Joint Operations

The Joint Operations Mission Area focuses on the activities where government entities must work together to address national security challenges through the implementation of common and intersecting functions. In particular, the challenge domains of Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction, the Global War on Terrorism, global engagement to include the Pivot to Asia, plus the transformation of defense policy and strategy are closely interrelated and stimulate requirements for joint operations strategic planning and analyses. These are domains where we have significant capabilities and a broad network that enables our work – and they are national priorities of increasing attention. Within these domains Joint Operations analysts perform the fundamental functions of proliferation security analysis, strategy analysis, requirements analysis/generation, policy analysis/development and exercise development/execution. These functions and their associated requirements frame the services we provide in Joint Operations.
