Connect operations to strategy;ensure progress toward policy goals 24. Conduct sustained engagement to build partner capacity, prevent conflict, and prepare for contingencies 25. Overcome anti-access and area denial capabilities; help ensure freedom of action in maritime and aerospace domains 26. Conduct reconnaissance in close contact with enemy and civilian populations 27. Employ a combination of defeat and stability mechanismsto accomplish the mission 28. Conduct and sustain operations from and across extended distances 29. Protect information and communications systems; enable ability to fight degraded 30. Operate under conditions of transparency (24-hour news, internet)Metrics
