11. 11 Joint Operations Concepts
12. 12 Capabilities Building Blocks The right side of the ClearStep Process is a method for examining operational issues based on field activity and exercises being conducted in theater. We sometimes refer to this as the”real life warfighter pain.”
If you developed a solution around just one side of the chart, it would be incomplete and insufficient at best. To be able to provide needed balance for solutions which are relevant to today’s warfighter and the needs, opportunities, and challenges of tomorrow, you need to consider both.
Next, lets define and learn a little about each block on ClearStep Model .

13. 13 Capabilities Building Blocks Joint Operations Concepts (JOpsC)
Joint Operating Concepts are defined as: “ A description of how a future Joint Force Commander will plan, prepare, deploy, employ, and sustain a joint force against potential adversaries’ capabilities or crisis situations specified within the range of military operations. Joint Operating Concepts serve as “engines of transformation” to guide the development and integration of joint functional and Service concepts to describe joint capabilities. They describe the measurable detail needed to conduct experimentation, permit the development of measures of effectiveness, and allow decision makers to compare alternatives and make programmatic decisions.”
We highly recommend that you download and carefully review the approved Joint Operating Concept documented, dated November 2003. If you are developing capabilities documents and capabilities-based requirements the JOpsC provides a wealth of prerequisite knowledge and information you will need to understand before you read the CJCSI 3170 or 3180. It clarifies why the DOD changed it develops requirements and capabilities, and provides background for understanding JCIDS.
For the complete approved version of the Joint Operations Concept (Microsoft Word) go to www.dtic.mil/jointvision/secdef_approved_jopsc.doc. (KIRK/FRANK/MOE - this really should be a link the document on our resources page - if it isn’t already there.)
The Joint Chiefs of Staff and Transformation Planning Guidance have identified four broad initial joint operating concept categories, they are: major combat operations, stability operations, homeland security, and strategic deterrence. Joint Operations Concepts (JOpsC)

14. 14 Capabilities Building Blocks Major Combat Operations (MCOs). MCOs achieve objectives by removing an adversary’s ability to conduct military operations and creating acceptable political conditions for the cessation of hostilities and the imposition of US will. At the direction of the President, the Joint Force will simultaneously “swiftly defeat” two efforts, and, if necessary, win one of those efforts decisively. MCOs are conducted in a campaign consisting of sequential, parallel and simultaneous actions distributed throughout the physical, information and cognitive domains of the global battlespace. Operations will attempt to sustain an increased tempo, placing continuous pressure on the adversary, and will harmonize military action with the application of other instruments of national power. The campaign is designed to dismantle an adversary’s system of offense and defense, preempt their freedom of action, destroy critical capabilities and as rapidly as possible isolate enemy forces. Thereby, the Joint Force will deny the adversary sanctuary, the ability to maneuver and reconstitute, and defeat or destroy them through the integrated application of air, ground, maritime, space and information capabilities.

15. 15 Capabilities Building Blocks Stability Operations. Stability operations are military operations in concert with the other elements of national power and multinational partners, to maintain or re-establish order and promote stability. These consist of global and regional military operations that establish, shape, maintain and refine relations with other nations. Included are operations to ensure the safety of American citizens and US interests while maintaining and improving the US ability to operate with multinational partners to deter hostile ambitions of potential aggressors. Stability operations help ensure unhindered access by the US and its allies to a global economy. These operations may include a wide array of tasks from combat operations, in order to remove isolated pockets of resistance, to peace enforcement, or security cooperation activities.

16. 16 Capabilities Building Blocks Homeland Security (HLS). The highest priority of the United States is HLS. The military mission sets are homeland defense, civil support and emergency preparedness. Homeland defense will be the primary focus of the Homeland Security JOC. Military forces may execute assigned missions in circumstances of emergency, routine or extraordinary nature. The mission sets for homeland defense are aerospace, land and maritime defenses. These are operationalized through attack operations, active defense, passive defense and C4I. The mission sets for civil support are military assistance to civil authorities, military support to civilian law enforcement agencies and military assistance for civil disturbances.

17. 17 Capabilities Building Blocks Strategic Deterrence. Strategic deterrence encompasses the range of DOD efforts and capabilities to discourage aggression or coercion by potential adversaries. Strategic deterrence provides the President with a range of military options and capabilities intended to deter aggressors while requiring only modest reinforcement of forward-deployed and stationed forces from outside the theater. Strategic deterrence includes joint counterproliferation, defense against weapons of mass destruction, overseas presence, peacetime military engagement and nuclear and non-nuclear strike capabilities enhanced by global intelligence.

18. 18 Capabilities Building Blocks Joint Functional Concepts. Using the Joint Operations Concepts and JOCs for their operational context, functional concepts amplify a particular military function and apply broadly across the range of military operations (ROMO). Individual functional concepts outline desired joint capabilities. The JROC will provide guidance for the joint functional concepts to ensure seamless development. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have identified five initial functional concept categories of Joint Command and Control (JC2), Battlespace Awareness, Force Application, Focused Logistics, and Protection. These and potential other functional concepts require JROC guidance for further development and validation through joint experimentation and assessment.Joint Functional Concepts.

37. 37 The Requirement Basic statement
The capability of who to do what under what set of conditions.
The capability of the JTF to destroy mobile scud launchers in the Iraqi desert before they launch.
Each DOTLPF area has a “template” set of requirements that pertain to it
i.e. Training
The capability to train ...
The capability to assess training results...
The capability to assess performance...
The capability to assess competency...
The capability to perform...
etc.
38. 38 The “who” is either a Combatant Commander, a JTFC, a Joint Component, a Service, an Agency, a Unit, a team, or an individual warfighter.
The “what” could be a function, operation, task, activity, or event
Operational requirements should be stated in terms of mission accomplishment - not in terms of physics. State the requirements, not how you think a developer or designer should meet the requirements. That will be addressed in the Performance Requirements.
The Requirement
39. 39 The Requirement Capability to develop doctrine
Timeliness, accuracy, completeness, suitability, usability
Capability to revise doctrine
Timeliness, accuracy, completeness
Capability to test new TTP and doctrine
Timeliness, accuracy, repeatability, data integrity, suitability
Capability to publish/articulate doctrine

“I saw a problem. I observed it first-hand, read about it in an After Action Report, heard about it at a meeting, or saw it on the news. I know something, but I don’t understand the causes and haven’t done any research or investigation to understand neither cause nor effect. I have made some assumptions based on experience and context.”
Issue statements
“I saw a problem. I observed it first-hand, read about it in an After Action Report, heard about it at a meeting, or saw it on the news. I know something, and have done research or investigation to understand cause and effect. I started with some assumptions based on experience and context, but investigation has led me to a fuller understanding of the scope (both breadth and depth) of the problem. I have developed a set of valid statements which must be addressed in order to develop a solution to the problem.”
45. 45 Turning Observations intoMeaningful Issues
46. 46 Capabilities Building Blocks
47. 47 Why Spend Time on the Issues? To properly identify and describe what constitutes “improved mission performance”
Not just recognize pain, but understand the causes
Multiple choice vs. essay
Efficiently identify a set of detailed capabilities and capabilities-based requirements
CBRs naturally flow from well defined issues
Good issue sets:
Make identification of architectures easier
Make writing an operational concept for your program easier, and
Help answer questions from approval authorities
Help justifying solutions to approval authorities
48. 48 Crafting the Issue Statement You have to format the input to get the desired output
Input = well constructed issue statements
Output = operational IERs, complete Ops Concept, Operational Architecture, etc.
Issue statement has two parts
Basic statement of shortcoming, deficiency, or opportunity
WRI (which results in) phrase(s)
The WRIs will help you derive all the requirements or capabilities for the new system.
The WRIs need to be specific.
Essential that as many WRIs as possible be identified to ensure derivation of all valid requirements

Timeliness
Urgency
Unless the issue statement is valid (and true), any solution developed to address it will be inadequate to solve any real warfighting problems.
56. 56 A Good Issue Statement Singular
Specific
Clear
Who has the problem (capability)?
Where does it occur? (Where can it be applied?)
Organization
Geographical location
Is time/threat a factor?
Does the issue diminish performance?
