About this event
JSOU Snapshot is a series of short learning videos made just for you, busy special operations professionals, to educate and inform on topics of interest, confusion, controversy, and question. The objective of these short videos is to teach or clarify concepts that are important for you to know, in 5 minutes or less. In this video, we ask "What is the Joint Warfighting Concept? And how does it affect SOF?" Throughout history, how, where, when and why nations have conducted warfare has changed due to advances in technology, the nature of relative power between nation states, and political realities at any given moment. As time goes on, the likelihood of large armies facing off in a field of battle decreases, and the future of warfare takes on an ever-evolving look. The Joint Warfighting Concept helps us meet these challenges, and this video summarizes it. Keep an eye out for more JSOU Snapshots in the near future!
