However, the Joint Concept for Entry Operations (JCEO) is a related concept alongside the JAM-CG under the Joint Operations Access Concept (JOAC). In the event of the collapse of a revisionist state like North Korea, JCOE would emerge as the dominant concept requiring ground forces’ presence to restore order and to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation.
