Joint Forcible Entry Operations: Joint Integrating Concept (JIC)
•Purpose: To examine operations conducted against armed opposition to gain entry into the territory of an adversary as rapidly as possible in order to enable the conduct of follow-on operations or conduct a singular operation.
•Scope: JFEO against a high-end regional competitor possessing significant military capabilities circa 2015.
•Problem: Enemy anti-access campaigns prevent freedom of maneuver.
•Central Idea: A tailored combination of forward-based, forward deployed, pre-positioned and CONUS surge forces in various force postures will enhance the ability to maneuver from operational and strategic distances to an objective to gain access. JFEO force will employ complimentary force multiplying effects that will synchronize Joint, inter-agency, and possibly multinational forces. .

Joint Under Sea Superiority JIC
•Purpose: Identify the critical capabilities required to execute undersea warfare—the conduct of operations to establish battlespace dominance in the undersea environment, permitting friendly forces to accomplish the full range of potential missions and denying an opposing force the effective use of undersea systems and weapons. It includes offensive and defensive submarine, antisubmarine, undersea vehicle, and mine warfare operations.
•Scope: JUSS is an enabling concept covering all undersea warfare missions and primarily supports the Major Combat Operations and the Strategic Deterrence joint operating concepts. It discusses required capabilities without identifying systems that might provide them.
•Problem: Regional adversaries interfere with US interests by attempting to coerce US allies. Littoral areas are involved.
•Central idea: The US assures threatened allies by dissuading and deterring adversary coercion, and defeating any exhibited adversary aggression using undersea warfare, among other types of warfare.

Global Strike JIC
•Purpose: Describes a concept for conducting Global Strike operations during the Seize the Initiative phase of a major combat operation (MCO) in 2015.
•Scope: Identifies and describes the capabilities for conducting Global Strike operations in 2015 and is consistent with and does not deviate from current strategic guidance.
•Problem: The set of enemy targets most applicable for Global Strike (IADS, WMD/WME, TBMs, leadership, C2 infrastructure and networks, etc.) are likely to be employed and protected in ways that offer significant challenges to location, identification, and negation or destruction.
•Central Idea: Describes the capabilities and tasks that will be required to achieve Global Strike effects during the first ten days of an MCO campaign – specifically, the Seize the Initiative Phase.

Integrated Air and Missile Defense JIC
•Purpose: Describes how the Joint Force Commander will integrate capabilities to generate effects and achieve objectives for countering air and missile threats in the context of seizing the initiative during Major Combat Operations circa 2015.
•Scope: Integration of capabilities and overlapping operations to defend the Homeland and US National interests, protect the Joint Force and enable freedom of action by negating an adversaries ability to achieve adverse effects from air and missile capabilities.
•Problem: The future joint force will have to simultaneously defend the Homeland and execute multiple, distributed, and decentralized operations throughout the global battle space, placing unique demands on Joint Force capabilities for countering air and missile threats.
•Central Idea: IAMD requires the integration of capabilities within and among six broad mission areas into a holistic approach that provides interrelated, end-to-end solution sets for countering air and missile threats

SEABASING JIC
•Purpose: Explains relevance to strategic guidance and joint concepts, lays out assumptions and risks, identifies essential capabilities, defines attributes, and provides guidelines of how joint Seabasing can be executed to support national military objectives.
•Scope: Outlines the concept for closing, assembling, employing, and sustaining joint forces from a sea base across the ROMO, circa 2015 to 2025.
•Problem: U.S. forces must react promptly to theater needs from a posture that minimizes footprint, partly because the regions’ low tolerance for long-term foreign military presence no matter how well intentioned.
•Central Idea: Rapid deployment, assembly, command, projection, reconstitution, and re-employment of joint combat power from the sea, while providing continuous support, sustainment, and force protection to select expeditionary joint forces without reliance on land bases within the Joint Operating Area (JOA).
