Worth downloading and reading for the US military's view of the world through 2030.

"The Joint Operating Environment is intended to inform joint concept development
and experimentation throughout the Department of Defense. It provides a perspective
on future trends, shocks, contexts, and implications for future joint force commanders
and other leaders and professionals in the national security field. This document is
speculative in nature and does not suppose to predict what will happen in the next
twenty-five years. Rather, it is intended to serve as a starting point for discussions
about the future security environment at the operational level of war."
