Joint experimentation shows how well it all works together. There is good evidence that we have moved beyond the point where applying new technology to old organizations and processes is going to have anything but marginal transformational effects. UV 01 is attempting to look at how a joint war-fighting staff might be organized if emerging technologies and improved battlespace understanding enable them. Also, the current joint task force is an ad hoc organization. It is widely acknowledged that a standing Joint Force Headquarters will greatly improve our response to world situations.
Processes usually drive organizations.
Currently, the Services, their battle labs, and other Department of Defense components are working to understand effects-based operations and the implications for future joint forces. The choices and combinations of automated decision aids, presentation methods and database research tools are extensive. During UV 01, a representative sample of the situational awareness and collaborative tools that generally represent the current and emerging hardware available will be examined in a laboratory setting. This acronym stands for Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel and Facilities. Transformational changes are achievable in this decade.
