1. Scope
This joint doctrine note (JDN) describes national strategy, defense strategy, and military strategy. It focuses on the development of military strategy within and for the Joint Force, rather than national or “grand” strategy, which is outside the purview of military doctrine. It emphasizes the description, preparation, production, and implementation of military strategy necessary for the Joint Staff, Services, and combatant commands to fulfill their responsibilities in developing military strategies that support the national strategy as developed by the administration.
2. Purpose
A JDN facilitates information sharing on problems and potential solutions to support formal joint doctrine development and revision. This note discusses the implications of strategy on the use of the military as an instrument of national power. It also examines the evolution of strategy from a general concept to the broad application of capabilities required to pursue national policy objectives. This JDN supplements current joint doctrine and provides context and guidance for members of the joint force who have been put in position to develop military strategy.
