Rethinking Jointness?: The Strategic Value of Jointness in Major Power Competition and Conflict

by Jonathan Welch, Maria McCollester, Mark Cozad

This report examines whether the assumption that jointness-the combination of cross-service activities, capabilities, operations, and organizations that enhances and increases the capabilities of individual services beyond their organic contributions-is valuable to the U.S. military is correct. Understanding which aspects of jointness are most valuable and why can help the Department of Defense compete more effectively against its adversaries.
