The completed JFOS products have been used as the basis for analysis across the DoD including: the Chairman’s Global Integrated Wargame 21, inter-Service collaborative simulation databases, Service specific wargames and analysis, mission level modelling, and campaign modeling excursions.Ĭombat Forces Assessment Model (CFAM) is a mixed-integer linear program that pits a set of aircraft and weapon loads against “enemy” targets at the campaign level. It has continued to gain support among the various Service analytical organizations and myriad other stakeholders.

The JFOS process is now in its third iteration. The scenario and CONOPS are approved at the various stages of development by a separate three-star level committee with a voting member representing each Service. The JFOS development process is guided along the way by a panel of two-star Flag and General Officers and SES equivalents representing all Services and supporting organizations. To create a JFOS, the Joint Working Group (JWG), consisting of planners and analysts from the six Services, intelligence community, and several supporting commands and organizations, takes existing scenarios and CONOPS, updated threat information, and future capabilities and capacities and leverages them to develop a robust scenario and associated CONOPS set in a future time frame. These provide the level of detail and context needed to conduct wargaming, modeling and simulation, and other analysis to inform senior military leaders, Program Objective Memorandums (POMs), force structure decisions, concept development, and follow-on studies. What began in 2019 as the 2030 Joint Force Operating Scenario (JFOS) has since become a recurring process run by the Services to develop a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) paired with a given scenario influenced by Defense Planning Scenarios (DPS). At the end of the workshop, each working group will provide a summary of what was learned, identified challenges, and identified solutions.Īs circumstances change and new threats emerge, the Department of Defense is required to evaluate and refine capability development, force sizing, emerging warfighting concepts, and innovative approaches to these new environments. These working groups are designed to be a balance between presentations and discussion to enable its participants to make progress towards the problems that face our community.

As a result, new and old issues have surfaced that has necessitated a community-wide review of the purpose, processes, and tools required to conduct campaign analyses. The community is entering into a new era of campaign analyses that leverage federated simulation environments, volumes of data, and increased operational complexities.


The defense community is increasingly using campaign analyses to examine force structure, concepts / doctrine, and operational planning questions. Motivation: With the rise of peer competition, campaign analysis has taken a central focus in analyses across the government, industry, and research laboratories. The dress for the campaign workshop is UOD or business casual. Overview This Workshop will be held at the SECRET/NOFORN level.
