except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptionalcircumstances dictate otherwise.

This publication sets forth the policy and provides the detailedguidance for the four major stages involved in the joint doctrinedevelopment process: initiation, development, approval, andmaintenance. It also establishes the specific guidance forpreparing, formatting, printing, and distributing all jointpublications.

Terms and definitions used in the development of joint doctrinewill be in accordance with JP 1-02, Department of DefenseDictionary of Military and Associated Terms, unless thepublication under development proposes modifications tocurrent terms or definitions or is proposing new terminologyfor entry in JP 1-02.

Joint doctrine and JTTP are organized in a hierarchicalframework of joint publications, as depicted on the inside backcover of each publication. These publications are maintainedthrough assessment and periodic revision.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has developed specificprocedures for the initiation, development, approval, andmaintenance of joint doctrine projects. The process requiresactive involvement by all principal users of joint doctrine. Theprocess also includes a means to work towards consensusamong doctrine developers as well as a method for resolvingkey issues or divergent views.

Normally, joint doctrine and JTTP publications are assessedafter promulgation to ensure that they have the utility andquality required by the joint community. The USJFCOM JWFCnormally will function as the assessment agent for the Chairmanof the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Assessments usually will beaccomplished by observing doctrine usage during operationsand exercises, and by interviewing and surveying users.

CHAPTER IGENERAL

I-1

1. Joint Doctrine DevelopmentSystem Overview

a. Joint Publications. Only joint doctrineand joint tactics, techniques, and procedures(JTTP) approved by, or for, the Chairman ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) that involvethe employment of forces will be referred toas joint publications (JPs). They aredeveloped in coordination with the Services,combatant commands, and the Joint Staff.Publications involving two or more Servicesthat have not been reviewed and approvedby, or for, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefsof Staff will be referred to as “multi-Service”and will identify the participating Services(e.g., Army and Air Force doctrine; or Army,Navy, and Air Force procedures).

b. Purpose of Joint Publications. Thepurpose of joint doctrine and JTTP is toenhance the operational effectiveness of USforces. With the exception of JP 1, JointWarfare of the Armed Forces of the UnitedStates, JP 0-2, Unified Action Armed Forces(UNAAF), JP 1-01.1, Compendium of JointPublications, and this publication, jointdoctrine and JTTP will not establish policy.Joint policy will be reflected in CJCSInstructions (CJCSIs) or CJCS Manuals(CJCSMs). These instructions and manualsare not joint publications, but contain CJCSpolicy and guidance that does not involve theemployment of forces.

c. Definitions

“Joint doctrine offers a common perspective from which to plan and operate,and fundamentally shapes the way we think about and train for war.”

JP 1, Joint Warfare of the Armed Forces of the United States

• Joint Doctrine. Fundamentalprinciples that guide the employmentof forces of two or more MilitaryDepartments in coordinated actiontoward a common objective. Jointdoctrine is authoritative; as such, it willbe followed except when, in thejudgment of the commander, exceptionalcircumstances dictate otherwise. It willbe promulgated by, or for, the Chairmanof the Joint Chiefs of Staff, incoordination with the combatantcommands and Services.

• JTTP. The actions and methods thatimplement joint doctrine and describehow forces will be employed in jointoperations. JTTP are authoritative andwill be followed except when, in thejudgment of the commander, exceptionalcircumstances dictate otherwise. Theywill be promulgated by the Chairman ofthe Joint Chiefs of Staff, in coordinationwith the combatant commands andServices.

d. Use of Joint Doctrine and JTTP

• Guide the employment of joint forces orguide employment when significantforces of one Service are attached toforces of another Service, or whensignificant forces of one Service supportforces of another Service.

I-2

Chapter I

JP 1-01

• Provide the national position formultinational doctrine consistent withexisting security procedures.

• Provide for multinational or interagencycoordination during joint operations.

• Provide the foundation for building ajoint culture and a basis for joint training.

• Provide instructional material for theprofessional military education system.

• Inform US Government agenciesconcerning the employment of US jointforces.

e. Joint doctrine can be developed by:

• Chiefs of the Services (for the purposesof this publication, this includes the USCoast Guard);

• Combatant commanders; and

• Directors, Joint Staff directorates.

f. Joint doctrine will be written to reflectexisting capabilities.

g. In developing joint doctrine and JTTP,existing Service and multinational doctrineand tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP)will be considered. Service doctrine mustbe consistent with approved joint doctrineand JTTP. Conversely, joint doctrine andJTTP should not include detail that is moreappropriate in Service doctrine, standingoperating procedures, plans, and otherpublications.

h. Joint doctrine is written for thosewho:

• Provide strategic direction to joint forces(the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

and commanders of combatantcommands);

• Employ joint forces (combatantcommanders, commanders of subunifiedcommands, or commanders of joint taskforces (JTFs)); and

• Support or are supported by joint forces(combatant commands, subunifiedcommands, JTFs, componentcommands, the Services, and supportingagencies).

i. JTTP is written for those whoimplement joint doctrine, such as:

• Joint forces;

• Subordinate commands of joint forces;and

• Commands at echelons where jointforces interact.

j. Application

• In applying joint doctrine, care must betaken to distinguish between distinct butrelated responsibilities in the twobranches of authority to forces assignedto combatant commands. The firstbranch runs from the President, throughthe Secretary of Defense, directly to thecombatant commanders for missions andforces assigned to their commands. Thesecond branch runs from the President,through the Secretary of Defense, to theSecretaries of the Military Departments,to the Chiefs of the Services in their roleto organize, train, equip, and provideService forces to the combatantcommands. The Secretaries of theMilitary Departments are furtherresponsible for the administration andsupport of their forces assigned or

I-3

General

attached to the combatant commands.They fulfill their responsibilities byexercising administrative controlthrough the Service componentcommanders of the combatantcommands. This authority is subject tothe provisions of Title 10, United StatesCode (USC), chapter 6, section 164(c),which is the section that details theauthority of combatant commanders.Commanders of combatant commandsexercise combatant command(command authority) (COCOM) overtheir assigned forces and trainingreadiness oversight over ReserveComponent forces on active duty fortraining. However, a combatantcommander exercises COCOM overassigned Reservists on active duty otherthan for training, including those onactive duty as a result of a PresidentialReserve Callup Authority or partialmobilization. Assigned Servicecomponent commanders are subject tothe combatant commander’s orders anddirection, and are responsible to theMilitary Departments and Services inthe exercise of their administrative Title10, USC responsibilities.

• If conflicts arise between the contents ofjoint doctrine and the contents of Servicepublications, the joint publication willtake precedence for the activities of jointforces unless the Chairman of the JointChiefs of Staff, normally in coordinationwith the other members of the JointChiefs of Staff, has provided morecurrent and specific guidance.Commanders of forces operating as partof a multinational (alliance or coalition)military command should followmultinational doctrine and proceduresratified by the United States. Fordoctrine and procedures not ratified bythe United States, commanders shouldevaluate and follow the multinational

command’s doctrine and procedures(where applicable) to the extentconsistent with US law and policy. If acommander determines that a joint doctrineand JTTP deficiency or inconsistencyexists, the commander will advise theDirector, Operational Plans and Joint ForceDevelopment Directorate, Joint Staff (J-7)of the deficiency or inconsistency.

2. Joint Doctrine DevelopmentProcess Overview

This publication sets forth policy and providesdetailed guidance for joint doctrine and JTTPdevelopment through four major stages:initiation, development, approval, andmaintenance. It provides the policy andprocedures to allow the Chairman of the JointChiefs of Staff to discharge the responsibilitiesfor joint doctrine mandated by law and inDepartment of Defense (DOD) Directives. Italso establishes the specific guidance on thepreparing, formatting, printing, and distributingof all joint publications.

Chapter III, “Joint Doctrine DevelopmentProcess,” contains detailed procedures forjoint doctrine development.

a. Initiation Stage

• Proposal Phase. Joint doctrinepublication projects can be proposed byanyone; however, the project must beformally sponsored for developmentconsideration through one of thefollowing:

•• Chiefs of the Services;

•• Combatant commanders; or

•• Directors, Joint Staff directorates.

New proposals for joint publications willbe accompanied by a concept paper. The

I-4

Chapter I

JP 1-01

scope of the concept paper will be subjectdependent, but it must adequately justify whythe new publication is needed.

• Front-End Analysis Phase. The USJoint Forces Command (USJFCOM)Joint Warfighting Center (JWFC)reviews project proposals and providesfindings and recommendations to theJoint Doctrine DevelopmentCommunity, normally at a semiannualJoint Doctrine Working Party (JDWP).

• Validation Phase. The voting membersof the JDWP cast votes for their Service,combatant command, and the Joint Staff(J-7 representative) for or against projectproposals at the semiannual meetings.This vote is the JDWP’srecommendation to the J-7, Joint Staff.

b. Development Stage. This is dividedinto two phases.

• Write, review, staff, and approve theprogram directive (PD).

• Write, review, staff, and coordinate thefirst and second drafts of thepublications being developed.

• Unresolved critical issues will be notedin the transmittal letter that provides thedraft publication to the Joint Staffdoctrine sponsor (JSDS).

c. Approval Stage. This includes staffingthe project during the final coordination (FC)phase of publication development.Procedures in these phases are additionallygoverned by CJCSI 5711.01A, Policy onAction Processing. Critical issues will beelevated to decision making authorities asquickly as possible to ensure expeditiousresolution of differences. If applicable, theoptional test publication and evaluation stagemay be inserted between the second draft andFC phases. After staffing is complete, the

publication is signed by the Chairman forall capstone, keystone, and selected other jointdoctrinal publications, as defined in ChapterV, “Joint Publication OrganizationFramework.” The Director, Joint Staff, signsthe remainder of the joint publications.

d. Maintenance Stage. This stage isreached after the publication has beenapproved and includes the following actions.

• Assessment. All publications arecontinuously assessed in preparation for thenormal 5-year revision of the publication.Assessment methods may include, but arenot limited to, such areas as conductingcommand and/or organization visits,observing joint exercises, receiving writtencomments from warfighters, andconducting web-based surveys. A formalmid-period assessment is normallyconducted by the USJFCOM JWFC witha report of the findings being compiled andforwarded to the J-7. The J-7, Joint Staffwill make the assessment reports availableto the members of the Joint Doctrinecommunity.

See Chapter III, “Joint DoctrineDevelopment Process,” for a detaileddiscussion of the joint publicationmaintenance stage.

• Follow-on. During this stage, allpublications are revised, changed,consolidated, or canceled based onassessment results.

3. Specific Guidance forDevelopment of JointDoctrine

a. Preparing. These are the mechanicsof developing a joint publication.

• Terms and definitions used in thedevelopment of joint doctrine and JTTPwill be in accordance with JP 1-02,

I-5

General

Department of Defense Dictionary ofMilitary and Associated Terms, to thegreatest extent possible. Terms that aredeveloped in the course of a project thatare not listed already in JP 1-02 will beincorporated in accordance with theprovisions of Chapter III, “Joint DoctrineDevelopment Process,” and CJCSI5705.01, Standardization of Militaryand Associated Terminology.

• New terminology may be introducedduring the drafting or staffing of a jointpublication as described above and inChapter III, “Joint DoctrineDevelopment Process.” Additionally, atthe outset of a project, the lead agent(LA) may receive a list of terms fromthe J-7 terminology office forconsideration for possible incorporationinto the draft joint publication. Theserepresent new terms (or revisions toapproved JP 1-02 terms) that have beenproposed outside the staffing of a jointpublication that were submitted to theJ-7 terminology office in accordancewith CJCSI 5705.01, Standardization ofMilitary and Associated Terminology.When JP 1-02 itself is revised, a similarprocess occurs. New or modified termsand definitions that are associated witha particular joint doctrine publicationwill be removed from the JP 1-02revision process and forwarded to theUSJFCOM JFWC for inclusion in theassessment report for that particularpublication. Terms agreed in the NorthAtlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)will be considered for inclusion in JP 1-02 only when they have clearapplicability to US doctrine and areagreed for incorporation by allcombatant command, Joint Staff, andService respondents to the staffing andcoordination actions. The Joint Staffterminologist will ensure that all jointpublication glossaries are in correctformat prior to the final coordination

staffing. The Joint Staff terminologistwill be responsible for ensuring thesubsequent validity of recommendedglossary changes and their incorporationinto the joint publication prior to finalapproval by the Chairman of the JointChiefs of Staff or a designatedrepresentative. Joint Staff promulgationof new and modified terminology fromjoint publications will immediatelyfollow approval of the publications.

• Editorial guidance germane to thedevelopment of all joint doctrinalpublications is contained in Joint StaffManual (JSM) 5711.01A, Joint StaffCorrespondence Preparation. JP 1-01takes precedence for formatting andeditorial guidance if differences exist.

• Formatting

Chapter IV, “Formatting, Printing, andDistributing Joint Publications,”provides detailed procedures for draftpublications as they are prepared forreview and comment, and for approvedjoint publications converting to the 6-by 9- inch format.

b. Printing. In coordination with the J-7,Joint Staff, the USJFCOM JWFC hasresponsibility for printing all unclassifiedjoint publications for the Joint Staff, jointagencies, and other DOD agencies. Fundingis provided by USJFCOM, the Joint Staff, andthe Services. Additional copies for theServices should be obtained from theirrespective publication distribution center. Forcombatant commands, additional copies(normally up to 50 in a 5-year period) maybe obtained from the USJFCOM JWFC.Additional copies should be obtained fromthe military Service assigned administrativesupport responsibility by DOD Directive5100.3, Support of the Headquarters ofUnified, Specified, and Subordinate JointCommands. Local reproduction is authorized

I-6

Chapter I

JP 1-01

for all unclassified joint publications. Forlarger required quantities (over 1,000), reprintspaid for by the requestor may be requested bycontacting the USJFCOM JWFC.

See Chapter IV, “Formatting, Printing, andDistributing Joint Publications,” foradditional details.

c. Distributing. The Director, J-7, JointStaff, is responsible for the initial distributionof each unclassified and classified jointpublication. The J-7 has assigned theUSJFCOM JWFC to coordinate the actualprinting of all unclassified joint publications.The J-7 prints classified joint publicationswith the Director of Management, Joint Staff,and Joint Staff printing assets. TheCommander, JWFC is responsible for thecreation and maintenance of eachpublication’s distribution list. Thedistribution system has both push and pullprocesses designed to distribute new andrevised publications from the printer directlyto the user. Distribution is continuous andrequires the participation of the Services,doctrine centers and/or commands, andcombatant commands in a unified effort with

the J-7 and Joint Doctrine, Education andTraining Division (JDETD), Joint Staff, andthe USJFCOM JWFC.

See Chapter IV, “Formatting, Printing, andDistributing Joint Publications,” for adetailed discussion.

4. Future Concepts and JointDoctrine

a. Future concepts are developed inconsonance with the emergence of newtechnology and the attainment of new orenhanced military capabilities. Theseconcepts are reviewed and refined as the newor enhanced capabilities approach fulloperational capability and subsequentfielding by US military forces.

b. Prior to fielding of new or enhancedmilitary capabilities, the validated principlesand fundamentals for employing suchcapabilities should be reviewed and preparedfor potential incorporation in emerging orapproved joint doctrine and JTTPconcurrent with the actual fielding of thesecapabilities.

THE JOINT DOCTRINE STORY

The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986brought about several important changes in joint doctrine development. Keyamong these changes was the vestment of overall responsibility for thedevelopment of joint doctrine with a single individual — the Chairman of theJoint Chiefs of Staff.

In order to carry out these new responsibilities and to improve efficiency, theChairman reorganized the Joint Staff in 1987. Responsibilities for plans,training, exercises, evaluation, doctrine, education, and interoperability werebrought together by establishing the Operational Plans and InteroperabilityDirectorate, Joint Staff (J-7). To specifically focus on joint doctrinedevelopment, a separate Joint Doctrine Division (JDD) was formed withinthe J-7. Because of the importance of terminology in the development ofjoint doctrine, the responsibility for maintaining the Department of Defense

I-7

General

Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms (JP 1-02) also was transferred tothe JDD.

During this same time frame, the Joint Doctrine Center (JDC) was formedunder the control of the Director, J-7, as a joint field agency. The primarymission of JDC was to evaluate test publications of evolving doctrinalpublications. In October 1994, JDC became the Doctrine Division of the JointWarfighting Center (JWFC). JWFC’s expanded mission included jointsimulations and training as well as joint doctrine. JWFC’s expanded functionsand responsibilities regarding joint doctrine included overseeing draftdoctrine during the initial stages of the development process, identifyingand resolving key doctrinal issues, and assessing approved doctrine once itis developed to ensure its validity.

Further reorganization occurred in October 1998 when JWFC became USAtlantic Command (USACOM) JWFC. A year later, as part of the UnifiedCommand Plan change, US Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) JWFC wasestablished. Doctrine Division became JW100 in the new USJFCOM JWFCorganization.

The current Joint Doctrine Development System evolved from a J-7 initiativeknown as the Joint Doctrine Master Plan. The Joint Doctrine Master Planwas the most comprehensive assessment of joint doctrine ever undertakenand was the result of a series of meetings and worldwide conferencesinvolving representatives from the Services, the combatant commands, andthe Joint Staff. The Joint Doctrine Master Plan addressed the joint doctrine[publication] development process, to include the following.

• Identifying critical warfighting doctrine voids and initiating projects tofill those voids.

• Revising the joint publication system to separate doctrine fromadministrative publications and to organize a hierarchy of publicationsclearly linking related doctrine and supporting joint tactics, techniques,and procedures.

• Establishing a new joint doctrine [publication] development processdirectly involving the combatant commanders.

By approving the Joint Doctrine Master Plan and developing JP 1-01, JointPublication System, Joint Doctrine and Joint Tactics, Techniques, andProcedures Development Program, in February 1988, the Joint Chiefs of Staffapproved the initiation of all recommended projects, an entirely new jointpublication hierarchy, a joint doctrine terms of reference, and a new jointdoctrine [publication] development process.

CHAPTER IIIJOINT DOCTRINE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

III-1

1. General

a. This chapter describes the four stages— initiation, development, approval, andmaintenance — of the joint doctrinedevelopment process. The steps andtimelines for the development of a new jointpublication are illustrated in Figure III-1.Changes in procedures or time periods maybe granted by the Director, J-7, Joint Staff, toallow for adequate staffing.

b. Providing the warfighters with effectiveand accurate doctrine is essential to thesuccessful employment of US joint forces.Doctrine must also be timely — when jointdoctrine development milestones are not met,leadership action will be taken to resolve theissues causing the delays. If a publicationhas missed one of its developmentalmilestones as prescribed in the programdirective, then various measures will be takenat the 30-, 60-, 90-, and 120-day points.Paragraph 7 of this chapter, “Milestones,”further explains these measures.

2. Development Philosophy

“Joint doctrine deals with the fundamentalissue of how best to employ the nationalmilitary power to achieve strategic ends” (JP1, Joint Warfare of the Armed Forces of theUnited States). This is important toremember throughout the joint doctrinedevelopment process in order to maintainfocus. Joint doctrine continues to evolve asthe Armed Forces of the United States striveto meet the varying world challenges. As

these challenges arise, voids may be identifiedthat will initiate the development process. Asthe joint publication is developed, LAs andJSDSs must keep in mind that all jointpublications directly support the premise of“joint force employment” and must maintainconsistency with each other.

3. Initiation Stage

The initiation stage consists of threephases: proposal, front-end analysis, andvalidation.

a. Proposal Phase. Joint doctrine projectscan be proposed by anyone; however, theymust be formally sponsored for considerationfor development through one of the following:

• A Service Chief;

• A combatant commander; or

• A Director, Joint Staff directorate.

Proposals may be submitted at any time tothe Director, J-7, Joint Staff, by message orletter using the format shown in AppendixA, “Sample Project Proposal Format.” Fourmonths prior to each semiannual JDWP,Director, J-7 will submit a message to theServices, the combatant commands, and JointStaff directorates soliciting project proposalsfor consideration at the JDWP. Writing andpresenting an understandable and detailedproposal is essential to the initiation stage aswell as successful and expedient projectdevelopment. A sound justification and an

“Doctrine provides a military organization with a common philosophy, acommon language, a common purpose, and a unity of effort.”

explicit scope are the key proposal elements.Proposals should include a draft of the PD inthe format presented in Appendix C, “SampleProgram Directive Format.” Earlycoordination with USJFCOM JWFC andadherence to the Appendix A, “SampleProject Proposal Format,” will facilitate theproposal. A detailed concept paper shouldbe provided to USJFCOM JWFC. Theconcept paper will be used to complete thefront-end analysis.

b. Front-End Analysis Phase. For eachproject proposal, the USJFCOM JWFC willconduct a front-end analysis and make arecommendation to determine if the proposalis appropriate for inclusion as joint doctrineor JTTP and how best to implement theproposal. The USJFCOM JWFC will ensurethat all relevant sources have been explored,including international agreements; lessonslearned files; extant and emerging joint,multinational, and Service doctrine andprocedures; exercise joint doctrinal issues andobservations; interviews, meetings, andworking groups; and other sources asappropriate. The USJFCOM JWFC shouldrecommend one of the following options tothe doctrine community at the validationphase:

• There is no need for the publication;

• There is a need to change or revise (an)existing or evolving publication(s); or

• There is a need for a new publication.

If the USJFCOM JWFC recommends anew publication or revision to an existing one,it will also recommend whether that jointpublication should be doctrine-only, JTTP, orboth.

c. Validation Phase

• JDWP. The semiannual JDWP is thepreferred method for introducing project

proposals. The proposal and USJFCOMJWFC’s front-end analysisrecommendation will be included in theJDWP read-ahead package, which isnormally issued to all voting members6 weeks before the working party meets.All project proposals and correspondingfront-end analysis recommendations arediscussed at the JDWP. JDWP votingmembers make a final recommendationto the Director, J-7, Joint Staff fordecision. This recommendation isincluded in the minutes of the JDWP andcoordinated with all voting members ofthe JDWP. J-7, Joint Staff will notifythe submitting command of thedisposition of the project proposal andassignment of the LA if the projectproposal is approved.

• Message. There may be an urgentrequirement to validate a projectproposal prior to the next semiannualJDWP. In this case, the Director, J-7will distribute the original proposal andUSJFCOM JWFC’s front-end analysisrecommendations for review and votewith Service headquarters and thecombatant commands. Responses willbe provided to the J-7, Joint Staff, in theformat shown in Appendix B, “SampleValidation Checklist.” Based on therecommendation of the voting membersinput, the Director, J-7, Joint Staff willapprove or disapprove the new proposal.The J-7, Joint Staff will send a messagenotifying all concerned of the dispositionof the project proposal.

• The J-7 decision will result in one of thefollowing:

•• No need for the publication;

•• Change or revise an existing orevolving publication; or

•• Develop a new publication.

III-4

Chapter III

JP 1-01

• JDWP voting members also recommendwho should be the LA.

4. Development Stage

The development stage consists of twophases: program directive development anddraft development. The steps and timelinesfor the development of joint publications areillustrated in Figure III-1.

a. Program Directive DevelopmentPhase

• After the proposal is approved as eithera new publication project or as a changeor revision to the scope of an existingpublication, USJFCOM JWFC will co-host, with the LA, a PDDG. Theattendees will be the USJFCOM JWFC,the four Service doctrine organizations,the JSDS, the LA, and the PRA (ifknown). All Service headquarters,combatant commands, Joint Staffdirectorates, and other interested partiesmay attend if desired. (NOTE:Although a PDDG is preferred, the LAmay develop a PD without convening aworking group.)

• The PDDG will refine the project scope,develop a detailed chapter outline, refinethe audience, and establish milestonesfor the project to be included in a draftPD (see Appendix C, “Sample ProgramDirective Format”).

• The draft PD then will be staffed throughpreliminary and final coordination withthe appropriate commands and agenciesby the Director, J-7, Joint Staff, inaccordance with CJCSI 5711.01A,Policy on Action Processing. Aminimum of 30 days from messagetransmission will be provided for reviewof draft PDs.

• The approved PD will be distributed bythe J-7, Joint Staff to the LA for actionand to the rest of the Joint DoctrineDevelopment Community forinformation. The approved PD will beposted under “Joint Electronic Library”on the CJCS Joint Doctrine website.

• If the need for additions or modificationsto the project scope is discovered duringpublication development, these changeswill first be coordinated with J-7, JointStaff.

•• Under the provisions of CJCSI5711.01A, Policy on Action Processing,significant modifications of the programdirective will be coordinated by J-7 withthe Services, the combatant commands,and Joint Staff directorates, and thenissued in correspondence or messageformat modifying the basic PD prior tothe next review of the publication. Themodified PD will be posted under “JointElectronic Library” on the CJCS JointDoctrine website.

•• Minor changes will be stated, withJ-7, Joint Staff approval, in thetransmittal memorandum of the nextdraft.

b. Draft Development Phase

• Under the cognizance of the LA and withthe assistance of the USJFCOM JWFC,the PRA will develop a first draft of thepublication based on guidance providedin the PD and in accordance with theprocedures contained herein. It is duringthis phase that the majority of time isspent developing the publication.

•• Early in the development of the firstdraft of new doctrine or existing doctrineundergoing major revision, a useful in-

III-5


progress review or project managementtool for the LA and PRA is to have itswriting team produce an expandedoutline. This tool can be as simple asproviding detailed paragraphs for eachof the chapters outlined in the approvedPD, to a more extensive treatmentproviding drafts of essential subjectmatter or potentially contentiousportions of the publication for review andconcurrence by the LA and PRA and, asappropriate, the TRA and selectedagencies. This tool helps confirm thatthe direction of the publication’sdevelopment complies with the PD scopeand target audience. It reduces time lostdue to misunderstanding between LAand PRA and its writing team; easesresolution of complex and contentiousissues; and enhances the quality of thefirst draft.

•• The PRA will consider existing joint,multinational, and Service doctrinewhen developing the draft. The PRAalso will review future concepts andresults of joint experiments conductedby combatant commands, Services, andother designated agencies.

•• All draft editions of publications(including test publications, ifapplicable, revisions, and changes) willadhere to the formatting rules in ChapterIV, “Formatting, Printing, andDistributing Joint Publications.” Linenumbers will be included in all draftpublications for accurate reference tochange recommendations.

•• The PRA will ensure that sentences,paragraphs, and passages taken directlyfrom previously approved publicationsare quoted verbatim and the referencenoted. Necessary changes to previouslyapproved language resulting from thedevelopment of new joint doctrine will

be highlighted for addressal duringstaffing.

•• The PRA will use, to the greatestextent possible, the previously approvedterminology contained in orpromulgated for JP 1-02, Department ofDefense Dictionary of Military andAssociated Terms. Stand-alone or singlepublication terms will be used only whenabsolutely necessary. When existingdoctrine dictates using terms anddefinitions that are not included in ordepart from JP 1-02, all such terms willbe included in the publication’s glossary.They will be clearly identified as suchin the glossary with the appropriatenotations from Figure IV-1, “GlossaryNotations for Terms and Definitions.”Upon approval of the publication (orupon approval of a change or revision),these new or modified terms also willbe approved, promulgated by theDirector, J-7, Joint Staff, and includedin the routine update of the JELterminology data base and in the nextedition of JP 1-02. Proposedmodifications to terms and definitionspreviously approved in a joint doctrinepublication will be provided throughuser feedback or formal assessment andprocessed as part of the appropriate jointdoctrine publication. Other new ormodified terms and definitions notproposed or approved in joint doctrinepublications may be forwarded throughthe chain of command to Service or JointStaff terminology offices for processingin accordance with CJCSI 5705.01,Standardization of Military andAssociated Terminology. Whenproposed terms and definitions aresubmitted in this manner, the Joint Staffterminology office will assess whetherthe term is relevant to a doctrinalpublication. If the term is associatedwith a specific doctrinal publication, it

III-6

Chapter III

JP 1-01

will be forwarded to the LA forconsideration in the emergingpublication or revision, as applicable.

•• Editorial guidance relevant to thedevelopment of all joint publications iscontained in JSM 5711.01A, Joint StaffCorrespondence Preparation.

•• The PRA is required to identify ordevelop photographs, figures, quotes,and vignettes relevant to the subjectmatter for inclusion in the publication.The actual photographs are not requiredto be included in the draft, but are to besubmitted through the LA to theDirector, J-7, Joint Staff for inclusion inthe final publication.

•• The PRA is also required to reviewthe references to ensure currency.

See Chapter IV, “Formatting, Printing,and Distributing Joint Publications,”for details.

•• All publications will contain a briefoverview of the joint doctrinedevelopment process and hierarchy (seesample page J-16) indicating the positionof the publication in the hierarchy. Thisoverview will be located inside the backcover.

•• Appropriate measures for foreignrelease and sanitation of classifiedpublications will be taken. Classifiedparagraphs must be properly marked andany classified information contained inthe joint publication will be reviewed andconsidered for release on a case-by-casebasis. Assistance in this determinationcan be obtained from the Joint Staff. Forintelligence information, contact theDefense Intelligence Agency (DIA)DPF-2, at Defense Switched Network(DSN) 225-2455, and for all otherclassified areas, contact Security

Assistance and Technology TransferDivision, J-5, Joint Staff, at DSN 224-5787. If all the information in apublication is approved for release, thosecountries should be listed on the insidelower left-hand corner of the front cover.Otherwise those separate paragraphsthat have been approved for releaseshould be appropriately marked.

•• The PRA is encouraged to conductcoordination meetings and workinggroups co-facilitated by USJFCOMJWFC. These joint doctrine workinggroups help to establish early dialog withcombatant commands and Service CRAsin order to develop any or all drafts forwhich the LA is responsible. Workinggroups are particularly encouraged whiledeveloping the first draft. (1) Theworking groups will be coordinatedthrough the CRAs (TRAs if applicable)and/or joint doctrine points of contact.Working groups normally includerepresentation from the Services (eitherheadquarters or doctrine organization),combatant commands, the JSDS,USJFCOM JWFC, and other subjectmatter experts as necessary. (2) Toenhance participation by the Services,combatant commands, doctrine pointsof contact, and subject matter experts,the PRA will (a) coordinate, schedule,and provide at least a 30-day notificationof coordination meetings and workinggroup conferences; (b) use messages ande-mail to announce the time, place, andproposed agenda of the meetings andconferences; (c) request addresseesconfirm receipt of announcementcommunication and identify theorganizational representative scheduledto attend; and (d) provide the J-7, JointStaff with the time and place of themeeting or conference and appropriateinformation to be added to the Joint StaffDoctrine Calendar on the CJCS JointDoctrine website. (3) The PRA will

III-7


manage the working group toaccomplish the following: (a) developthe draft in compliance with the PD; (b)ensure that the draft has a jointperspective; (c) identify and resolvecontentious issues or elevate as specifiedin paragraph 4c, below; (d) ensure thatthe draft is horizontally and verticallyconsistent with existing and emergingjoint doctrine and JTTP; and (e) avoidredundancy.

•• After consolidating the inputs fromthe working group, the PRA will do thefollowing: (1) A minimum of one papercopy, with a transmittal message (seeexample in Appendix D, “SampleTransmittal Message for Drafts”) ortransmittal memo (see example inAppendix E, “Sample TransmittalCoordination Memo for Drafts”)indicating distribution, and an electroniccopy (in Microsoft Word) will be sent toeach Service (including US CoastGuard), combatant command CRA,JSDS, Service doctrine centers andcommands, USJFCOM JWFC, andappointed TRAs for review andcomment. Copies being sent to overseasaddressees (e.g., United StatesCommander in Chief, Europe(USCINCEUR) and Commander inChief, US Pacific Command(USCINCPAC)) will be sent via first-class mail. Every effort should be madeto expedite the transmission of draftpublications for staffing. Maximumutilization of electronic distribution isencouraged. E-mail, with attachments,is an effective method of rapidlydistributing draft publications in aformat that can be edited andretransmitted to subordinate commands.(2) The PRA will announce the mailingvia message. (3) The PRA will forwardan electronic version to the Director, J-7 to be placed under “Joint ElectronicLibrary” on the CJCS Joint Doctrine

website where they will be available fordownloading. The electronic versionshould be in Microsoft Word forWindows; however, American StandardCode for International Interchange,WordPerfect, or any version of MicrosoftWord is acceptable. Publication figuresand pictures will be provided to theDirector, J-7, electronically as separatefiles in common graphics and photoformat, appropriately annotated toconvey location in the publication inaccordance with J-7 technicalimplementing instructions.

•• All action addressees should providereview comments to the PRA inaccordance with the timeline establishedin the transmittal letter or message. (1)Only one consolidated list of reviewcomments will be submitted from eachCRA. (2) Consideration should be givento using exercises and real-worldoperations to gather inputs for evolvingpublications and to help resolve jointdoctrine issues. (3) Review commentswill be provided electronically in generalcomment, comment, and/or line-out/line-in formats with supporting rationalein accordance with JSM 5711.01A, JointStaff Correspondence Preparation.Examples are provided at Annex A toAppendix E, “Sample GeneralComment, Comment, and Line-Out/Line-In Formats.” (4) A consolidatedlist of all CRA comments should bemade available to every CRA. Thereview comments will be arranged infour distinct categories. (a) CriticalReview Comments. Critical reviewcomments will cause non-concurrencewith the draft if the concern is notsatisfactorily resolved. (b) MajorReview Comments. Major reviewcomments are significant concerns thatmay result in non-concurrence with theentire document. This category may beused with a general statement of concern

III-8

Chapter III

JP 1-01

with a subject area, thrust of thedocument, or other appropriate concern,followed by detailed review commentson specific entries in documents that,taken together, constitute the concern.(c) Substantive Review Comments.Substantive review comments areprovided because sections in thedocument appear to be or are incorrect,incomplete, misleading, or confusing.(d) Administrative ReviewComments. Administrative reviewcomments correct inconsistenciesbetween different sections, typographicalerrors, or grammatical and editorialerrors. (These administrative reviewcomments are optional for all reviewers.)(5) Inputs may include proposed quotes,figures, vignettes, and photographs.(NOTE: Concurrence and non-concurrence is only required with finalcoordination versions of a publication.During the other phases, input isprovided as comments.)

•• The PRA will analyze the reviewcomments and incorporate theappropriate changes into the publicationand should host a second joint doctrineworking group (if appropriate), co-facilitated by USJFCOM JWFC, todiscuss the changes and come toconsensus on the content. Anyunresolved issues will be identified andpresented to the LA at this time. A briefsummary of important changes andreasons why critical comments were notincluded will be provided withsubsequent drafts. In addition, the LAshould have access to all historicalcorrespondence with publications, toinclude CRA comments on requests forfeedback and front end analysis,including any records on why decisionswere made.

•• The LA will forward the consolidatedfirst draft to the J-7, Joint Staff for

formatting and placement on the CJCSJoint Doctrine website. The consolidatedfirst draft must be in the 8.5- by 11-inchblack and white standard joint format— double spaced with numbered lines,vertical lines in the outside margin wherechanges were made from the previousedition, and any pictures, quotes, andvignettes that have been collected. Bothpaper and electronic copies will beprovided.

•• Second draft versions of eachpublication will be converted by the J-7,Joint Staff, with the assistance of the LA,to the 6- by 9-inch format withphotographs, quotes, vignettes, figures,and text in double-column, single-spacelayout, with numbered lines and verticallines in the outside margin identifyingchanges from the first draft. Afterformatting, the J-7 will return the seconddraft to the LA for staffing.

•• Second draft comments will again beprovided directly to the PRA. All seconddraft comments will be complete at theO-6, or civilian equivalent, as above. (1)The PRA should hold another workinggroup, if required, and incorporate theappropriate comments into a proposedpublication for submission to the LA. (2)Any unresolved issues will be identifiedand presented to the LA at this time.

•• The LA will review the PRA’s inputand attempt to resolve any outstandingissues (see subparagraph 4c below).

•• The proposed publication will beforwarded to the JSDS and include thefollowing: (1) Identification of anyunresolved issues; (2) Identification ofand justification for the differencesbetween the proposed publication andexisting or emerging joint,multinational, and Service doctrine; (3)Any recommendations concerning the

III-9


consolidation, cancellation, orconversion to a CJCSI based on existingjoint doctrine.

•• JSDS will forward the proposedpublication, including an electroniccopy, to the Director, J-7, Joint Staff forformatting and placing on the CJCSJoint Doctrine website.

c. Elevating Contentious Issues. It is veryimportant that the PRA and LA ensure thatcontentious issues are elevated for resolutionto appropriate decision making authoritiesas early as practical in the development stage.Accordingly, when issues arise and are notresolved at the various working groups, the JSDSwill be alerted to commence such action as maybe appropriate in accordance with CJCSI5711.01A, Policy on Action Processing.

d. Development Status. The status ofindividual draft and approved jointpublications will be posted under “JointPublication Status” on the CJCS JointDoctrine website.

5. Approval Stage

The approval stage consists of FC and anoptional test publication phase whenapplicable. All coordinations will becompleted at the O-6 (or civilian equivalent)planner level or above.

a. Approval of joint doctrine projects willbe accomplished by the Director, J-7 and theJSDS using guidance herein and in CJCSI5711.01A, Policy on Action Processing. Tothe maximum extent possible, publicationswill be posted on the CJCS Joint Doctrinewebsite. Each Service, combatant command,and joint staff directorate will be tasked toreview and provide comments to the JSDS.

b. The FC version will be printed by theJ-7, Joint Staff with the assistance of the JSDS

in a 6- by 9-inch format with photographs,quotes, vignettes, figures, and text in double-column, single-space layout, with linenumbers for easy reference. The FC versionalso will contain vertical lines in the outsidemargin identifying changes from the seconddraft edition. (NOTE: CRAs will provide astatement of concurrence or non-concurrencefor all FC versions.)

c. Working with the JSDS, the joint staffterminologist will ensure that all jointpublication glossaries are in correct formatprior to the staffing of the FC version. Thejoint staff terminologist will be responsiblefor ensuring the subsequent validity ofrecommended glossary changes and theirincorporation into the joint publication prior tofinal approval by the Chairman of the JointChiefs of Staff or a designated representative.

d. The LA or a designated representativewill attach a brief summary of importantchanges and reasons why critical commentswere not included in the second draft version.The JSDS will attach a similar summary forthe FC version.

e. Fast-Track Doctrine

• Fast-track doctrine is a method toaccelerate the doctrine developmentprocess (See Figure III-2). Because ofthe compressed timeline, few jointpublications can be “fast tracked.” Onlythose proposals personally requested bya combatant commander, Service Chief,or Director of a Joint Staff directorateand approved for development by theDirector of the Joint Staff will be placedin “fast track” development.

•• Approved for development by theDirector of the Joint Staff.

•• Developed by a joint doctrinedevelopment team in which Services andother interested agencies participate.Actual writing will be performed by theLA.

•• Coordination of all drafts must be atthe planner level or higher.

•• All critical comments will beimmediately resolved at the planner levelor higher.

•• Approved within approximately 12months of project approval.

•• Tracked monthly with quarterlyproject status sent to the Director, JointStaff, combatant commanders, andService Chiefs.

f. Optional Test Publication andEvaluation Phase. During development, anymember of the Joint Doctrine DevelopmentCommunity (e.g., the Joint Staff, Services,

and combatant commands) may submit arequest and justification for having apublication undergo formal evaluation.Requiring a publication to undergo evaluationas a test publication normally would beappropriate only when significant differencesof opinion exist that can be evaluated bysurvey, structured interview, or observationduring exercises and operations. Thedecision to include a test publication andevaluation stage would be coordinated whenstaffing the proposed publication.

• Test Publications. The decision toproceed with a test publication willnormally take place after second draftstaffing and will result in a proposed testpublication for final staffing. Uponcompletion of coordination with thecombatant commands, Services, andJoint Staff by the JSDS in accordancewith the CJCSI 5711.01A, Policy onAction Processing, and after approval bythe Director, J-7, Joint Staff, draft jointdoctrine will be published as testpublications for evaluation.

to scope of the test publication’s approvalevaluation directive. Test publicationswill be considered as interim jointdoctrine, as appropriate, underevaluation. Differences of opinion willbe included as an appendix to the testpublication. Test publication distributionwill be the same as the distribution ofapproved publications. Test publicationswill be distinctly marked (e.g., “JointTest Publication X-XX,” on the coverand page headers) to ensure that usersare aware of the provisional nature ofthe publication. The steps involved instaffing a joint publication within theoptional test and evaluation stage areillustrated in Figure III-3.

• Evaluation

•• The Director, J-7, Joint Staff willoversee joint doctrine evaluations toensure the adequacy, completeness, andconsistency of evaluations.

•• An evaluation agent will be identifiedduring the test publication decisionprocess using the following criteria: (1)The evaluation agent normally will bethe USJFCOM JWFC; (2) Theevaluation agent should be sufficientlystaffed and funded to conduct liaisonvisits and field evaluation; (3) Theevaluation agent should be committedto conducting the evaluation from startto finish.

•• Evaluation directives will bedeveloped and staffed with thecombatant commands, Services, and theJoint Staff (see Appendix F, “SampleEvaluation Directive”). Staffing willproceed as follows. (1) The evaluationagent develops a proposed evaluationdirective and conducts coordination inaccordance with CJCSI 5711.01A,Policy on Action Processing. Assistedby the J-7, Joint Staff, the evaluation

agent will conduct PC by staffing the firstdraft of the evaluation directive with theServices, combatant commands, andJoint Staff. (2) After all comments arereceived from PC staffing, the evaluationagent will make the necessary changesand staff a final draft of the evaluationdirective for planner-level coordinationto the Services, combatant commands,and the Joint Staff, again assisted by theJ-7. (3) Comment categories (critical,major, substantive, and administrative)used for comments on draft publicationsalso should be used in addressing firstand second draft evaluation directiveconcerns. A “critical category” commentwill require resolution by the evaluationagent. If the concern cannot be resolvedby the evaluation agent, the action willbe passed to the Director, J-7, Joint Staff,for completion of the approval stage. (4)Upon receiving comments on the finaldraft, the evaluation agent will completethe approval stage by preparing aproposed evaluation directive andforwarding it to the Director, J-7, JointStaff, for release. This evaluationdirective will formally notify appropriatecombatant commands of the evaluationagent’s intent to use exercises, structuredinterviews, or surveys in their theater toevaluate the specified joint testpublication. All combatant commandsand Services will be addressees and willbe notified of all further updatesconcerning the evaluation plan.

•• The evaluation agent will select theoptimum means available for evaluation.Evaluation options include use ofexercises, evaluations, surveys,structured interviews, or a combinationof the above. Recommendations as tothe most appropriate means to be usedfor evaluating test publications will bebased on issues remaining after thesecond draft publication staffing.

staffing will include a recommendedevaluation method.

•• Differences of opinion included in thetest publication must be made part of theevaluation criteria. Resolution of thesecritical differences is essential during thetest period. However, differences of opinionshould be restated in terms conducive tothe evaluation process and not simplyquoted verbatim from the test publication.

•• Interim evaluation reports (e.g.,results of evaluations conducted duringspecific exercises and structuredinterviews) will be released by theevaluation agent to the joint doctrinepoints of contact for information.

•• The evaluation agent will develop afinal evaluation report usingobservations from interim evaluationreports. The final evaluation report willinclude specific recommended line-out/line-in refinements to the publication.After review, the Director, J-7, Joint Staffwill sign the report and send it to theLA with information copies to thecombatant commands and Services.

•• If evaluation results indicate arequirement for changes to thepublication, the LA will rewrite thepublication as required and return themodified publication to the J-7, JointStaff. The J-7, Joint Staff will coordinatewith the JSDS to send copies to thecombatant commands and Services forfinal approval.

•• Once the evaluation has beencompleted and the proposed publicationhas been promulgated, test publicationsare automatically superseded.

g. After all staffing has been completed,the joint publication is approved and signedas follows.

• By the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs ofStaff for all the capstone, keystone, andother key doctrinal publications deemedappropriate. This will normally includethose publications that are in the upperlevel of the hierarchy, commonly referredto as “above the line.”

• By the Director, Joint Staff, for theChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, forthe remainder of joint publications that arelisted on the joint doctrine hierarchy.

6. Maintenance Stage

The Director, J-7, Joint Staff will overseeapproved joint doctrine publicationmaintenance to ensure that publications servetheir intended purpose and to provide a basisfor subsequent publication changes andrevisions. A critical part of the maintenancestage is the joint publication assessment,which ensures that joint doctrine is currentand useful.

a. Joint Publication Assessments. Theutility and quality of approved jointpublications should be actively andcontinuously assessed. There are two typesof assessments: those provided by usersthrough user feedback, and those providedthrough formal assessments, which areconducted by the AA (normally theUSJFCOM JWFC).

• Assessment Period. The assessmentperiod is essentially continuous andextends from the date of publicationapproval to publication revision. If apublication is revised prior to its 5-yearrevision cycle, the next assessmentperiod will be reset to begin at theapproval date of the revisedpublication.

• User Feedback. The joint communityis encouraged to assess the value of eachpublication and submit comments to the

III-14

Chapter III

JP 1-01

USJFCOM JWFC whenever there is aneed for modification of any kind.Procedures for submitting userrecommendations are contained in theadministrative instructions appendix ofeach joint publication. These commentswill be incorporated into thepublication’s formal assessment reportor, if the comments are of an urgentnature, the USJFCOM JWFC willforward the comments to the J-7, JointStaff and LA for immediate processing.

• Formal Assessments. The AA willconduct formal assessments to addressusefulness of existing joint doctrine andJTTP. The AA will not concentratesolely on a single publication, but willconsider related joint publications.When real-world operations or exercisesare used as publication assessmentvehicles, several publications may besimultaneously assessed. The results ofthe assessment can “spill over” into otherpublications and may require theirmodification. These assessments willfocus on out-of-date material,inconsistencies with other jointpublications, doctrinal voids, and thereadability of the publication. They alsowill address whether publications shouldbe reorganized, consolidated, or deletedin whole or in part. The focus of theseassessments is limited to the applicationof joint doctrine, not individual or unitperformance.

•• All joint publications undergo acontinuous assessment, and the AApotentially prepares two formalassessment reports for each jointpublication. The requirement for the firstformal assessment (the mid-periodassessment) will be determined by theUSJFCOM JWFC. This decision isnormally made 18 to 24 months after ajoint publication has been approved. Thesecond assessment (the final assessment)

is conducted in preparation for thenormal 5-year revision of thepublication.

•• Methodology. The AA will developan assessment plan that typically willspecify several assessment opportunitiesand vehicles (real-world operations andexercise observations, interviews,questionnaires, or other inquiries) togather inputs for publicationassessments. The assessment plan alsowill include review of pertinent futureconcepts and results of joint experimentsconducted by combatant commands,Services, and other designated agencies.A variety of headquarters anddirectorates in various Services andcombatant commands, as well as theJoint Staff, doctrine and educationinstitutions, and other organizations thatmay provide important inputs, will bequeried to provide appropriate feedbackfor the publication involved.

•• Request for Feedback (RFF)Messages. For the mid-periodassessment, the AA will send an RFFmessage (see Appendix G, “SampleRequest for Feedback Message”) 18 to24 months after the publication has beendistributed. The AA will send anotherRFF message 3 months prior to the 5-year anniversary of the publication. ThisRFF will gather comments for thepublication’s revision, which will bepassed by the AA to the J-7, Joint Staffto provide to the LA for use in thepublication’s revision.

•• Reports. The AA normally willprepare two reports during theassessment period of a joint publication.(1) The first report is the mid-assessment period report (mid report) tothe J-7, Joint Staff, which makes andsubstantiates one of the followingrecommendations. (a) Accelerated

III-15


Revision. If the AA obtains data duringobservations, user feedback, or liaisonwith the user community that indicatethe need for an accelerated revision, thedata will be analyzed and arecommendation to that effect will beincluded in the assessment report withthe supporting rationale. Acceleratedrevisions should only be consideredwhen there are errors, modifications,deletions, omissions, or other justifiablereasons for significant modifications.The assessment report comments will besubmitted in accordance with theexamples found in Annex A toAppendix E, “Sample GeneralComment, Comment, and Line-out/Line-in Formats. (b) ScheduledRevision. This situation exists whendata has been received and the analysisindicates no change is required until thescheduled 5-year period. In thisinstance, the USJFCOM JWFC willprovide an interim assessment report,which will simply recommend ascheduled revision. After the interimassessment report is submitted to the J-7, Joint Staff, the USJFCOM JWFC willcontinue to compile and analyzecomments on a joint publication throughthe end of the assessment period. (2)The second formal assessment report isthe final report. This report is to provideinput to the LA for the revision of thejoint publication. Three months prior tothe 5-year revision cycle, the AA willrequest the Services, combatantcommands, and Joint Staff to identifyCRAs and comment on the existingpublication. The responses to the RFFmessage questions, as well as commentsreceived on the publication since the midassessment report, will be compiled intothe final assessment report and providedvia the J-7 to the LA, who incorporatesthe recommendations. Assessmentreports will be made available to the JointDoctrine community. However, if the

J-7 directed a change or acceleratedrevision because of the interimassessment report recommendation, thefinal report will not be applicable.

•• Report to the Semiannual JDWP.The USJFCOM JWFC will present abriefing to each semiannual JDWPoutlining assessment activities since thelast meeting. This briefing will includefindings, recommendations, doctrinalvoids, trends, and scheduled activitiesfor the next 6 months.

b. Changes

• Submission of Changes.Recommended changes to approvedpublications will be submitted to theDirector, J-7, Joint Staff. Informationcopies of recommended changes will beprovided to the Services, combatantcommands, Joint Staff, and the AA.

• Change Priorities

•• Urgent. Urgent changerecommendations will be forwarded bypriority message to the Joint Staff (Attn:Director, J-7, Joint Staff), the LA, andUSJFCOM JWFC (see Appendix H,“Sample Urgent ChangeRecommendation”). Urgent changesare those that require immediatepromulgation to prevent personnelhazard or damage to equipment,correct an operating technique, oremphasize a limitation that adverselyaffects combat effectiveness. The LAwill advise the Director, J-7, Joint Staffif the recommended change needs tobe issued as an urgent change. If inagreement, the Director, J-7, JointStaff will inform the Services,combatant commands, and Joint StaffDirectorates and approve the urgentchange for the Chairman of the JointChiefs of Staff.

III-16

Chapter III

JP 1-01

•• Routine. Routine changerecommendations may be forwarded atany time to the Director, J-7, Joint Staff,info the USJFCOM JWFC and the LA.Routine changes are those that requireno immediate action and can be includedin the next scheduled revision of thepublication.

• Change Categories

•• Administrative. Administrativechanges to joint publications will beprocessed with the Services and JointStaff in accordance with CJCSI5711.01A, Policy on Action Processing,and with the combatant commands bymeans of a memorandum. Approval willbe at the lowest appropriate level. If,during processing, the change is deemedto be substantive rather thanadministrative, the change will either beheld for inclusion in the next revision ofthe publication or be processed forformal approval.

•• Substantive. Substantive changes areappropriate when the publicationincludes potentially incorrect,incomplete, misleading, or confusinginformation. A guiding criteria is thatthe changes to joint publications are notso extensive as to require a completerevision. These changes will be circulatedto the combatant commands, Services, andthe Joint Staff for comment and processedfor approval in accordance with CJCSI5711.01A, Policy on Action Processing.

c. Revisions

• Accelerated Revisions. If assessmentrecommendations proposing anaccelerated revision (ahead of thescheduled revision date) are received, theDirector, J-7, Joint Staff will notify theLA. The LA will develop a new programdirective for J-7, Joint Staff approval.

• Scheduled Revisions. Revisionsnormally will be completed on a 5-yearcycle beginning with the effective dateof publication and recurring every 5years upon completion of the most recentreview. Milestones for revision will becoordinated by the J-7, Joint Staff. Ifsufficient justification for a full revisiondoes not exist, the revision or updaterequirement will be coordinated by theLA through the JSDS and Director, J-7.The steps for revision of a jointpublication are the same as developmentand are illustrated in Figure III-1.

• Staffing Requirements. Revisions of jointpublications will be staffed with theServices, combatant commands, and JointStaff. Staffing will proceed as follows.

•• The LA will develop a new programdirective and forward it to the J-7, JointStaff for coordination and approval.

•• The JSDS will forward the proposedrevision, including an electronic copy, tothe J-7, Joint Staff for formatting andposting on the CJCS Joint Doctrine website.

•• The LA will designate a PRA to writethe publication revision. Under thecognizance of the LA, the PRA willdevelop two drafts of the revision inaccordance with the guidance for projectdevelopment in paragraph 4 above. Ifthe scope of the existing publication fallswithin the scope established by the PD,the existing publication may suffice asthe first draft.

•• The LA will make every attempt toresolve any outstanding issues andforward the proposed revision, includingan electronic copy, to the JSDS to beprocessed for approval.

•• The JSDS will process the revisionfor approval in accordance with CJCSI

III-17


5711.01A, Policy on ActionProcessing.

d. Joint Publication Change Notices

• Joint publication change notices will beposted on the CJCS Joint Doctrine website.

• Joint publication change notices also willappear in Joint Force Quarterly, and theUSJFCOM JWFC newsletter, ACommon Perspective.

e. Cancellation or Supersession ofPublications. Cancellation or supersessionof joint publications will be accomplishedthrough formal action by the JDWP. Oncerecommended by the JDWP, the J-7, JointStaff will approve and remove it from thehierarchy and the JEL.

7. Milestones

a. It is critical to the doctrine developmentprocess that contentious issues are resolvedat the earliest opportunity and at the lowestlevel possible (Figure III-4). It is also criticalto the doctrine development process thatleadership gets involved at the early phasesof publication development. Earlyleadership involvement will reduce delaysin the process. If the publication is in thedevelopment stage, then the LA is responsiblefor meeting established milestones. If thepublication is in the approval stage, then theJSDS is responsible for meeting theestablished milestones.

b. If any milestone (as prescribed in thePD) is overdue and the reason for delay isunresolved contentious issues, the followingsteps will be implemented dependent upon a30-, 60-, 90-, and 120-day delay.

• Thirty (30) Days Overdue

•• The J-7, Joint Staff, will host aplanner-level meeting with the LA and

JSDS (as appropriate) to resolve anyoutstanding issues and lay out a plan toget publication development back onschedule. Other Service, combatantcommand, and Joint Staff planners mayattend if appropriate.

•• The LA and JSDS planner will attendthe J-7, Joint Staff-hosted plannermeeting. The LA and JSDS will identifythe issues causing the delay andrecommend a plan of action to getpublication development back onschedule. The LA or JSDS will present adecision briefing to the Director, J-7, JointStaff if they recommend that the milestonesestablished in the PD be adjusted.

•• The Director, J-7, Joint Staff, is theapproval authority for any changes in themilestones established in the PD. TheDirector, J-7, Joint Staff will notify the jointdoctrine development community bymessage of any changes to the PD.

•• The LA or JSDS, as appropriate,will forward unresolved issues to ajoint council of Service DeputyOperations Deputies (DepOpsDeps)for resolution.

• Sixty (60) Days Overdue

•• The LA or JSDS (as appropriate) willbrief a joint council of the DepOpsDepson the issues causing the delay andrecommend a plan of action to get thepublication development back onschedule. The LA or JSDS (asappropriate) will make all arrangementsto brief the DepOpsDeps, to include anypre-briefs required by the Vice Directorof the Joint Staff.

•• The Vice Director of the Joint Staffwill forward unresolved issues to a jointcouncil of Service Operations Deputies(OPSDEPS) for resolution.

1. Formatting JointPublications

a. Organization. Joint publications willhave several main parts and should beorganized as shown in Appendix J, “SampleJoint Publication Organization and Format,”and as described below.

• Front and Back Covers. The jointpublication title, number, date, JointChiefs of Staff, and Service logos (toinclude US Coast Guard) will be printedon the front cover (sample, page J-1).For classified publications, the overallclassification of the publication will beprinted at the top and bottom of the frontand back covers. A figure showing thejoint doctrine development process andhierarchy describing the relative positionof the publication being presented willbe printed inside the back cover. Inclassified publications, the figure insidethe back cover (sample, page J-16) willbe marked UNCLASSIFIED. Thepublication covers will be color-codedas follows:

•• UNCLASSIFIED and FOROFFICIAL USE ONLY — dark blue(pantone 531);

•• CONFIDENTIAL — blue;

•• SECRET — red; and

“One should, once and for all, establish standard combat procedures knownto the troops, as well as to the general who leads them.”

Maurice de SaxeMes Réveries, 1732

•• TOP SECRET — orange.

• Security Instructions (if jointpublication is classified). Securityinstructions are required for all classifiedjoint publications (sample, page J-1) andwill include the following.

•• The long and short titles of the jointpublication will be UNCLASSIFIED.They can both be used when referringto the joint publication in all forms ofcommunications.

•• The reason for the classification andany reproduction or distributionrestrictions or instructions.

•• Instructions for foreign release andsanitation.

• Preface. A preface (sample, page J-2)will be included to describe the scope,purpose, and application.

• Table of Contents. A table of contents(sample, page J-4) will be included.

• Executive Summary. An executivesummary (sample, page J-5) will beincluded which provides an overview ofthe publication. It will consist ofmaterial extracted from the body of thepublication. The first section,“Commander’s Overview,” consists of

IV-2

Chapter IV

JP 1-01

a list of basic concepts presented in thepublication. The second section containsa detailed review featuring the core ideasof the publication. This section isformatted in two columns with detailedinformation on the right andcorresponding key points on the left.Any acronyms or abbreviations that areused in the executive summary must beindependently established in theCommander’s Overview, as well as theleft and right columns in the secondsection. Acronyms or abbreviationsestablished in the Executive Summarymust be reestablished again if used inthe body of the publication.

• Body of Publication. The body of thepublication (sample, page J-7) will bedivided into chapters. The chapters maybe divided into sections and subsections.

See the formatting paragraph belowfor details.

• Appendices and Annexes. Appendicesare placed at the end of the narrativebody before the glossary. Annexes toappendices, if required, follow theappendix to which they apply.

•• References. References, if any, arelisted in the next to the last appendix tothe joint publication (see sample, pageJ-9). This list is to include all documentsused to develop the joint publication.

•• The “Administrative Instructions”appendix is required and is always thelast appendix (sample, page J-10).

• Glossary. The glossary (sample, pageJ-13) usually consists of two parts: PartI, “Abbreviations and Acronyms,” andPart II, “Terms and Definitions.” It isplaced in the back of the publication afterthe appendices. Glossaries are usually

unclassified. If the explanation of a termcontains classified information, allentries must contain a paragraphclassification marking.

•• Part I — Abbreviations andAcronyms. Part I should contain alisting of abbreviations and acronyms asindicated below. If used at least twice,abbreviations and acronyms should beestablished separately in the Preface,both columns of the Executive Summary,and in the text by placing theabbreviation or acronym in parenthesesfollowing the first appearance of theterm; these abbreviations and acronymsshould be included in the glossary. Ifused at least twice in a particularvignette, abbreviations and acronymsshould be established within thatparticular vignette and should not beincluded in the glossary. If used in afigure, abbreviations and acronymsshould be established in a legend withinthe figure and not be included in theglossary. If used in a quote, the meaningof the abbreviation or acronym will beplaced in brackets immediatelyfollowing and will not be included inthe glossary. In those rare cases wherean abbreviation or acronym is morewidely recognized than the meaning andis used less than twice, the abbreviationor acronym may be used if the meaningis placed in brackets immediatelyfollowing. If a particular acronym standsfor more than one term in JP 1-02,Department of Defense Dictionary ofMilitary and Associated Terms, theintended meaning must be clearlyestablished; an acronym may have onlyone defined meaning within thepublication. Abbreviations andacronyms should not be used in the textof definitions, nor should they beestablished in chapter titles, sectionheadings, or figure titles.

Formatting, Printing, and Distributing Joint Publications

•• Part II — Terms and Definitions.The glossary should include terms anddefinitions that are used in thepublication, whether new, modified, orcurrently defined in JP 1-02, Departmentof Defense Dictionary of Military andAssociated Terms. When definitionsfrom JP 1-02 are included to assist thereader, they must be listed in the glossaryexactly as written in JP 1-02, followedby the notation “(JP 1-02).” If additionaltext is desired to elaborate on a JP 1-02definition to provide more informationwithin the context of a particular jointpublication, that information should beprovided in the text of the publication.Publication writers should avoidrepeating glossary definitions verbatimin the text of a joint publication, butshould use text to discuss or expand thedefinitions. Glossary terms should bewritten in lower case unless otherwisedesignated. Use of stand-alone or singlepublication terms should be minimizedand used only when absolutely necessary.Glossary notations of terms and definitionsare summarized in Figure IV-1.

• Index. An alphabetical index (sample,page J-15) may be included if required.

b. Page Formatting

• First Draft. First draft editions of newpublications and first draft revisions orchanges to previously approvedpublications will be 8.5- by 11-inch blackand white standard page format (sample,page J-7). Revised material will bepresented in line-out/line-in format inall revised drafts. Vertical lines in theoutside margins of pages will be used toindicate the location of text that haschanged since the previous draft orapproved publication. Drafts will bedouble-spaced and single-column withnumbered lines.

• Second Draft, FC, and Optional TestPublication Versions. All second draftand FC editions of each publication willbe converted by the J-7, Joint Staff withthe assistance of the JSDS and LA intoa representative 6- by 9-inch formatplaced on 8.5- by 11-inch pages with textin double-column layout. Changedmaterial will be presented in line-out/line-in format. Vertical lines in theoutside margins of pages will be used toindicate the location of text that haschanged since the previous draft orversion.

Samples of the final 6- x 9-inch formatare contained in Appendix J, “SampleJoint Publication Organization andFormat.”

• Approved Publications. Approvedpublications will be converted by theDirector, J-7 into a full color, 6- x 9-inch glossy format.

• Page Classification. The classificationof the joint publication is shown at thetop and bottom centers of each page.Unclassified publications are not markedas such.

• Margins

•• For the drafts, the top and bottommargins of each page will beapproximately 1 inch. On the even-numbered page, the left margin will be1 inch; the right margin will be 1.5inches. On odd-numbered pages, the leftmargin will be 1.5 inches and the rightmargin will be 1 inch.

•• Second draft, FC, and test publicationversions and approved publications willuse margin settings as required tocomply with the 6- x 9-inch format.

• Chapters. The top line on the first pageof each chapter contains the chapternumber in Roman numerals (e.g.,CHAPTER II) and is centered on thepage (sample, page J-7), in regular type,Times New Roman font 14 point. Thetitle of each chapter is printed in capitalletters directly below the chapter numberand centered on the page in bold type,

Times New Roman font 12 point. Allchapters will start on the right side (oddnumbered pages) of the publication.

• Sections. Sections are letteredconsecutively in each chapter using capitalletters (e.g., SECTION A). Sectionheadings are centered in the column in boldtype, Times New Roman font 12 point.

c. Other Guidance

• Copyrights. Copyrights on proprietarymaterials will be secured from theowners. The owners must agree to theprinting and electronic distribution oftheir copyrighted material. Copyrightedmaterial will be marked in jointpublications in order to comply withcopyright laws and give fair credit to theowners of such material.

• Figures. Figures are numberedconsecutively within chapters orappendices using a chapter number orappendix letter, a hyphenated figurenumber, and a period followed by anappropriate caption (e.g., “Figure IV-2.Health Service Support Principles”).The figure number and caption arecentered under the figure in bold type,Arial font 10 point. If the caption is morethan two lines in length, it shall be fulljustified under the figure. If there is afull page landscaped figure, the figurenumber and caption remain centeredunder the figure (which will be on theright hand side of the printed page).There will be a reference to each figurewithin the text that the figure supports.Figures should be placed as close aspossible to, and immediately following,the text they support. Acronyms andabbreviations should not be used infigures. In those cases where their use

is unavoidable, they must be establishedin the figure or in a legend box.

• Photographs. Photographs will not benumbered but will have a caption in italictype, Arial font 9 point.

IV-7


section, they will be set off from theparagraph, full justified, and italicized.Margins will be equal to the referencedparagraph above and the first line willnot be indented.

2. Printing

The USJFCOM JWFC, in coordinationwith the Director, J-7 has responsibility forprinting all unclassified joint publications forthe Joint Staff, joint agencies, and other DODagencies. The Services will fund the printingof all approved joint publications that theyrequire for internal distribution. Quantitiesin excess of 200 will be funded by thecombatant command (MIPR, DD Form 448to USJFCOM JWFC). The Joint Staff willfund the USJFCOM JWFC to stock sufficientquantities of joint publications and JEL CD-ROMs to meet projected needs for the 5-yearlife cycle of the joint publication and the 6-month life cycle of the JEL CD-ROM.

3. Distribution

a. The joint publications distributionsystem includes both push and pull processesto distribute newly approved and revisedpublications.

• The push process provides fordistribution of joint publications directlyfrom the printer to the user. It is acontinuous process that requires theparticipation of the Services, Servicedoctrine centers and commands,combatant commands, and Joint Staff incooperation and coordination with theUSJFCOM JWFC (JW100). TheDoctrine Division, USJFCOM JWFC, isresponsible for the creation andmaintenance of the joint publicationdistribution data base. The USJFCOMJWFC (JW100) is responsible tocoordinate with the J-7, Joint Staff andthe printer, through Defense Automated

Printing Service and the GovernmentPrinting Office, for the initialdistribution of each new and revised jointpublication.

• The pull process occurs whencommands, organizations, and activitiesrequire joint publications additional towhat was received during the pushprocess. A field unit may pull smallquantities of joint publications fromService-maintained inventories byrequesting them through the Service(supporting Service) publicationdistribution center. Relevant addressesmay be found on page M-2 of thispublication or in the administrativeinstructions in the back of eachpublication. If the supporting Service isunable to provide the requested jointpublication(s), the field unit may requestsmall quantities of the joint publicationor CD-ROM from the USJFCOM JWFC(JW100). Field units may alsoelectronically download the jointpublication(s) from the CD-ROM on theunclassified or classified CJCS JointDoctrine website.

b. The USJFCOM JWFC will work withthe Services and combatant commands tocompile a distribution data base for each jointpublication and CD-ROM. Based on mailingaddresses provided, the USJFCOM JWFCestablishes a data base for each jointpublication and each JEL CD-ROM update.The USJFCOM JWFC creates mailing labels,which are married with the new or revisedapproved joint publication. The USJFCOMJWFC, in coordination with the J-7, releasesthe approved publication printinginformation to the printer for printing andmailing. The USJFCOM JWFC will notifythe Services and combatant commands whenjoint publications and CD-ROMs are received“Return to Sender.” The returned items willbe placed in USJFCOM JWFC stocks and

Chapter IV

JP 1-01

remailed after the address is corrected. TheUSJFCOM JWFC is authorized directcoordination with the following agencies onjoint publications and CD-ROM distributionmatters.

• Services Headquarters (or theirdesignated doctrine centers andcommands)

•• Component Commands

•• Reserves

•• Schools

• Combatant Commands

•• Headquarters and Staff

•• Subunified Commands

•• Standing JTFs

• Joint Staff

• Multinational Partners

• Other Agencies and Organizations asauthorized

• Department of Defense

c. Procedures. Each joint publication andCD-ROM, due to its nature, will have its ownparticular distribution list. The goal is toensure that each publication is distributeddown to the user level.

d. When a joint publication or CD-ROMcomes up for initial approval, revision, orreprint, J-7, Joint Staff will request that theUSJFCOM JWFC develop a distribution list.The USJFCOM JWFC will requestdistribution information from the Servicesand combatant commands.

e. The USJFCOM JWFC is responsible forthe overall assessment of the joint publicationand CD-ROM distribution system.

f. Distribution inquires may be directed to:

CHAPTER VJOINT PUBLICATION ORGANIZATION FRAMEWORK

V-1

1. Joint Publication Hierarchy

a. The joint publication hierarchy providesa framework for the serial structure of jointdoctrine and JTTP. The organizationalstructure follows traditional Joint Stafflines of responsibility to the maximum degreepossible. The hierarchy is divided into twolevels: above-the-line doctrine and below-the-line doctrine.

• Above-the-line publications includecapstone and keystone publications andother key joint doctrine publicationswhich the Chairman of the Joint Chiefsof Staff signs and are intended to be usedby combatant commanders, subunifiedcommanders, JTF commanders, ServiceChiefs, and Joint Staff directors. Thecapstone publications (JPs 1 and 0-2)link joint doctrine to national strategyand the contributions of othergovernment agencies, alliances, andcoalitions. The keystone publications(JPs 1-0, 2-0, etc.) constitute thedoctrinal foundation of the series.Each series has a keystone manual asthe first publication in the series.

• Below-the-line publications includethose supporting joint doctrine and JTTPpublications that are signed by theDirector, Joint Staff and contain specificmission area guidance for the jointcommunity. Included in this level arereference publications and those

describing joint personnel, intelligencesupport, joint operations, logisticsupport, planning, and command,control, communications, and computers(C4) systems support.

b. A complete listing of all approved jointpublications and joint publications underdevelopment is contained in JP 1-01.1,Compendium of Joint Publications. Acurrent version of the joint doctrine hierarchywill be maintained on the CJCS JointDoctrine Home Pages.

c. The hierarchy does not contain CJCSIsor CJCSMs. These documents contain policyor detailed procedures for performing specifictasks that do not involve the employment offorces. CJCSIs and CJCSMs do not containjoint doctrine and/or TTP. Accordingly, someformer joint publications (e.g., JointOperation Planning and Execution System)have been converted to CJCSIs or CJCSMs.

2. Joint Publication SeriesDescription

a. JP 0 Series — Capstone Doctrine. JP1, Joint Warfare of the Armed Forces of theUnited States, lays the foundation for jointoperations through doctrine. JP 0-2, UnifiedAction Armed Forces (UNAAF), provides thebasic organization and command andcontrol relationships required for effectivejoint operations of the forces of two or moreMilitary Departments.

“A doctrine of war consists first in a common way of objectively approachingthe subject; second, in a common way of handling it.”

Ferdinand FochPrecepts and Judgments, 1919

V-2

Chapter V

JP 1-01

b. JP 1-0 Series — Joint Personnel andReference Publications. Publications in thisseries establish joint doctrine and JTTP forpersonnel support of joint operations. Inaddition to the keystone doctrine, JP 1-0,Doctrine for Personnel Support to JointOperations, this series includes supportingpublications concerning religious ministry,legal, and financial support guidance. Alsoin the 1 series are reference publications thatare not doctrinally linked to the keystonepublications (e.g., JP 1-02, Department ofDefense Dictionary of Military andAssociated Terms, and JP 1-01.1,Compendium of Joint Publications).

c. JP 2-0 Series — Doctrine forIntelligence Support of Joint Operations.Publications in this series establish jointdoctrine and JTTP for intelligence supportof joint operations. These publications givethe staff planner specific direction inintelligence support to joint operations,counterintelligence, and geospatialinformation and services.

d. JP 3-0 Series — Doctrine for JointOperations. Publications in this seriesestablish joint doctrine and JTTP fordirecting, planning, and executing jointoperations.

e. JP 4-0 Series — Doctrine for LogisticSupport of Joint Operations. Publicationsin this series establish joint doctrine and JTTPfor directing, planning, and carrying outlogistic support of joint operations.Included in this series is guidance ontransportation, health services, petroleum,engineer support, mobilization, mortuaryaffairs, common-user logistics, multinationallogistics, and global distribution.

f. JP 5-0 Series — Doctrine for PlanningJoint Operations. Publications in this seriesestablish the joint planning process relatingto the conduct of joint military operations.Designed for the JTF and above, it provides

broad guidance on campaign planning andJTF planning.

g. JP 6-0 Series — Doctrine forCommand, Control, Communications, andComputer (C4) Systems Support of JointOperations. Publications in this seriesestablish joint doctrine and JTTP for C4systems support to joint operations.

3. Joint PublicationIdentification

The Director, J-7, Joint Staff assigns thepublication number to ensure subject mattercontinuity.

a. The first numerical group identifies thefunctional field as listed above.

b. The second numerical group, precededby a hyphen, places the publication within afunctional field. A zero-digit designator isused to indicate the keystone manual for theseries of a functional field. For example, JP4-0, Doctrine for Logistic Support of JointOperations, would be the keystone manualin the logistic support series, and JP 4-01,Joint Doctrine for the DefenseTransportation System, identifies one of themajor functional areas within logistics.

c. The third numerical group, preceded bya period, designates those publications thatprovide supporting or expanded doctrine orJTTP for sequenced manuals within afunctional field. For example, JP 4-01.3,Joint Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures forMovement Control, deals with transportation(JP 4-01) that falls under joint logistic support(JP 4-0).

d. Joint Number Linkage. Serviceswishing to link their numbering system tothe joint system are provided the followinginformation. Not all possible numbers usingthe joint numbering system are necessary tosupport joint doctrine. As a result, possible

V-3

Joint Publication Organization Framework

numbers are divided into several categories.These include:

• Joint numbers for joint publications inuse or development;

• Joint numbers reserved for possible jointuse; and

• Joint numbers that will not be used.

•• The purpose of the second and thirdcategory is to provide a means forServices to use a compatible numberingsystem.

•• The third category provides theServices a way to number Service-uniquedoctrine without conflicting with anyfuture joint publication numbering.

Appendix K, “Joint PublicationNumbering Matrix,” shows whichnumbers are in each category.

4. Release of Joint Publications

Releasing instructions will be included inthe administrative instruction appendix ofeach joint publication. Request for classified

publications must be in accordance with DODRegulation 5200.1-R, Information SecurityProgram.

a. Approved Publications. Onlyapproved publications are releasable outsidethe Services, combatant commands, and JointStaff. Release of any classified jointpublication to foreign governments orforeign nationals must be requested throughthe local embassy (Defense Attaché Office)to DIA Foreign Liaison Office, PSS, PO-FL,Room 1A674, Pentagon, Washington, DC20301-7400.

b. Publications Under Development.Draft or proposed publications are notreleasable to individuals or agencies outsidethe Services, combatant commands, and JointStaff, to include professional militaryeducation institutions, except for the expresspurpose of review and comment. This is tohelp prevent the possibility ofmisrepresenting joint doctrine and JTTPunder development as approved doctrine, andprecludes quoting or publishing “doctrinalstatements” that may eventually changebefore final staffing and approval. Anyexceptions must be approved through theDirector, J-7, Joint Staff.
