Publisher's Synopsis
Joint Vision 2010 provides the overall joint warfighting vision for the military services. The services provide the forces, systems and expertise to fulfill this vision. Each service has fundamental roles or core competencies it provides for the Nation's defense. How the services define their core competencies and align them with the new operational concepts of Joint Vision 2010 is discussed. Since not all services use core competencies, suggested core competencies are derived from current service doctrine and vision documents. Despite the short time since Joint Vision 2010 release, the services already are adapting and incorporating most Joint Vision operational concepts. As these concepts are developed, service core competencies will overlap in some areas. Interservice rivalry concerning core competencies will continue and can be productive. Having a blend of service core competencies for use by the Joint Forces Commander is the key to future joint effectiveness to fulfill the Joint Vision.
