How does the Defence Update fit with the Future Joint Operating Concept Paper released by CDF in mid-May 2007?
The Defence Update is about overall Defence strategy and policy, whereas the Future Joint Operating Concept (FJOC) Paper is about how the ADF undertake their missions as set by the Government. The FJOC draws on Defence policy documents, particularly the Defence White Paper, as well as the Updates, to describe the likely strategic environment that Defence and the ADF will face out to 2030 and possible ADF responses to those conditions.
