Pre-MDD capability and capability gap analysis provides the basis for the requirements that may eventually find their way into big-dollar military contracts. Well, it makes logical sense (and helps tremendously with credibility…) to tie this gap analysis to what our senior leadership envisions for the future – generally 15 or more years hence. One of these guidance documents is called the Capstone Concept for Joint Operations or CCJO. Essentially, the CCJO describes the future security environment and challenges we are facing as a nation. The CCJO also includes high-level operational concepts that address these challenges.
On 10 Sep 2012, General Dempsey signed and issued a new CCJO, titled “Joint Force 2020”:

This CCJO supports the vision outlined in another strategic guidance document, the National Defense Strategy or NDS. The current NDS, issued January of 2012, is titled “Sustaining U.S. Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense”: https://acc.dau.mil/CommunityBrowser.aspx?id=527442&lang=en-US
Finally, here’s an article by Jim Garamone of the American Forces Press Service that summarizes elements of this latest CCJO: http://www.jcs.mil/newsarticle.aspx?ID=1012
