Transformations Raison DEtre

• At NATOs military strategic level, the ability
  to influence areas of strategic interest the
  ability to quickly recognize impending crises
  broadly share available information develop
  plans to execute a desired course of action
  rapidly generate and deploy appropriate military
  forces in conjunction with other means of power
  within the alliance and the ability to
  transition to and sustain multi-dimensional peace
  support operations as stability returns to the
  crisis area characterize transformed operations.

What is a Concept?

• A Concept is an Idea that, at some level,
  characterizes a solution to a problem sufficient
  to further develop the idea through some kind of
  discovery experimentation
• A Concept Explains What it Is.
• A Concept Explains Why it is Needed.
  (Environment- Strategic, Operational)
• A Concept Imagines How it Might be Done.
• A Concept Infers Some High Level Capabilities it
  Needs to Succeed.
• Concept Development will lead DOTMLPFI
  Capability Development and Fielding

What it is

• Grounded in the Strategic Vision, the Effective
  Engagement and Joint Maneuvre is an operations
  concept that leverages the capabilities and power
  implicit in other key operational concepts that
  constitute the family of concepts INSPIRED BY
  EBAO.
• Effective Engagement and Joint Maneuvre encompass
  the operationalisation of an EBAO where military
  actions are synchronized and harmonized with
  activities of available Alliance instruments in
  cooperation with other actors

Definition

• NATO Effective Engagement Joint Manoeuvre
  (EEJM) IS THE EXPEDITIONARY PROJECTION AND
  SUSTAINED application of coherent effects
  including military and non-military, lethal and
  non-lethal and humanitarian actions, before,
  during and after a crisis. Before a crisis, NATO
  is engaged to prevent it. During a crisis, NATO
  conducts combat, security, or humanitarian
  operations. As a crisis is brought under
  control, NATO conducts operations for post-crisis
  stability

EEJM PRINCIPLES AND OPERATIONAL CONSTRUCT

• Create the conditions to enable the joint force
  to isolate and enter the operational area .
• Build controlled momentum rapidly through
  effective flow of forces to set conditions for
  decisive operations.
• Achieve decision early through rapid and
  sustained operations.
• Possess and deploy campaigning qualities to
  reinforce the joint forces expeditionary
  character when early decision is not achievable.

10
EEJM SCOPE

• Shaping Operations
• Major Combat Operations/Major Mission
• Transition Operations/Stability Operations
• Global Response Operations
• Protecting Projection and Expeditionary Bases of
  Operations

11
EEJM SCOPE
Shaping Operations
Shaping operations reassure allies and friends,
countering coercion, and deterring aggression.
Shaping operations can be military, but they
include political, diplomatic, or economic
activities. These shaping operations cement
relationships and influence conduct before a
crisis occurs and militate against conflict
erupting within the crisis. They will gain
routine intelligence. Military operations
associated with shaping include

12
EEJM SCOPE
Major Combat Operations/Major Mission
At the direction of the North Atlantic Council
and the SACEUR, the NATO joint operational
command will conduct combat operations or conduct
a major stability mission in a theater. Combat
Operations achieve strategic objectives by
removing an adversarys ability to conduct
military operations and creating conditions for
the cessation of hostilities and the imposition
of Alliance ends.

Combat Operations are conducted in a campaign
that comprises serial, parallel, or simultaneous
actions distributed throughout the battlespace in
a single planconceptually, one map with air,
ground, and maritime planners at all echelons
looking at the same objectives and building the
plan together.
13
EEJM SCOPE
Transition Operations/Stability Operations
Transition Operations are post-crisis shaping
operations assuring coalition allies and friends,
countering future coercion, and deterring
further aggression. Military Operations include

Transition operations allow NATO to re-establish
order, stability, and local government as the
crisis is brought under control. A strategic
goal of Transition Operations is to set the
conditions for long-term regional security.
14
EEJM CHARACTERISTICS

• Shared Situational Understanding
• Net Work Enabled, Adaptive Command and Control
• Expeditionary Operations
• Simultaneity
• Self-Synchronization

15
Shared Situational Understanding
EEJM CHAR

• Commanders will know the adversary or the
  security or stability mission to be undertaken.
• Commanders will use a shared common operational
  picture, quickly and continuously available in
  compelling, easily assimilated, visualizations.
• Commanders will view concurrent operations at all
  levels of war tactical, operational, and
  strategic to more precisely apply military force
  to plan and generate specific, desired effects
  that will in turn contribute to the
  accomplishment of operational objectives and
  campaign end-state.

16
Network Enabled, Adaptive Command and Control
EEJM CHAR

• Adaptive command and control enables the joint
  force commander to maintain and exploit the
  initiative to achieve specific desired effects
  and to empower subordinate commanders with
  greater freedom of action. It permits commanders
  at all levels to do the right things at the right
  time in the right way.

17
Expeditionary Operations
EEJM CHAR

• Operational manoeuvre over strategic distance to
  operations of variable scale and uncertain
  duration into, potentially, undeveloped theaters
• Joint force composition critical and accomplished
  with best mix of capabilities and ready forces
• Forces self-sufficient, interoperable, and
  sustainable across service and national lines
• Forces converge on the operational area capable
  of generating the right effects at the right
  time, overwhelming an adversary or controlling a
  crisis
• The force mounts rapid, operational-level
  manoeuvre to create effects at discrete points in
  time and space
• Forces are mobile, dispersed elements that can be
  quickly directed at the adversary system or the
  security mission.

18
Coherence
EEJM CHAR

• Coherence characterizes both the onset of initial
  actions and subsequent operations throughout the
  theater.
• Coherence is enabled by understanding of a
  potential adversary system, improved C4ISR
  systems responsive to the commanders direction,
  and rapidly deployable, modular, joint mission
  forces
• Widely dispersed joint forces will manoeuvre
  throughout the operational area, generating
  desired effects at specific points in space and
  time
• These military effects will be integrated in
  concert with other available elements of NATO
  member national power economic, diplomatic and
  civil.

19
Self-Synchronization
EEJM CHAR

• Self-synchronization is the decentralized
  initiation and execution of actions and creation
  of effects at all echelons to reach the desired
  end state
• Self-synchronization enables the joint force to
  exploit fleeting opportunities through continuous
  feedback, operational assessment, and adaptation
• Self-synchronization describes a pattern of
  emergent behavior facilitated by networked forces
  and command elements
• Self synchronization is guided by commanders
  intent and subordinate commanders knowledge of
  their relationship to each other and other
  elements of the force
• Empowerment of subordinates freedom to act in
  concert with the commanders intent implies their
  knowledge of, and responsibility for, second and
  third order consequences of their actions.

Effective Engagement /Joint Maneuvre
An Operations Concept is conceptually how the
military will execute the Strategic vision
implicit in the Strategic Concepts
29
Protection Projection and Expeditionary Bases
Military Operations associated with Protecting
the Expeditionary Base include

A Joint Force Command Headquarters will plan,
execute, and sustain base protection operations.
This headquarters is responsible for active and
passive defense and C4ISR that support base
protection and sustainment. This Headquarters
may conduct operations outside NATO in support of
the protection mission.

There probably needs to be a separate functional
concept written on force protection that
addresses the protection of both the projection
and the expeditionary bases for a deployed force
in addition to protecting the force itself. This
concept would provide more detail on the
protection of LOCs as well.

31
EEJM SCOPE
Global Response Operations
NATO may wish to consider developing a new
capability for Rapid, Precise, Short-Term, Global
Response Operations. Global Response
Operations are limited duration military
operations conducted quickly at specific points
and times, in both permissive and non-permissive
environments, to achieve a strategic objective.
Global Response capability is a significant asset
for executing successful forward defense of
Alliance members in accordance with stated
Alliance goals. It usually does not require the
deployment of a JFC, but may utilize elements of
JFC reaction forces, the NRF, or other elements
of NATO force structure not currently detailed to
NATO use but deployed on behalf of NATO and under
NATO command for the limited operation.
Military Operations associated with Global
Response might include
