This essay finds and describes in general terms the shortcomings of joint forces. Such as the lack of personnel, rapid technological advancement and the wide range of operations assigned to the armed forces. The domain most affected by deficiencies is space and cyber. The Air force is the most qualified service to continue in charge of operations in space and in cyber. Considering deficiencies as challenges to be faced in the future, the joint forces will have a synergy when working together. Analyzing the problem in a joint way the solution will be complete and integral according to the needs that appear in the strategic security environment. Globalization allows the flow of information, the exchange of goods and technology between continents at once. This globalization works in two ways the first the commercial and economic interconnectivity create an environment of productivity increasing work opportunities and lower costs of production. Second, the other side of globalization may lead to financial problems in less developed countries also smuggling and drug trafficking in a global scale. This deviant globalization allows transnational criminal organization and violent extremist organization to run globally. The globalization is only one example of the complexity of the world. Other aspects of the complications that affect the relations between nations such as the balance of power, the continuous economic struggle, demographic changes, and the resource demand. The strategic security environment is characterized by uncertainty, complexity, rapid change, and persistent conflict. This environment is fluid, with continually changing alliances, partnerships, and new national and transnational threats constantly appearing and disappearing.

War can result from failure of states to resolve their disputes by diplomatic means. The US uses the national instrument of power to keep the leadership position in the world. “As a nation, the US wages war employing all instruments of national power—diplomatic, informational, military, and economic. The President employs the Armed Forces of the United States to achieve national strategic objectives.” US military helps the executive to use correctly the “M “of the DIME. The ability of the US military to work with the department of defense DOD and interagency partners. This offers a clear advantage. To illustrate, All Service components contribute their distinct capabilities to the joint force “The capacity of the Armed Forces of the United States to work as a cohesive joint team is a key advantage in any operational environment” The effectiveness of the joint forces depends on the interoperability between forces, and this will be more effective with a common doctrine that connects the strategy with operational and tactical decisions. Furthermore, The DOD have developed the joint doctrine. And the “purpose of the joint doctrine is to enhance the operational effectiveness of joint forces by offering fundamental principles that guide the employment of US military forces toward a common objective.” Multinational operations also need common doctrinal language. For this reason, much of the information and guidance supported unified action and joint operations apply to multinational operations. Nonetheless, reaching “unity of effort through the unity of command for a multinational operation may not be politically possible, but it should be a goal.” Thus, the above shows the complexity of joint operations and multinational cooperation with NGOs and government institutions. Also, makes clear the need to rely on common language to allow the link between services and nations to achieve the military objectives attached to the joint forces. Nevertheless, the joint forces have their capacities and limitations as a joint force, additionally each service works independently per the domain in which they perform. “joint forces require high levels of interoperability and systems that are conceptualized and designed with joint architectures and acquisition strategies” Then, each service must cooperate in the domain that corresponds to the development of unit effort to reduce the weaknesses and strengthen joint capacities. The joint forces must integrate and synchronize operations in such a manner as to apply force from different dimensions to shock, disrupt, and defeat opponents. Selecting the right mix of forces to reach the desired end state is more challenging today than ever before. Joint Forces Commanders JFC must consider the capabilities and limitations of each service. The understanding of the different services and their capabilities offers the ability to apply force from different dimensions. The shortcomings of the joint forces are because of the reduction of
