Contents: Basic issues of Joint Operations are dedicated in the book. The
contents include basic concepts, the mechanism, function and organization of
Joint Operations; joint /combined cooperation and interoperability; command and
control (C2); information support system of Joint Operations; and advanced
theories in post information age, i.e. Network Centric Warfare (NCW) and
Cyberspace Operations (CO). This book can be used as a teaching book for
overseas students from English-speaking countries, a teaching material for
domestic undergraduate and postgraduate level military basic theory courses,
and a research reference for Joint Operations.

内容简介：本书系统阐述了联合作战的基本问题，包括联合作战的基本概念、机制、功能与组织，联合作战中的联合、协同与互操作，联合作战的指挥与控制(C2)，联合作战的信息支持系统，后信息时代联合作战的前沿理论，如网络中心战(NCW)和网络空间作战(CO)等。本书可作为英语国家留学生的教学用书，也可作为国内本科、研究生层次军事基础理论课程教材和联合作战专题科研参考资料。

Joint Operations are destined to
be complex endeavors. As denoted by General Omar N. Bradley, it takes all our services together plus the
industrial efforts of our Nation to win any major war. Since the operation
theory and principles of Cyberspace were presented by the government and
Pentagon of U.S.
in 2011, Joint Operation has evolved into a new version. In post information age,
Joint Operation is facing much more challenges and opportunities, which are
promoted by the information and networks, and other closely related reform,
such as the theory of system operation based on information system, the
revolution of military power structure adjustment, regulation and operations.

The manuscript of Basic
Introduction of Joint Operations (BIJO) was first put forward in 2014 to meet
the requirements of English language overseas students teaching of Joint
Operations. And after 4 years trial, adjustment and optimization, the revised
version is now formally presented. It should be announced that most of the contents
are from teaching resources and presentations of overseas students in this
course.

In the process of designing, compiling
and optimizing, the revised version was encouraged and tended to contain more complex
factors and essential elements of warfare. The “Joint Publication”, which is a
document published by the U.S.
military as a combat program, provides regulations to guide the daily military
activities of the U.S.
military, and offers the prediction for the future development direction of the
U.S.
military. Joint Operations in Joint Publication released by U.S. in 2016 reflected the current guidance for
conducting joint activities across the range of military operations, and the
release is the basis for U.S.
participation in multinational operations while specific doctrines or
procedures have not been ratified. What is more, with the development of
military informatization, Joint Operations will comprise more information
elements of post information age warfare. But what are the elements involved?
How would the elements implement and act effectively in fast rhythm? When
considering Network Centric Warfare and Cyberspace Operation, what should the coming
version be?

The contents are organized in 7
chapters. Chapter I is the introduction of Joint Operations, including its impression,
concepts and components, characteristics and principles. Chapter II shows the
mechanism, function and organization of Joint Operations, and the idea and
detail are revised based on recent Joint Publisher of U.S.. Chapter III focuses on the
joint/combined cooperation and interoperability, meanwhile Command and Control
in Chapter IV, and Information Support System in Chapter V. These chapters
demonstrate the main contents in Joint Operations. As the advances of Joint
Operations theory, Network Centric Warfare (NCW) and
Cyberspace Operations (CO) are given in
Chapter VI and VII. The two chapters are applied commonly in conceived special
topic teaching and seminars, while they can also serve the purpose of research
reference.

前  言

联合作战注定是一个复杂事物，正如奥马尔·纳尔逊·布兰德雷将军所认为的那样，赢取任何一场重大战争，需要的是各军种力量和工业部门的齐心合力。自从2011年美国政府和五角大楼提出网络空间作战理论和行动原则以来，联合作战已经演变升级为一个新的版本。在后信息时代，信息、网络和与之紧密关联的变革，如基于信息系统的体系作战理论，军事力量结构调整、管控和运维的改革都给联合作战带来了诸多挑战和机遇。

为满足“联合作战”课程针对外国留学生的英文教学需要，在2014年我们就完成了《联合作战基础导论》初稿的撰写。经过了四年的试用、调整和优化，形成了本书。需要声明的是，本书中的大部分内容源于留学生互动教学过程中的教学资源和文稿。

在设计、编写和优化初稿的过程中，编者力图使本书涵盖战争的复杂因素和本质要素。《联合出版物》作为美军发表的作战纲领性文件，不仅规范美军日常军事活动，同时也预示了美军未来的发展方向，其中2016年刚修订过的《联合作战》部分是当前美军战场联合作战行动的指导性文件，也是美国参与多国联合作战的基础，尽管具体的条令和程序还未获批。此外，随着军事信息化的发展，联合作战必将包含后信息时代战争中更多的信息要素。具体而言会涉及哪些信息要素呢？在快节奏的战争进程中，这些信息要素是如何发挥效能的呢？考虑到网络中心战和网络空间作战这些作战样式，未来联合作战又会是什么样的呢？

本书共分为七章。章是对联合作战的介绍，包括联合作战的认知、概念和构成、特点和原则。第二章介绍了联合作战的机制、功能和组织结构，并且以美军近出版的《联合出版物》为基础，对书中的理论和细节进行了修订。第三章主要介绍了联合作战的协同与互操作。第四章介绍了联合作战的指挥与控制。第五章介绍了联合作战的信息支持系统。以上章节论述了联合作战的主要内容。第六章和第七章分别介绍了作为联合作战理论的发展前沿的网络中心战(NCW)和网络空间作战(CO)。这两章内容通常适用于专题教学和研讨，同时也可以作为开展专题研究的参考。
