Neller said that the new concept was built on a foundation of earlier service and joint force concepts, including Expeditionary Force 21 and Cooperative Strategy 21.
‘We went back and looked at [Expeditionary Force] 21 and we decided that we needed to focus more on how we were going to operate,’ he said.
