Pelaksanaan Operation Iraqi Freedom di Irak tahun 2003 disebut-sebut sebagai momentum tercapainya suatu revolution in military affairs oleh militer Amerika Serikat. Penjatuhkan rezim Saddam Hussein dari kepemimpinannya di Irak berhasil dilakukan dengan tempo yang singkat dan korban jiwa serta biaya yang minim. Tujuh tahun sebelumnya, Departemen Pertahanan Amerika Serikat mempublikasikan dokumen Joint Vision 2010, yang berisi konsep-konsep operasional yang dirancang Amerika Serikat untuk dapat mencapai suatu bentuk dominasi menyeluruh dalam setiap pertempuran yang melibatkan militer Amerika Serikat. Konsep-konsep tersebut terbukti berhasil diimplementasikan secara efektif dalam pelaksanaan Operation Iraqi Freedom. Penelitian ini kemudian menganalisis faktor-faktor penyebab berhasilnya implementasi konsep-konsep tersebut dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kuantitaif-eksplanatif. Hasil penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa, keberhasilan implementasi konsep-konsep operasional tersebut disebabkan oleh faktor kapabilitas speed, precision, situational awareness dan jointness yang dimiliki oleh militer Amerika Serikat dalam pelaksanaan Operation Iraqi Freedom. ...... In 2003, United States conduct a military operation in Iraq to topple the Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist regime and replace it with a stable democracy government. The major combat operations in the so-called "Operation Iraqi Freedom" which occurred from March 20, 2003 to April 9, 2003, is described to represent the achievement of a revolution in military affairs by the United States military. Seven years prior to the operation, the United States Department of Defense published "Joint Vision 2010", a conceptual template for how United States' Armed Forces will channel the capabilites to achieve a revolution in military affairs. The operational concepts which included in the document proofed to be implemented successfully seven years later in Operation Iraqi Freedom. This research try to analyze the major contributing factors to the implementations of Joint Vision 2010 in Operation Iraqi Freedom, which come to the conclusion that the implementation has been achieved succesfully because of four capabilites that United States' Armed Force possessed: speed, precision, situational awareness and jointness.
