US Joint Forces Command , the DOD joint deployment process owner, and US Transportation Command, the DOD distribution process owner, have penned a joint vision statement to “align interrelated joint deployment and distribution actions for better mutual performance and to add value for the warfighter,” according to a TRANSCOM news release. JFCOM commander, Air Force Gen. Lance Smith, said the agreement forms “the first step to a better environment that will allow the sharing and maturation of new ideas.”
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
