What does RDO stand for?

Since its origination in the Rapid Decisive Operations war game of 2000, ONA's elements have undergone assessment and refinement in major and limited-objective experiments.

The 2002 Toward a Joint Warfighting Doctrine: Rapid Decisive Operations (RDO) concept paper envisioned future operations as effects-based to allow forces to operate across the range (continuum) of military operations.

The Millennium Challenge 2002 joint experiment combined live field exercises and computer simulations to test the military's ability to conduct rapid decisive operations (RDO) against a determined adversary.

18, 2002 Expand Networks, a leader in bandwidth optimization technology today announced that the company's ACCELERATOR products are an integral part of the US Joint Forces Command's Millennium 02 program (MC02) - the nation's ground breaking experiment which includes testing of a portable command and control system that enables Rapid Decisive Operations (RDO) in a simulated war environment.

This emphasis on a rapid tempo of operations is most clearly articulated in the concept of rapid decisive operations (RDO) developed principally by U.

Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM), MC02 focuses on the military's ability to conduct Rapid Decisive Operations (RDO) against a determined adversary.

For example, rapid decisive operations is founded on the premise of "getting there the fastest with the mostest" and exacting as much effect on an enemy as quickly as possible with the minimum expenditure of ordnance and supplies.
