Joint Doctrine Development System (JDDS)

The Joint Doctrine Development System (JDDS) is a structured process used by the military to create, review, and update shared guidelines and principles for how different branches (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard) work together. Its goal is to ensure all services have a common understanding and approach during joint operations, promoting coordination, efficiency, and effectiveness. JDDS involves collaboration among various experts and stakeholders to develop clear, consistent doctrines that adapt to evolving threats and technologies, thereby improving joint force performance and success in complex military missions.
