The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description
Mission — Joint Staff Analytical Support
The Joint Staff Analytical Support (JSAS) family of programs provide defense analytical support capabilities for the Joint Staff and Combatant Commands (CCMDs). JSAS encompasses tools and infrastructure required to conduct analyses and formulate results that assist the Chairman in fulfilling his statutory responsibilities. Key deliverables provided by JSAS include development of Joint Concepts, concepts of operation, innovative operational concept assessments, course of action development for the future joint force operating environment, analyses and studies for joint concept driven, threat-informed capability development approach to joint force development to aid in decision-making, and other analysis efforts to implement timely, low-cost joint force development initiatives.
Mission — Future Joint Force Development and Design
The Joint Staff Analytical Support (JSAS) program supports the Chairman’s Title 10 responsibility for the analytical support, management, and development of future-based joint concepts. These threats based Joint concepts include Joint concepts of operations that advance Joint Force operational effectiveness and enable the introduction and incorporation of new capabilities. The Joint Concepts program supports the Chairman's responsibility to express a vision for the future joint force; addressing operational problems on a 20-year horizon; identifying joint force development implications; and identifying capabilities required to mitigate and solve future joint warfighting gaps. The goal is to enable investment decisions balancing near and long-term risk. Threat-informed joint concepts drive capability development and promote horizontal integration for force development across the Services, Combatant Commands, Defense agencies, OSD and Joint Staff. Key deliverables include: Joint Warfighting Design (JWD): Further identifies innovative and alternative approaches and design options to describe the characteristics, abilities, and technologies of the 2040 Joint Force. Concepts of Operations (CONOPS): Describe how the actions of the joint force components and supporting organizations, consistent with ideas from Joint Concepts, are integrated, synchronized, and phased to accomplish a specific mission, war plan or function within the construct of a future scenario. CONOPS support evaluation of new ways of operating, future force posture mix, advanced capabilities, and authorities in exercises, wargames, and experiments. Joint Operating Environment (JOE) and the Gamechangers report: Developed in partnership with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), these reports describe the future security environment and project the implications of change for the Joint Force. The documents describe the circumstances that may alter the security environment and explore how the intersection and interaction of these changes might impact the character of war in the future. They provide a framework to think about the full range of Joint Force missions and how they may evolve over time to support development of threat-based future Joint concepts and CONOPS. Joint Advanced Fires Qualification Course (JAFQ-C): Develop, standup, and execute JAFQ-C as the OCR for an OUSD P&R initiative as a critical task under CJADC2. JAFQ-C will deliver qualified specialist for operational-level, all-domain joint fires to address Joint Warfighter Concept issues for CCMDs, JTFs, and Components supporting Joint Fires Elements.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Joint Staff Analytical Support. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
