1: Swiftly Defeat Adversaries
Some operation plans will focus on achieving a limited set of objectives. Commanders’ plans to swiftly defeat adversaries
will include options to: alter the unacceptable behavior or policies of states; rapidly seize the initiative or prevent conflict
escalation; deny an adversary sanctuary, defeat his offensive capabilities or objectives; and provide support to post-conflict
stability. In each case, the Joint Force must combine speed, agility and superior warfighting ability to generate decisive
effects. Moving forces into multiple geographic locations will require assured strategic access as well as strategic and tactical
lift systems robust enough to conduct and sustain multiple, simultaneous operations. Swiftly defeating adversaries in overlapping
operations will require the ability to quickly reconstitute, reconfigure and redeploy forces to conduct another campaign.
