and operational objectives. This concept identifies and describes the capabilities for 141conducting Global Strike operations in 2015 and is consistent with and does not deviate 142from current strategic guidance. 143 Global Strike requires the ability to prepare, enable, and execute operations to achieve144operational and strategic effects. Effects-based analysis, planning, targeting and 145execution combine to support attacks on HVTs / HPTs, shape the information domain, 146and support setting the conditions for follow-on, decisive operations. This target set will 147include weapons of mass destruction and weapons of mass effect (WMD/WME) 148production, storage, and delivery capabilities, critical command and control facilities, 149anti-access capabilities (radars, surface-to-air missile sites, theater ballistic missile sites), 150adversary leadership, populace perception, and key nodes. In order to engage these 151targets, the joint force will require the capability to find, fix, track, and target moving 152targets. Global Strike operations will generate effects through lethal, non-lethal, kinetic, 153and non-kinetic attacks.154 Because one of the essential effects of Global Strike is gaining and maintaining 155operational access for follow-on operations, early Global Strike operations must occur in 156an anti-access environment. These operations must not only overcome access barriers 22 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 23 2-1 24157such as distance, physical hardening, and active and passive defenses, but also set 158conditions for other forces to operate freely. Although this JIC is set in an anti-access 159environment, the identified capabilities are also applicable in lower threat conditions.160 Global Strike operations will normally be executed within compressed timelines 161(from seconds to days) while exerting persistent effects at potentially great distances from162the continental United States and forward bases. These operations will include attacks 163against fleeting, “time-sensitive targets.” Global Strike operations must be executable 164without requiring establishment of a large logistical footprint.1652.2 Potential Risks166 If events unfold as described in this concept, there may be several associated 167risks. For this discussion, these risks fall into three broad categories as listed in the 168following sections: Science and Technology; Enemy Counter Strategies; and Doctrine, 169Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, and Facilities 170(DOTMLPF).1712.2.1. Science and Technology172  Advances in the Global Information Grid (GIG) do not integrate cross-service, 173 horizontally, or vertically174  US and multinational force weapons development efforts prove inadequate to 175 overcome adversary use of hardened and deeply buried facilities to protect key 176 capabilities177  An inability to field capabilities that can find, fix, track, target, and engage 178 (F2T2E) moving targets responsively25 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 26 2-2 27179  An inability of all US forces to share a common operating picture (COP) 180 throughout the battlespace181  An adversary will weaponize space to deny access182  Effects-based assessment capability is limited or technologically incapable of 183 providing useful information for dynamic tasking1842.2.2. Enemy Counter Strategies185  Adversary advances in camouflage, concealment and deception (CCD) 186 capabilities may outpace US and multinational capabilities to find, fix, track, and 187 target items of interest188  Adversary advances in computer network defense (CND) capabilities may 189 outpace US and multinational capabilities to penetrate adversary computer 190 networks191  Adversary anti-access capability development exceeds US ability to counter192  Adversary employs GIG and COP denial capabilities including computer network193 (CNA) and high-altitude electromagnetic pulse / electromagnetic pulse 194 (HEMP/EMP) attack1952.2.3. DOTMLPF196  Inter-service training does not keep up with doctrinal improvements197  Logistics throughput proves inadequate for ten-day STI persistence198  Inadequate basing for forward deployed/based capabilities1992.3 Military Operations Relationships to Other Joint Concepts200 Within the context of this concept, GS is specifically linked to the MCO JOC; 201however, the capabilities identified in this concept apply across the range of military 28 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 29 2-3 30202operations. This concept is also relevant to the Homeland Security (HLS), Stability 203Operations (SO), and Strategic Deterrence (SD) JOCs. 204 GS capabilities such as surveillance, reconnaissance, intelligence, planning and strike 205support Homeland Security activities including the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). 206These same capabilities can also be essential for supporting Stability Operations. An 207example of the latter is striking a fleeting insurgency target in eastern Afghanistan with 208little warning.209 Maintaining GS capabilities in a constant readiness state and regularly demonstrating 210these capabilities contributes to achieving strategic deterrence. The adversary’s 211perception of US awareness of its activities, our capability of denying him benefits and/or212imposing unacceptable costs, and our willingness to do so may induce restraint.2132.4 Applicable Military Functions and Activities214 GS operations require the capabilities to effectively plan, control, and execute from 215and to anywhere in the world in any domain (land, sea, air, space and cyber-space) to 216generate strategic and operational effects. These capabilities cut across the family of the 217Joint Functional Concepts – Battlespace Awareness (BA), Command and Control (JC2), 218Force Application (FA), Net Centric (NC), and to a lesser degree Protection (P) and 219Focused Logistics (FL). 220 The Joint Staff will assess the tasks identified in this concept to identify capability 221shortfalls and redundancies. Six of the eight Functional Capability Boards (FCBs) will 222perform this CBA on the tasks relevant to each functional area. Appendix C summarizes 223the critical Global Strike capabilities and tasks, and indicates which FCB(s) should be 224primary assessor(s) for each task. 31 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 32 2-4 33225 The Battlespace Awareness FCB should focus assessment efforts on capabilities that: 226support command and control of BA assets; execute collection actions; exploit and 227analyze collected intelligence; model, simulate and forecast adversary actions; and 228manage knowledge and actionable intelligence for decision-makers in support of GS 229missions.230 The Joint Command and Control FCB should focus assessment efforts on capabilities 231that reduce decision-making cycle timelines, increase joint planning commonalities, and 232enhance Service component interdependencies. JC2 will also assess capabilities that 233enable positive C2 throughout all aspects of GS operations, from posturing and deploying234forces and assets through the killchain (Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, and Assess) 235emphasizing persistence and responsiveness. 236 The Force Application FCB should focus assessment efforts on capabilities that 237increase hard and deeply buried target (kinetic and functional) kill, agent defeat 238(neutralization), surface moving target (land and sea), CNA, information operations and 239stealth improvements capabilities, and reduce planning cycle times to facilitate time-240critical targeting throughout the AOR.241 The Net-Centric FCB should focus assessment efforts on capabilities (technical and 242knowledge) that form the basis for a globally synchronized, interdependent joint force 243with common situational awareness/understanding.244 The Protection FCB should focus assessment efforts on capabilities that prevent 245enemy disruption of US and allied operations, specifically airborne, ballistic and cruise 246missile defense, CND, information protection, and survive-to-operate in a WMD/WME 247environment.34 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 35 2-5 36248 The Focused Logistics FCB should concentrate assessment efforts on capabilities 249needed to deploy, sustain, and enable Global Strike forces for the ten-day STI phase of an250MCO.2512.5 Assumptions252 An assumption is a condition necessary for the concept to succeed / be valid that 253cannot be proven through available evidence. The following assumptions apply for this 254concept:255 The 1-4-2-1 force sizing construct remains in effect256 The Global War on Terrorism continues257 The 2012 Baseline Security Posture is extant and remains valid258 For this JIC, Global Strike operations will occur within the 10-30-30 Defense 259 Strategy timelines260 The GIG and COP exist and are functioning at all levels2612.6 Relationships to Other Joint Concepts262 This concept focuses on Global Strike operations with an explicit recognition of the 263overlap with other JICs. For example, Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) and 264Global Strike JICs both identify attacking airborne targets as a key capability. The task 265of destroying anti-access systems to enable “freedom to operate” and “freedom from 266attack” reside in both concepts, but its offensive nature is emphasized in the Global Strike267JIC. Conversely, defending against airborne attack receives greater emphasis in the 268IAMD JIC. 269 Another example of common tasks is the interrelationship among the operations 270described in the Global Strike JIC and the Seabasing, Joint Forcible Entry Operations 37 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 38 2-6 39271(JFEO), and Joint Undersea Superiority (JUSS) JICs. Global Strike capabilities will help 272establish air superiority and set other conditions necessary for successful implementation 273of Seabasing and JFEO. Once in place, sea based forces and capabilities can be 274employed to engage HVT/HPT or to support Global Strike operations. These forces will 275depend, in turn, on the capabilities described in the JUSS JIC, as well as the capabilities 276described in this concept, for freedom to operate and freedom from attack. The 277complementary nature of these JICs reinforces the interdependent nature of joint force 278operations.279 2.7 Impact of Strategic Guidance280 The Defense Planning Guidance (DPG) contains defense strategy and the guidance 281for key planning and programming priorities to execute that strategy. The DPG presents 282the Secretary of Defense’s strategic plan for developing and employing future forces. The283following extract from the 2004 DPG underscores several key elements of this concept: 284the transition to a campaign to swiftly defeat an adversary (seize-the initiative), the 285requirement to project power over potentially long distances, and timeliness 286(responsiveness).40 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 41 2-7 42287288 (U) Experience has taught us that the best way to defend the United States, its 289 interests abroad and its allies and friends is to defeat aggression at its source. As 290 a result, a central element of our defense strategy is to: 291 292  Rapidly transition from a posture of forward deterrence into a joint campaign 293 aimed at swiftly defeating the efforts of adversaries who would seek to impose 294 their will on us or our allies and friends, while preserving the option of 295 decisively defeating any one adversary – to include changing its regime and 296 occupying its territory. 297 298 (U) The new defense strategy requires forces with strategic agility capable of 299 bringing power to bear over long distances in a timely fashion while conducting 300 an active defense of US territory. 301 302 - Secretary’s Forward to the 2004 Defense Planning Guidance (p. 2)303304 The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) provides a top-down look at US defense 305strategy, taking into account the world environment, threats, current forces and programs,306and the resources likely to be available. The following extract from the 2001 QDR 307reinforces the need for responsiveness. The final sentence, calling for long-range 308precision strike capabilities, sets the stage for many of the key capabilities described in 309this concept.310 U.S. forces will remain capable of undertaking major combat operations 311 on a global basis and will train to be effective across a wide range of combat 312 conditions and geographic settings. The focus will be on the ability to act quickly 313 when challenged and to win decisively at a time and place and in the manner of 314 the President's choosing. 315 316 For planning purposes, U.S. forces will remain capable of swiftly 317 defeating attacks against U.S. allies and friends in any two theaters of operation 318 in overlapping timeframes. Combat operations will be structured to eliminate 319 enemy offensive capability across the depth of its territory, restore favorable 320 military conditions in the region, and create acceptable political conditions for 321 the cessation of hostilities. In addition, U.S. forces will degrade an aggressor's 322 ability to coerce others through conventional or asymmetric means, including 323 CBRNE weapons. U.S. forces will fight from a forward deterrent posture with 43 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 44 2-8 45324 immediately employable forces, including long-range precision strike capabilities 325 from within and beyond the theater, and rapidly deployable maneuver 326 capabilities. 327 328 - Quadrennial Defense Review, September 30 2001 (Chapter III, Paradigm Shift 329 in Force Planning, Major Combat Operations, P. 21)46 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 47 2-9 483303. Central and Supporting Ideas3313.1 Statement of the Military Problem to Be Solved 332 In 2015, joint forces will be required to operate anywhere in the world from the 333continental United States, forward bases, and the sea. Future US forces will require both 334greater operational reach and greater persistence than current forces. The strategic and 335operational challenges associated with executing Global Strike primarily center on two 336areas: 337 1) The ability to understand an adversary’s operational systems and methods, and his 338decision-making processes, in order to identify Center(s) of Gravity and HVTs / HPTs; 339and340 2) The physical challenges associated with striking specific Global Strike targets.341 Understanding an adversary’s systems, methods and decision-making processes 342requires a collaborative effort by the US military, government agencies, and 343multinational partners with significant shared responsibilities. A clear challenge is 344establishing the responsibilities, mechanisms and collaborative networks that enable 345gaining the desired level of understanding. 346 In the 2015 operational environment, the set of enemy targets most applicable for 347Global Strike (IADS, WMD/WME, TBMs, leadership, C2 infrastructure and networks, 348etc.) are likely to be employed and protected in ways that offer significant challenges to 349location, identification, and negation or destruction. Techniques to protect these high 350value assets and capabilities could include hardening, deeply burying, hiding, concealing,351camouflaging, and the use of asymmetric or irregular tactics such as integrating 352into/hugging civilian infrastructure. The fleeting nature of many of these targets, the high49 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 50 3-1 51353level decision authority for select strike missions, and the potentially great physical 354distances over which reconnaissance, surveillance and/or strike assets will be required to 355operate will compound the challenge of planning and executing responsive Global Strike.356Key challenges associated with this environment include: 357  Neutralizing or destroying HVTs / HPTs located deep in enemy territory and 358 protected by significant air and missile defense systems, hardening, or 359 burying;360  Destroying and/or neutralizing WMD/WME capabilities without causing 361 substantial collateral damage;362  Executing Global Strike in distant theaters on very short notice363  Executing Global Strike (including finding and tracking) on key enemy 364 leaders or other similar fleeting (time sensitive) targets; 365  Identifying and precisely striking critical nodes and links in key adversary 366 systems.367 Joint force commanders must be able to responsively strike high value and high 368payoff targets in this environment to effectively conduct Global Strike. Likely adversaries369will include near-peer traditional state actors/major regional powers or transnational 370actors.371 A traditional state actor/regional power may possess large, modern ground forces, 372supplemented by specialized paramilitary and local militias. Air and naval forces may be 373less capable than US forces, but sufficient for regional domination. It is likely that this 374adversary’s force planning, military capabilities, and strategy will be based on a 375fundamental assumption that a US-led coalition will present the most likely obstacle to its52 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 53 3-2 54376regional hegemony. This adversary will be expected to have significant anti-access and 377area denial capabilities with modern technologies in a number of niche areas, including 378communications, computers, intelligence, integrated air defenses, mines, submarines, 379long-range fires, unmanned aerial vehicles, WMD/WME (including nuclear weapons and380associated delivery systems), HEMP/EMP capabilities, and access to space.381 This adversary will attempt to counter perceived US capabilities through increased 382mobility and better distribution, miniaturization, hardening, camouflage, concealment and383deception, and shorter exposure operating cycles. If called upon to swiftly or decisively 384defeat this adversary, the joint force will have to fight to gain and maintain operational 385access in order to seize the initiative. 386 The future security environment will also include threats to US vital interests posed 387by a variety of non-state actors, primarily in the form of transnational terrorism. Anti-388access and area denial capabilities will proliferate and failed states will increasingly serve389as havens for hostile non-state actors. In the context of the Global War on Terrorism 390(GWOT), the US and her multinational partners will continue efforts to deter and defeat 391WMD/WME proliferation to prevent terrorists from obtaining such weapons or 392development technologies.393 Even in the midst of an MCO campaign, joint forces will require the capability for 394time-critical targeting in support of GWOT in an AOR far removed from the ongoing 395MCO. 396 An illustrative vignette (CONOPS) for one possible MCO scenario is provided in 397Appendix D.55 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 56 3-3 573983.2 Central Idea399 This concept describes the capabilities and tasks that will be required to achieve GS 400effects during the first ten days of an MCO campaign – specifically, the STI Phase. As 401discussed above, the capabilities needed for time-critical targeting in an AOR far 402removed from the ongoing MCO are also addressed. 403 Global Strike operations are executed against select HVTs / HPTs that support joint 404force operations to overcome adversary anti-access capabilities, produce other effects to 405achieve operational and strategic objectives, and enable follow-on decisive operations to 406defeat the adversary. 407 This concept envisions the joint force commander employing joint capabilities 408anywhere in the world through and in any domain at the time of his choosing to 409neutralize or destroy HVTs and/or HPTs in support of joint force efforts to achieve the 410following effects: 411  Freedom to operate and freedom from attack (gain and maintain operational 412 access)413  Enemy’s will or capabilities significantly reduced414  Conditions set for decisive operations415 Global Strike operations will be executed anywhere in the world using CONUS-416based, forward-based, or deployed forces in a joint planning and execution environment 417with short timelines.4183.3 Application of Concept within a Campaign Framework419 Within the context of a joint campaign, and focused on generating the effects 420described previously, preparation and posturing are essential to successful GS operations.58 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 59 3-4 60421The right forces and capabilities must be in the right place at the right time and these 422forces must be trained and prepared to responsively execute GS in support of joint force 423operations.424 The planning conducted during preparation and posturing relies on comprehensive 425joint and inter-agency collaboration that enables shared understanding, timely and 426informed decision-making, and development of timely and accurate products related to 427Global Strike mission planning and execution. The joint force commander, along with 428DoD and other government agencies involved in Global Strike planning will use this 429collaborative information and planning environment to establish a shared view of the 430adversary’s operational systems, methods, and decision-making processes in order to 431identify center(s) of gravity (COG), critical requirements (CR), critical capabilities (CC), 432and critical vulnerabilities (CV). Collaboration enhances the ability of commanders to 433gain situational awareness and coordinate force and capability posturing to optimize the 434application of Global Strike capabilities and the effects achieved. This comprehensive 435collaboration relies on a networked information environment involving warfighters, 436government agencies, decision makers, and multinational partners.437 Collaborative planning and networking expedites the distribution of national and 438theater level guidance and decisions, the predictive analysis underpinning Global Strike 439planning, the dissemination of operational and strategic objectives and commander’s 440intent, and the dissemination of Global Strike plans and orders.441 Predictive analysis focuses planning on the adversary’s COGs and CCs. It helps 442identify indicators and events that will confirm the accuracy of anticipated adversary 443activities and actions. Predicted events may provide the “trigger” mechanism for 61 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 62 3-5 63444initiating Global Strike operations. Predictive analysis also enables the identification and445understanding of nodes, linkages within the adversary system(s), and accurate delineation446of expected effects. This visualization and analysis requires persistent collection to 447characterize adversary systems, dependencies, and relationships. 448 Predictive analysis and planning consider all available forces and capabilities, 449including CONUS-based, forward-based and deployed forces, and all appropriate 450combinations. The analysis includes examining the various combinations of forces and 451assets available to execute a Global Strike mission against the HVT/HPT, and assessing 452the ability of each to achieve the desired effect while minimizing unintended effects. 453 The analysis and planning conducted during preparation and posturing results in 454specific actions, consistent with national and theater level guidance, which include the 455following:456  Repositioning or reallocation of surveillance and reconnaissance assets to 457 support target tracking, identifying and assessment requirements;458  Establishing communication links that provide required “sensor to sensor” and459 “sensor to shooter” links and positive C2 of Global Strike missions;460  Positioning or arranging for logistical support capabilities for 461 potential/planned missions;462  Employing reconnaissance capabilities to support planning or future 463 execution;464  Coordinating with multinational partners for use of airspace or territory; and465  Posturing forces for Global Strike missions.64 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 65 3-6 66466 Information Operations (IO) efforts will include planning and implementing strategic 467communications and public information announcements and releases (as appropriate). 468An integral part of Global Strike preparation and posturing, IO must include measures to 469protect friendly plans and networks and deny the adversary knowledge of pending 470operations. Mission planning includes planning for assessment of effects achieved and 471dynamically tasking if required and appropriate, plus disengagement/redeployment of 472forces and assets as applicable.473 Preparing and posturing actions set the conditions for successful execution of Global 474Strike operations. Forces and assets for specific Global Strike missions will be selected 475based on a myriad of factors including target characteristics, location and 476defensive/protection status, desired effects, time constraints or considerations, diplomatic 477considerations or limitations, and multinational involvement. Some operations may 478require minimum preparation time while others may require precise timing at some point 479in the future. Where appropriate, forward-based or deployed forces and assets can be 480used to execute strikes to enhance responsiveness, surprise, and survivability. In other 481cases, CONUS-based forces and assets may be the optimal solution for strike execution; 482however, use of these assets may complicate response and surprise challenges, 483reinforcing the need to posture these forces and assets early. Some preparation and 484posturing actions will require a national level decision for execution.485 A unique aspect of Global Strike operations is the likelihood that forces will originate 486outside the affected regional component commander’s AOR. An organizational C2 487structure must be clearly specified to maximize mission effectiveness and minimize 488friction and “fog of war” among all HQs involved in Global Strike operations. The 67 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 68 3-7 69489controlling HQ (JF HQ, JTF HQ, COCOM HQ, etc.) located in CONUS or in-theater 490initiates mission execution and exercises positive command and control of mission forces491and assets through mission completion and assessment. As mentioned above, in some 492circumstances multiple HQs will control individual missions at various points in time; 493therefore command relationships throughout the entire operation must be clearly 494specified during planning. 495 The commander must establish the requisite communications links to ensure 496comprehensive “sensor-to-sensor” and “sensor-to-shooter” data flow and positive C2, 497which is made much less complex by the extant plug-and-play network. Assured 498communications with the strike forces and supporting surveillance and reconnaissance 499assets, which may include CONUS-based/launched, and forward based/deployed forces 500(air, land, sea, cyber) and combinations thereof, as well as national, interagency and 501multinational assets, is essential to maintaining positive command and control. The 502controlling HQ monitors execution of the mission, updates its analysis as the mission 503progresses, and provides mission updates and mission changes directly to strike forces, 504including the redirection of strike assets to other higher priority targets as appropriate. 505 In support of strike execution, collection assets continue to track/monitor HVTs / 506HPTs, providing continuous location and status updates, enabling the controlling HQ to 507have an immediate assessment of effects achieved, and enabling dynamic tasking (if 508required and appropriate.) IO, strategic communications, public information warnings 509and announcements may also be executed before, during and/or after strikes to enhance 510effectiveness.70 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 71 3-8 72511 Once achievement of the desired effect is confirmed, the controlling HQ directs and 512monitors the disengagement of forces and assets as applicable. This disengagement 513could include redeployment, transition to other Global Strike missions, or transition to 514other type missions.73 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 74 3-9 755154. Capabilities, Tasks and Attributes516 Global Strike operations rely upon three types of capabilities: preparation, enabling, 517and execution capabilities. These capabilities will be required for all phases of an 518operation; however the weight of effort will shift as planning progresses through 519execution. Each capability and task will be measured using a set of attributes specified in 520Section 4.2.5214.1 Capabilities and Tasks522 The capabilities and tasks required to prepare for, enable, and execute Global Strike 523operations follow. These capabilities and tasks are also listed in table format in 524Appendix C.5254.1.1 Preparation526 The capabilities required to prepare for Global Strike operations consist of monitoring527potential adversaries (and others) and planning. Preparation includes both long- and 528short-term actions. Long-term preparation involves analysis of world trends with the 529goal of identifying potential future problem areas. This will reduce crisis planning 530timelines and assist with predictive analysis as well as guide shaping and deterrence 531actions. Short-term preparation deals more specifically with rapidly emerging threats and532continues into and throughout an actual conflict. In both cases, preparation should be 533seamless and cyclical.5344.1.1.1 Monitor Potential Adversaries535 Successful Global Strike operations will require long-term and in-depth knowledge of536potential adversaries. In order to achieve this, the joint force will monitor, task, and 537integrate intelligence collected from tactical, theater and national assets; analyze 76 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 77 4-1 78538adversary culture, leadership, command and control and military capabilities; and 539predictively analyze adversary intentions, goals, and objectives. 540 Intelligence tasks supporting Global Strike include the ability to detect, identify, 541characterize and track items, activities, events, and persons worldwide. These capabilities542require persistent observation, reconnaissance, and information collection from both open543and clandestine sources. Collection activities must access remote and denied areas and 544defeat camouflage, concealment, and deception (CCD) through sensor positioning and 545the development of new sensing capabilities. Furthermore, these activities should be 546tailorable to enable both wide-area and narrowly focused coverage in order to find, fix, 547and continuously track specific targets.548 As GS operations proceed, commanders will need to prioritize limited resources. This549will require informed trade-offs between competing collection requirements. 550Commanders must have the ability to dynamically task specific collection assets and 551resources to satisfy requirements, perform higher-priority missions, and synchronize ISR 552tasks with operations.553 In order to produce actionable intelligence for the commander, joint forces must 554retrieve, filter, combine, and display information from various sources and ensure the 555right information reaches the decision-maker in a useable format. The joint force must 556leverage technical advances to enhance intelligence information dissemination. 557 Tasks:558  Develop adversary characterization through long-term, in-depth intelligence 559 collection and exploitation;560  Determine adversary critical capabilities and vulnerabilities;79 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 80 4-2 81561  Identify, assess and mitigate intelligence gaps;562  Process and fuse collected data into intelligence;563  Dynamically task collection assets;564  Find targets (moving, mobile, hardened and/or underground, concealed, critical 565 infrastructure, leadership, WMD/WME and related facilities and systems);566  Fix targets (moving, mobile, hardened and/or underground, concealed, critical 567 infrastructure, leadership, WMD/WME, and related facilities and systems);568  Track targets (moving and mobile); and569  Target (moving; mobile; hardened and/or underground; concealed; critical 570 infrastructure; leadership; WMD/WME and related facilities and systems targets).5714.1.1.2 Plan572 Planning for Global Strike operations should begin pre-crisis and continue throughout573MCO. Long-term, deliberate planning should be a continuous, cyclical process that 574provides the foundation for rapid, seamless transition to crisis action planning. Global 575Strike operational course of action (COA) development should be effects-based, focused 576on exploiting adversary critical vulnerabilities while considering friendly critical 577capabilities as well as collateral damage. 578 Effects-based planning for GS operations begins with commander’s intent and the 579strategic/operational objectives. Planners must collaborate with all relevant combatant 580commands, US government agencies and multinational partners. The joint force should 581leverage networking and automation to assist in planning and decision-making.582 Planners must have the ability to predict desirable and undesirable attack 583consequences and how effects may propagate throughout an adversary’s system while 82 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 83 4-3 84584maintaining flexibility and initiative when the unexpected occurs. This analysis will 585guide COA development as well as post-strike collection efforts to assess mission 586success.587 Tasks:588  Perform collaborative deliberate planning;589  Perform collaborative crisis planning;590  Determine commander’s intent;591  Develop course of action;592  Determine HVTs/HPTs;593  Evaluate strike consequences;594  Estimate collateral damage; and595  Identify friendly critical capabilities.5964.1.2 Enabling597 Global Strike enabling capabilities support preparation and execution activities. These598capabilities consist of Joint Command and Control (JC2) and Net-Centric (NC) 599operations. The enabling capabilities provide the joint force commander with all required600information about the operational environment and the means to disseminate guidance 601and orders to all force echelons.6024.1.2.1 Joint Command and Control (JC2)603 As with all military operations, effective command and control of GS operations is 604essential. GS JC2 must be structured for the rapid dissemination and distribution of 605decisions and guidance from the President and/or Secretary of Defense. The JFC must 606have an accurate picture of the operating environment depicting all friendly forces, 85 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 86 4-4 87607adversary forces, and neutral parties. Furthermore, the commander requires an integrated 608network and collaborative environment for disseminating orders, mission statements, 609commander’s intent, desired end states, desired effects, and desired objectives to all force610echelons. 611 In the context of MCO, GS operations will require synchronization and coordination 612with multiple regional component commanders, multinational partners, and US 613government agencies. Multiple, and often simultaneous, GS operations may be 614distributed across one or more joint operating areas (JOAs). The forces conducting 615Global Strike may originate in one commander’s AOR, transit through one or more 616additional AORs, and achieve the intended effects in still another commander’s AOR. As617discussed previously in Section 3.3, command relationships throughout the entire 618operation must be clearly specified and understood at all echelons.619 Finally, considering the close relationship between Global Strike operations and 620operational/strategic objectives and the political sensitivities associated with strikes of 621this nature, the commander may in some circumstances need the capability to change or 622terminate missions after giving an execution order.623 Tasks:624  Identify and track all adversaries and neutrals in the JOA;625  Identify and track all “Blue” forces in the JOA;626  Specify command relationships for GS operations;627  Communicate orders to all echelons;628  Terminate/change strike missions;88 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 89 4-5 90629  Identify and precisely locate critical nodes and links in various adversary key 630 systems associated with important military or economic activities;631  Improve cultural awareness to understand actions, groups, and ideologies 632 influencing the targeted regional populace; and633  Develop an understanding of the adversary that accounts for all Political, Military,634 Economic, Social, Infrastructure, and Informational (PMESII) factors.6354.1.2.2 Net-Centric (NC) Operations 636 A critical enabling capability, NC operations are essential to the conduct of future 637war. GS operations will rely upon net-centricity to meet the anticipated response 638requirements and to achieve the high degree of collaboration required from planning 639through execution. The machine-machine and human-machine interfaces at the core of 640net-centricity will enable superior information flow, shorter response timelines, and more641accurate execution within established parameters.642 Net-centricity will allow the joint force to establish, adapt, manage, and optimize 643communications and connectivity. GS operations’ information sharing will require 644secure data transmission, transport (air waves, hard line, bandwidth “pipe,” etc.), 645reception, voice, image and video signals’ capabilities. The networks supporting joint 646forces must be scalable and adaptable. These networks must rapidly transfer and sort 647multi-level intelligence. 648 The increased net-centricity emphasis along with the associated technological 649requirements creates new vulnerabilities. Network, signals, and information protection 650and defense will be critical to NC operations.651 Tasks:91 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 92 4-6 93652  Deploy network linking all joint force elements (interoperability);653  Deploy network linking joint force with other government agencies;654  Protect the network and data within;655  Transfer and sort updated multi-level intelligence;656  Adjust communications links and filters to enable establishment of required 657 “sensor to sensor” and “sensor to shooter” links;658  Establish appropriate organizational relationships; and659  Operate interdependently.6604.1.3 Execution661 Global Strike execution capabilities include actual strike mechanics (kinetic or non-662kinetic) and effects assessment. These capabilities will characterize the joint forces 663conducting Global Strike operations and provide the commander with the information 664needed to evaluate mission results.6654.1.3.1 Global Strike666 Achieving effects at the time and place of our choosing is the essence of GS 667operations. These effects must be precise and scalable, and in the context of MCO, 668persistent. As discussed previously, the responsiveness required for Global Strike 669operations is situation dependent; however, in all cases, the joint force must have the 670capability to conduct and support multiple, simultaneous attacks, often at extended 671ranges. These strikes may be executed by air, ground, space, maritime, or special forces, 672and will be delivered through and into any domain. 673 The responsiveness of the joint force to Global Strike tasking will depend on force 674structure, mobility/speed, and standoff capabilities. Force structure falls into three 94 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 95 4-7 96675categories, CONUS-based, forward stationed, and forward deployed. Mobility/speed and 676standoff capabilities are inherent characteristics of particular forces.677 Following an execution order, GS operations can be characterized by two phases—678maneuver and engagement. Joint forces executing Global Strikes must be capable of 679maneuvering in a robust anti-access environment. For information operations and other 680non-kinetic actions, the maneuver phase can be visualized as the events immediately 681proceeding effects delivery.682 GS operations must be able to engage the full range of fixed, mobile, time critical, 683and specialized targets (including C2 nodes, leadership, missiles, WMD/WME, and 684HDBT). These targets will be engaged using kinetic weapons and other non-kinetic 685means based on the nature of the target and the desired effects. Adversary integrated air 686defenses and theater ballistic missiles will be engaged utilizing low-observable systems 687or other technologies to deny detection. Global Strike operations will require highly 688reliable forces capable of achieving precise effects such as biological or chemical agent 689defeat. Collateral damage must be minimized. Operating environments will include 690complex and urban terrain.691 Tasks:692  Posture forces (forces and facilities);693  Position forces to engage (maneuver);694  Engage WMD/WME production, storage, and delivery targets;695  Neutralize WMD active agents;696  Engage moving land targets;697  Engage moving maritime targets;97 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 98 4-8 99698  Engage airborne targets;699  Engage hard and deeply buried targets (destroy or functionally disable);700  Engage leadership targets;701  Attack computer networks and other IO targets;702  Deceive, disrupt, deny, degrade, and destroy (D5) anti-access capabilities; and703  Recover and regenerate forces.7044.1.3.2 Assess and Report705 Effective combat assessment is essential to GS operations. In the dynamic 706battlespace environment with changing conditions and effects prioritization, an enroute 707termination and dynamic tasking capability requirement will give the commander the 708greatest battlespace flexibility. 709 The joint force must have the capability to evaluate, via observation or other means, 710the success of GS operations. Beyond the traditional notion of battle damage assessment, 711future GS operations will also rely upon a rapid systemic analysis to evaluate not only 712first-order but also higher-order effects. Long-term evaluation, however, will also be 713required to evaluate some effects.714 Commanders must have these mission results and make these results readily available715to forces at all echelons.716 Tasks:717  Determine immediate objective results 718  Determine long-term objective results719  Report mission status100 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 101 4-9 1027204.2 Attributes721 Global Strike capabilities and tasks will be measured using the following set of 722specified attributes: Responsiveness, Survivability, Persistence, Effects Spectrum, and 723Surprise. Not all of these attributes will apply to all the capabilities and tasks described 724in this concept.725The tables in Appendix C identify which attributes apply to each task.103 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 104 4-10 1057265. Implications7275.1 Capability Based Assessment 728 The GS JIC is written to focus the CBA within the functional areas, across the 729functional areas, and across the different JICs, as discussed below.7305.1.1 Within Functional Areas731 Each of the tasks listed in Section 4 and Appendix C has one (or more) Functional 732Capabilities Board (FCB) assigned for assessment. However, each FCB should review 733the entire list of tasks and assess any additional tasks they deem appropriate. This 734process will help ensure that each FCB is aware of and provides the GS capabilities 735needed from their individual Joint Functional Concept.7365.1.2 Across Functional Areas737 The identification of critical capabilities allows a focused CBA on the end-to-end 738integration of capabilities across two or more Joint Functional Concepts. This type of 739assessment can help ensure multiple FCBs are approaching the problem in a manner that 740ensures interoperability and full integration of capabilities needed for GS operations.7415.1.3 Among Different JICs742 The specification of capabilities in Section 4 and Appendix C also allows a focused 743CBA on common capability needs across different concepts. This type of assessment can744help provide insight into demands for the same capabilities outside the individual 745concept. Examples include the surveillance, reconnaissance, and attack capabilities 746needed for GS, IAMD (Offensive Counter Air operations), Joint Forcible Entry 747Operations, and Joint Undersea Superiority.106 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 107 5-1 1087485.2 Concept Experimentation 749 US Joint Forces Command, other combatant commands, and the Services should 750examine opportunities to conduct/sponsor experimentation, wargaming, and exercises 751centered on the concepts and capabilities identified in this Global Strike JIC. 752Observations and recommendations from these events should be sent to the lead 753developer and considered for incorporation into future versions of the concept. Proposed 754changes will be vetted through the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System 755(JCIDS) process.7565.3 Limited Focus757 This JIC focuses on the capabilities needed for gaining operational access, creating 758operational and strategic effects, and setting conditions for follow-on decisive operations 759in the STI Phase of an MCO. Additional concepts or future revisions of this concept 760should describe the employment of Global Strike capabilities across the entire range of 761military operations.109 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 110 5-2 111762 APPENDICES763 Appendix A, Reference Documents764Battlespace Awareness Joint Functional Concept (version 1.0), Feb 04765CDRUSSTRATCOM CONPLAN 8022-02, Strategic Concept, 4 Jun 03766Command and Control Joint Functional Concept (version 1.0), Feb 04767Defense Planning Guidance, 2004-2009768Focused Logistics Joint Functional Concept (version 1.0), Feb 04769Force Application Joint Functional Concept (version 1.0), Feb 04770Global Strike CONOPS, HQ ACC, 24 May 04771Joint Concept Development and Revision Plan, 30 Jul 04772Major Combat Operations 2, DPS773Major Combat Operations Joint Operating Concept (version 1.0), 20 Jul 04774Marine Corps Doctrine Pamphlet 1, Warfighting, 20 Jun 97775National Military Strategy of the United States of America, 2004776National Security Strategy, Sep 2002777National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction, Dec 2002778Protection Joint Functional Concept (version 1.0), 30 Jun 04779Quadrennial Defense Review, 30 Sep 2001780Strategic Deterrence Joint Operating Concept (version 1.0), Jan 04781Strategic Planning Guidance, FY 2006-2011112 Global Strike Joint Integrating Concept, Version 1.0 113 A-1 114782 Appendix B, Glossary783Part I.
