28
How does a systems perspective apply to operational design?
A systems perspective focuses on RAFT (relationships, actors, functions, tensions) within the strategic and operational environments. It shows how systems (e.g.- PMESII, METT-TC, OAKOC, ASCOPE) are interrelated and how changes in one system can ripple into others. (links and nodes). Ultimately shapes the operational approach.
29
What are the 7 tenets of Multinational Operations? (RRPMTTK)
1. Respect 2. Rapport 3. Patience 4. Mission Focus 5. Team Building 6. Trust and Confidence 7. Knowledge of Partners
30
What is the Joint Warfighting Concept?
A concept for how the U.S. military fights as a joint force against peer competitors to create advantages across all domains (land, air, sea, space, cyber).
31
How do the Military Services nest with the JWC? (CDC)
Each service develops its own supporting concepts, doctrine, and capabilities that nest under the JWC, ensuring they can operate seamlessly together in joint operations.
32
What is the JWCs relation to Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO)?
JADO is the operational approach to executing the JWC. The JWC sets the vision; JADO is how the force carries it out—by integrating effects across domains faster than the enemy can respond.
33
What is a joint operation?
Military actions conducted by forces from two or more U.S. military services, coordinated under a single command.
34
What is a joint force?
A force composed of elements from two or more services, operating under a single Joint Force Commander.
35
What is unity of effort?
The focused coordination of activities toward a shared goal (can exist without Unity of Command).
36
Explain unity of command vs unity of effort.
Unity of Command: One commander has authority over all forces for a mission. Unity of Effort: Everyone works toward the same goal, but not necessarily under one commander.
37
What key changes came from the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986?
1. Strengthened role of Combatant Commanders (CCDRs) by streamlining the chain of command. 2. Made Chairman of the Joint Chiefs the principal military advisor. 3.

38
Explain a Campaign vs. Operation.
Campaign: A series of related military operations aimed at achieving strategic or operational objectives, often over a long time. Operation: A specific military action or set of actions with a defined objective, often part of a campaign.
39
