Joint Force Quarterly
Abstract
Joint Force Quarterly 116 explores key challenges and innovations in military strategy, operations, and global security. The Forum section examines how the U.S. approaches risk in its strategy, the impact of nonstrategic nuclear weapons, and the importance of using data-driven methods in planning military operations.
In JPME Today, articles focus on how joint military campaigns succeed, the role of storytelling and persuasion in operations, and the urgent need to modernize professional military education.
The Commentary section highlights Ireland's strategic role in securing Europe’s western flank and evaluates whether China’s military overestimates the potential of artificial intelligence.
The Features section dives into practical challenges, including setting clear political goals, updating air-ground coordination for large-scale combat, improving military healthcare support with wargaming, and strengthening supply chains critical to national security.
The Recall section reflects on lessons from the First Punic War and how they apply to modern joint operations. Meanwhile, Book Reviews cover topics such as China’s strategies for armed coercion, the impact of emerging technologies, and the history of space-based military programs. Finally, the Joint Doctrine section explores the future of stealth technology in military operations.
