Summary

3. Overview Issue DJ7 Guidance Background Way Ahead Assessment
In order to ensure the joint library remains focused on the strategic and operational success of the Joint Force Commander and deliver joint doctrine in a timely manner, the Joint Doctrine Development Process (JDDP) must be refined to make certain the joint library is relevant, current and manageable within the limitations of available resources.
DJ7 Guidance
Joint doctrine will become more adaptive and flexible to meet joint force demands in support of the National Security Strategy, National Defense Strategy, and National Military Strategy
Engagement with JDPC stakeholders (JDDC, JSDS’, LA’s, TRA’s, Services)
Outreach to authors, sponsors, review authorities, and other doctrine organizations
Background
Re-engineer the JDDP based off guidance from DJ-7 and recommendations from the JDDC
Codify methodology to “right-size” the joint library
Initiated Reset of JP 2-0 Series
Conduct Special Studies ISO hierarchy reset
Work with JDDC (CCMDs, Svc’s) to improve program
Nominated JPs for removal: 3-04 to USN, 4-06 to Keystone; 1-05 to Keystone and JDIR/JSS product
Way Ahead Assessment
Optimize efficiency while adjusting to personnel and fiscal reductions
Ensure the library provides strategic guidance to enable operational success and does not mire itself in the tactical
Offer alternatives for current JPs that would be better served as an alternate product
Fully implement identified refinements in CJCSI 5120

8. Summary
Mid-year changes to be reflected in updated development and assessment schedule
Developing adaptive joint doctrine for the employment of today’s joint force is not a perfect process, but is:
Informed by strategic guidance and priorities
Responsive to globally integrated operations and exercises
Refined through iterative assessment and feedback processes
The joint doctrine library reset is on track to:
Reflect a portfolio that is lean and “right size”
Appropriately linked to joint warfighting functions
Manageable within manpower and fiscal limitations
Adapt more efficiently the real time changes needed with minimal trickle down effects
