We just posted Gerry Gilmore’s American Forces Press Service piece covering the media availability on the CCJO wargame Vice Adm. Harward, our deputy commander, and Rear Adm. Davenport, our joint concept development and experimentation director, did yesterday.

Looking backward at what deterrence meant during the Cold War is helping to inform what it will mean for the force of the future.

A quote from Vice Adm. Harward:

“How does this deterrence work when we’re dealing with nonstate actors who are empowered with technology and weapons that have significant impact upon the tactical and operational, if not the strategic level?”

Wargaming the future

MC2(AW) Nikki Carter just finished a story about a wargame which will look at how the joint force will fight the wars of the future as outlined in the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s Capstone Concept for Joint Operations.

This is especially exciting given some of the types of people who are participating. From the story

“We have some very significant participation at the three- and four-star level, policy makers, former National Security Council members, former assistants to the president for homeland security, political and interagency participation. A very august crowd for a week-long wargame.” – Navy Vice Adm. Robert S. Harward, USJFCOM deputy commander.
