🔔 Joint Working Group Scheduled to Develop a Tactical Bulletin on JSAT 🔔

ALSSA will host a multi-Service working group to draft a tactical bulletin on the Joint Strike Attack Team (JSAT) concept.

📘 This effort builds on a recent study conducted by ALSSA Center action officers and approved by the Joint Actions Steering Committee (JASC). The study assessed whether a multi-Service tactics, techniques, and procedures (MTTP) gap exists in executing coordinated, all-domain strike operations.

🌐 As Joint All-Domain Operations evolve, so must our doctrine. Each Service now possesses deep sensing and strike capabilities—JSAT aims to explore how we integrate these strengths to outpace adversaries.

🛠️ Working Group Objective:
Translate study findings into a tactical bulletin that supports synchronized, cross-Service strike operations and closes any identified MTTP gaps.

📅 Working Group Dates: 2–4 December 2025

ALSSA recently published the latest revision of Multi-Service Brevity Codes. This publication defines and standardizes multi-Service brevity codes agreed upon by each US Service branch. A brevity code provides no additional communications security. Brevity codes only serve to shorten transmissions. This publication does not include Service-specific brevity codes nor is it synonymous with NATO APP-7. Updates to this publication have been shared with the NATO Standardization Office for inclusion or modification into Allied Communications Publications.
