JV2020 explains how the military will complete their assigned objectives in the future. The key objective is full-spectrum dominance or the ability of United States forces to operate individually or with allies to defeat or contain any foe in any number of situations. These efforts will require close cooperation between unique combinations of forces to accomplish specific tasks. The document states that the effectiveness of full-spectrum dominance is dependent on different variables. Information and innovation are key.
Innovation is also paramount.

Only with trial and error will new and better ideas come to light. New innovations will make the fighting force better. JV2020 also deals with the importance of the conduct of joint operations to future conflict.
