7. Consideration of War JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
Described as: “…a state of open and declared armed conflict….. to achieve political objectives.”
Clausewitzian Paradigms Shift:
FROM: “a complex, human undertaking that does not respond to deterministic rules.”
TO: More focus on “…continuation of politics by other means…”
Shifting to interplay of National Interest (vital, important and peripheral) and emphasizing “Will”.
Defining “Will” and its importance in achieving National objectives.

8. The Constant Nature of War “War is clash between opposing human wills”
JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
The Constant Nature of War
Nature- The nature of war is constant. Clausewitz, summarized this fundamental aspect neatly in his description of war as a “remarkable trinity, composed of primordial passion, reason, and chance.”
“War is clash between opposing human wills”
Human Dimension is central and demands strategic attention
Friction is created by the clash of opposing will creates
Uncertainty is related to friction and defines the atmosphere surrounding war itself.
“(A) remarkable trinity, composed of primordial violence, hatred, and enmity (passion) the play of chance and probability; and the element of subordination as an instrument of policy, which makes it subject to reason.”

9. The Changing Character of War
JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
The Changing Character of War
“ It is my assumption today that it would be very difficult for any conflict to be isolated to a region Any conflict we have will be trans-regional, multi-domain and multi-functional.” – General Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
Character- The character of war is variable.
A critical job of military leaders is to determine the character of the war that might occur. That judgement should inform the political decision to fight or take action that could lead to war.

10. Command & Control JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
Framing the security environment based on evolving National security threats:
Trans-regional conflicts spanning more than one country of geographical area of responsibility
Multi-domain conflict occurring across land, sea, air, space and cyberspace
Multi-functional application of the seven joint functions to enable the JFC to best leverage strategic outcome
Vignettes for TMM?
Command & Control

11. Contextualizing the “Contemporary Security Environment”
JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
Contextualizing the “Contemporary Security Environment”
Expands the discussion on "Globally Integrated Operations”
Global Command and Control
Responsiveness
Cross-Domain Operations
Integrated Physical and Information Power
Partner Integration
Resilience

12. War as an Instrument of Policy (The Strategic Use of Force)
JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
War as an Instrument of Policy (The Strategic Use of Force)
“War is an extension of both policy and politics with the addition of military force.… Given that war does not exist for its own sake, senior military leaders must be attentive to desired policy aims.”
Strategic Outcomes
Campaigning
Operations
Global Integration

13. JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
Setting the Strategy for the uses of Military Force (four strategic outcomes):
Compellence
Coercion
Deterrence
Assurance

14. The Competition Continuum
JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
The Competition Continuum
Violence
FROM: Range of Military Operations characterized by four groups (Major Operations, Crisis Response and Limited Contingency and Military Engagement, Security Cooperation, and Deterrence)
TO: Competition Continuum defined as four strategic uses of military force implemented through campaigns, operations and activities that vary in purpose.
Not Conflict??
Conflict??

15. JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
Inside the New Competitive Continuum: “…it is useful from a strategic perspective to delineate the military instrument of national power into three broad categories- cooperation, competition below armed conflict and armed conflict/war.”
Cooperation. (M)utually beneficial relationships between actors with compatible interest…
Competition below armed conflict: Exists when two or more actors have incompatible interests but neither seeks armed conflict.
Armed conflict: (O)ccurs when an actor uses violence as the primary means to satisfy its interests. Armed conflict typically implies war and involves the coercion or compellence uses of military force.
Note the difference of the competition continuum with JP1, 2013.

21. Definition of “Will” JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
Defined as: “the volition and determination to achieve a goal– in this sense, an objective related to national interest. In war, the achieving the political objective depends upon both means and will.”
“Means” is a fixed commodity/ The Amount of will elicited is relative to the level of interest pursued (vital, important or peripheral).
“Will” affects traditional war
Traditional since interest and will are related, this leads to an asymmetry of will that can tilt the probability of success in “weaker” opponent’s favor regardless of the means available. This situation often leads to irregular warfare.

22. Simplifying the Strategic, Operational, or Tactical Purpose
JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
Simplifying the Strategic, Operational, or Tactical Purpose
Strategic
Level
Operational
Level
The strategic level of warfare includes development and promulgation of national and theater strategies .
JDN 1-18 Strategy: expands on the development and implementation of Strategy
The focus of this level is the application of operational art. Combatant commanders (CCDRs) link strategy and tactics through campaigns and operations to achieve theater and national strategic objectives.
Tactical Level
Activities at this level focus on the ordered arrangement and maneuver of combat elements in relation to each other and the enemy to achieve combat objectives.

23. Integrated Military and Non-military Ops
JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
Integrated Military and Non-military Ops
Contemporary Security Environment: “… activities along the spectrum of strategic relationships are dynamic and complex. An Actor may be concurrently in armed conflict, competing, and cooperating with one or more actors… “The need for integrated military and non-military solutions in this context, combined with the transregional, multi-domain, and multi-dimensional character of security challenges has changed the way the Joint Force plans and operates”

24. Expanded Global Integrated Ops Discussion:
JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
Globally Integrated Operations: Described as… how the Joint Force fights—how it achieves military objectives in support of sustainable strategic outcomes in the face of TMM threats to national security.
Expanded Global Integrated Ops Discussion:
Global Command and Control – “…manages the employment of the Joint Force. …essential to quickly forming, adapting, dissolving, and reforming forces; prioritizing and allocating resources; and establishing command authority for ops in response to multiple, simultaneous, transregional threats”.
Responsiveness – “…translates orders into action”. …requires global agility, operational reach, and comprehensive readiness.

25. Globally Integrated Operations Discussion Expanded:
JP 1 vol 1 – Highlights
Globally Integrated Operations Discussion Expanded:
Cross-Domain Operations – “The foundation of U.S. warfighting capability is the Joint Force's ability to integrate capabilities across multiple domains to achieve a military advantage”.
Integrated Physical and Information Power – “The Joint Force acknowledges that physical actions, military and non-military, are inseparable from their psychological effect”.
Partner Integration – “The U.S. military cannot achieve sustainable strategic outcomes acting alone”.
