Se piensa en la guerra (war) y conflicto del futuro, la que según los autores se suele concebir de manera incorrecta, pues no se trata de identificar conflictos específicos o relaciones con adversarios ni tampoco en tratar de identificar las causas del próximo conflicto. Para ver la guerra del futuro los militares: “should focus on those factors and circumstances that will most directly affect the decisions and actions of future joint commanders. It should consider those international, human, and technological factors that will drive conflict. It should develop a set of competitive spaces that will alter the character of conflict. It should cultivate the intellectual agility and mental resilience that will allow members of the joint force to have—much as Admiral Nimitz intimated—a sense of déjà vu in the midst of crisis. It is about understanding the missions the future joint force will be asked to conduct and about ensuring the joint force has the tools and operational approaches it needs to win.” (Becker y DeFoor, 2018: 123).

Palabras clave: Joint Operating Enviroment 2035, Guerra del futuro, Nuevos conflictos.
