In our booth at the Joint Warfighting Conference, Wilson talks to how the CCJO describes the joint operations for policy makers.
Wilson said the CCJO provides one means for the chairman to “tell the story of the military’s role as an instrument of national power.”
He went on to say that the CCJO describes the joint force as an instrument of policy, discussing what the joint force brings to national efforts, its fundamental purpose to deter and wage war.
“The joint force must provide options, competencies for political leaders,” Wilson said.
Wilson said the central tenant of the CCJO is that the joint force can generate integrated and adaptive joint operations through interrelated needs.
“Understanding each situation on its own terms, not redefining to conform to some pre-doctrinal solution,” Wilson said. “Integrating and applying some combination of combat, security, relief and reconstruction and engagement to meet the circumstances presented and assessing and modifying as needed.”
