{"product_id":"operate-to-know-joint-forces-staff-college-9781507579275","title":"Operate to Know: An Operational and Intelligence Design for the Operational Level of War","description":"This book is that if the United States and its allies are to fight and win decisively against the complex adaptive adversaries of the twenty-first century, then knowing must become a primary operational activity. Intelligence must ascend from its diminished status to an equal pillar of action with operations, resourced and organized with equipment, processes, and intellectual skills to produce a continuous picture of the enemy and environment tied to forces that can rapidly exploit opportunities to generate more intelligence. The joint force faces a global security environment where adversaries neutralize American superiority in fire and maneuver by hiding and remaining untargetable-especially by avoiding open battle. Adversaries seek to make the environment inhospitable for U.S. forces--driving joint forces to fortified enclaves, marginalizing their influence, and placing them on the defensive. In this environment, the joint force must function differently: pulsing to understand the environment, then taking decisive action while being able to pace the intensity of operations to allow off-ramps for other instruments of national power to take the lead to meet national objectives. This book recommends the development of a joint operating concept that establishes the foundation for an aggressive knowing capability consisting of active observation with pulsing and continous diagnostic feedback to create a continous receive-respond, collect- pulse connection between intelligence and operations to pry, test, understand the environment, and then take decisive action\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joint Forces Staff College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1507579276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781507579275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.20d","brand":"Joint Forces Staff College","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48995862479103,"sku":"9781507579275","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/operate-to-know-joint-forces-staff-college-9781507579275","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
