The CDD leads the development of concepts that provide the context for assessment and analysis within the JCIDS process. These concepts illustrate how current and future forces will operate; describe the capabilities required to carry out a range of military operations against adversaries in the expected joint operational environment; and demonstrate how a commander, using military art and science, might employ these capabilities to achieve desired effects and objectives.
