Ulchi-Focus Lens 97: Putting JV 2010 Into Practice

摘要

The concepts articulated in Joint Vision 2010 and expanded in Concept for Future Joint Operations are essential if the U.S. military is to remain the dominant fighting force in the world. in Korea, Combined Forces Command (CFC) put the concepts into practice during a theater wide joint and combined command post exercise (CPX), Ulchi Focus Lens 97 (UFL 97). The mission of United Nations Command/Combined Forces Command/U.S. Forces Korea is to maintain the armistice, deter war, and if deterrence fails defeat a North Korean attack. Some 700,000 Korean and 37,000 American soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen are able to accomplish the CFC mission through a commitment to training readiness and force modernization. The basis of readiness is a combined and joint exercise program that includes events designed to train joint and combined commanders and staffs on warfighting skills, exercise campaign plans, and practice various contingencies in case of renewed hostilities. It also enables complex staff organizations to practice new processes, coordinate with each other and refine CFC standard operating procedures. Moreover, exercises permit us to share new concepts, practice tactics, techniques, and procedures, and experiment with emerging technologies.
