This report provides data analysis, conclusions, and recommendations concerning an examination of the lack of standardization in defining functions and activities common to both the capabilities development and joint doctrine communities. It provides an in-depth comparative analysis among the six extant joint functions outlined in joint doctrine and the nine Tier 1 joint capability areas (JCAs) and specific recommendations to better align the joint functions with the Tier 1 JCAs.
