INTRODUCTION Every student enrolled at the Naval War College is presumed to have a solid understanding and appreciation of their service's capabilities and limitations, particularly within their occupational specialty. However, knowledge of the other services' combat organizations, doctrine, concept of operations, or general information (and perhaps that of other occupational specialties within your own service) is likely to be less comprehensive. This document provides basic information about each of the services, SOF, strategic lift, and operational command and control. Each of these topics will be discussed in greater detail in future sessions. The format of this document is designed to be succinct yet also present a complete and accurate description of the subject. Short paragraphs, bullet format, diagrams and appendices are used to convey general or generic, vice specific, information. Numbers, ranges, sizes and speeds are either rounded off, cover a broad range of options, or are not discussed at all. The goal is for you to become familiar with the capabilities that the joint force can provide so that you, the operational planner, can accomplish your mission objectives. This document can also serve as a quick reference in your future endeavors. Finally, in this ever-changing defense environment of budget restraints, base closures, and force reductions, some of the information contained within may be or become outdated. Seminar discussions will address the most current information.
