Joint Force Quarterly
Abstract
This executive summary introduces Joint Force Quarterly 115 against a backdrop of ongoing global conflict, strategic competition, and an approaching U.S. presidential election. William T. Eliason emphasizes the importance of aligning national interests, strategy, policy, and the instruments of national power while recognizing the difficulty of deterring war, ending conflict, and adapting to changing security conditions. The issue features articles on Arctic security, military health systems, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear readiness, contested logistics in the Pacific, blockade strategy in a potential conflict with China, and military recruiting. It also highlights joint professional military education, including the annual Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff essay competitions, and commemorates major anniversaries in the professional military education community. Additional commentary and feature articles address stability operations, geographic combatant command boundaries, joint power projection, and the joint functions.
