This year's booth theme highlights the Joint Operating Environment (JOE) and the Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO). The JOE identifies challenges for future joint forces and sets demand signals to address those challenges. Complementing the JOE is the CCJO, signed by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This document articulates the Chairman's vision for how the future joint force will operate to address the challenges and meet the demands of future operating environments.

Each speaker will discuss how his organization within JFCOM is working to address the issues identified in these documents
