The key general capabilities necessary to rebalance the Joint Force 2025 given the current strategic direction and global security environment to ensure Freedom of Maneuver (FOM) in the global commons and dominance within the cyber and space domains. Enhanced capabilities to protect cyber and space domains and synchronized partnered alliances are required to counter threats to these domains.

It is imperative that the Marines retain the skills honed from fifteen years of combined arms and irregular warfare, but shift their focus back to amphibious assault in contrast to a protracted role of a standing army. The advantages of an extensive maritime global commons presence enable a power projection and influence ashore. The disadvantages encompass the reality that seventy-one percent of the earth’s surface is water, but even with the largest naval fleet in the world the tyranny of distance and the expanse of time to position assets …show more content…
A failure to provide the Joint Force with the capabilities above would contain current operations and would limit the Joint Force securing the global economy while deterring a catastrophic attack on the U.S. homeland and critical infrastructure. Operations in these global commons must have the ability decisively quash any challenges from adversaries and serve notice to the world the U.S. FOM in these domains is undeniable.
The global economy is a future challenge risk that complicates the Joint Force 2025 vision. Many factors contribute to a treacherous economic terrain in emerging markets that are beyond the United States control stemming from “major economic powers to focus on domestic imperatives without regarding the impact on others.” The current fiscal environment brought on by the Budget Control Act of 2011 creates uncertainty in the planning for the Joint Force to adequately source capabilities that ensure FOM and assert dominance in global commons. Future legislation needs to hedge against large-scale economic shocks in the world economy while preserving the Joint Force ability to execute missions, invest in critical technologies while continued to be a vanguard of stability for our
