WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army and Air Force signed a two-year collaboration agreement to develop a concept for joint all-domain operations, the services announced last week.

According to an Air Force news release, the services agreed to establish the “most basic” levels of what they are calling Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control, or CJADC2, adding a "C" to the usual JADC2, the services’ effort to connect sensors to shooters.

The services agreed to develop mutual data-sharing standards and service interfacing by the end of fiscal 2022.

The effort will be led by Army Futures Command and the Air Force’s office of strategy, integration and requirements known as A5. The agreement was signed during a daylong meeting at the Pentagon on Sept. 29 between Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown and Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville.

The only thing "new" about this is they are making it formal. It's been going on for decades.

I  just hope there are no "staking out turf" games to be played now that senior brass is getting involved. It has always been done "on the fly" before by the people from both branches who would actually be involved in the airborne and ground operations getting together and agreeing on how it would work.

Make it formal,and involve senior Colonels who want to make Generals,and actual Generals,and it will be more about penis measuring and service rivalries than working together.

That's the nature of General Officers.
