JOAC Problem Statement: The essential problem for future joint forces is to be able to project military force into an operational area and sustain it in the face of armed opposition when which of these trends apply?

all of the above

The JOAC describes principles that when applied in design, planning and execution to a given set of conditions will describe how joint forces would achieve operational access. The term for these principles is:

JOAC Precepts

a) Those actions and capabilities, usually long-range, designed to prevent an opposing force from entering an operational area.
b) The ability to project military force into an operational area with sufficient freedom of action to accomplish the mission.
c) The unhindered national use of the global commons and select sovereign territory, waters, airspace and cyberspace, achieved by projecting all the elements of national power.
d) The complementary vice merely additive employment of capabilities in different domains such that each enhances the effectiveness and compensates for the vulnerabilities of the others-to establish superiority in some combination of domains that will provide the freedom of action required by the mission.
e) Those actions and capabilities, usually of shorter range, designed not to keep an opposing force out, but to limit its freedom of action within the operational area.
f) Areas of air, sea, space, and cyberspace that belong to no one state. Access to the global commons is vital to U.S. national interests, both as an end in itself and as a means to projecting military force into hostile territory.
