 | ALIGNING ROLES AND MISSIONS FOR FUTURE MULTIDOMAIN WARFARE By SEAN M. ZEIGLER, SARAH HARTING, SEBASTIAN JOON BAE, JULIA BRACKUP, ALAN J. VICK
The formal decisions, documents, and events that established service roles and functions for
the United States military in the early post–World War II years are now over 70 years old (see
Box 2.1). Although the foundational documents and agreements have been modified somewhat
through legislation—primarily the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization
Act of 1986 (see Box 3.1)—organizational changes, and joint service agreements, the original

 | JOINT ALL-DOMAIN COMMAND AND CONTROL: BACKGROUND AND ISSUES FOR CONGRESS By John R. Hoehn
The Department of Defense (DOD) is in the process of a once-in-a-generation modernization of
its approach to commanding military forces. Senior DOD leaders have stated that the
department’s existing command and control architecture is insufficient to meet the demands of
the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS). Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) is
DOD’s concept to connect sensors from all of the military services—Air Force, Army, Marine
Corps, Navy, and Space Force—into ...Read more > | 25 Pages 1.65 MB |

 | ARMY MULTI-DOMAIN TRANSFORMATION: READY TO WIN IN COMPETITION AND CONFLICT By Headquarters, Department of the Army
The United States is facing an unprecedented set of challenges to our national interests.
China and Russia continue to challenge the rules-based international order. Both have become
increasingly more assertive in an effort to advance their agendas, aimed at supplanting the U.S.
globally. By 2040 China and Russia will have weaponized all instruments of national power to
undermine the collective wills of the United States, Allies, and partners, while simultaneously
cultivating their own ...Read more > | 39 Pages 2.08 MB |

 | MULTI-DOMAIN OPERATIONS IN CONTEXT By General William S. Wallace, U.S. Army, Retired
During the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States Army undertook a comprehensive review and
analysis—demonstrated principally by the Russian New Generation Warfare study—of the rise in aggressive
behavior exhibited by potential great-power competitors (then called near-peer competitors).1
This resulted
in several disturbing observations. First, but not surprising, there are nations (most notably Russia and China) that have studied the American way of war and developed concepts ...Read more > | 6 Pages 263.27 KB |

 | INTEGRATED AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE IN MULTI-DOMAIN OPERATIONS By Jeremiah Rozman
In the years following 9/11, the U.S. military has predominantly fought lowtech adversaries. In these conflicts, aerial threats to U.S. assets and forces
have been rudimentary. To maximize efficiency for the counterinsurgency
mission, the U.S. military has had to deprioritize air defense units’ personnel, training and equipment, allowing air defense capabilities to atrophy.
Meanwhile, America’s rivals have been pursuing capabilities that ...Read more > | 12 Pages 5.69 MB |

 | THE MULTI-DOMAIN BATTLE CONCEPT: A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT By Dr. Manabrata Guha & Prof. David J. Galbreath
The Multi-Domain Battle (MDB) concept as championed by the U.S. Armed Forces, particularly the U.S. Army, aims to supplant the Air Land and Air Sea Battle concepts.1 This aim is underwritten by a growing appreciation that “[p]otential
adversaries are closing the technology gap with the United States and developing strategies to keep U.S. forces at ...Read more > | 74 Pages 977.86 KB |

 | COMMENTARY ON “THE US ARMY IN MULTI-DOMAIN OPERATIONS 2028” By Huba Wass de Czege
Any response to Russian or Chinese aggression
from the United States and its Allies requires military
operating concepts, materiel solutions, and forward
deployed forces in well-planned and prepared
defenses to deter these adversaries credibly and, if
necessary, defend the status quo. These concepts must
rely on sound military theories and testable hypotheses
that yield a logical theory of victory. ...Read more > | 66 Pages 864.49 KB |

 | CYBER CAPABILITIES AND MULTIDOMAIN OPERATIONS IN FUTURE HIGH-INTENSITY WARFARE IN 2030 By Franz-Stefan Gady, Alexander Stronell
Synchronised kinetic and cyber operations across domains that
present ‘multiple dilemmas’ are a fundamental tenet of multi-domain operations. Recent practice and study of the battlespace use of cyber capabilities
in conjunction with kinetic operations, however, have shown the difficulties
in creating joint effects due to insufficient synchronisation of operations or
lack of coordination and control of cyber effects. This paper outlines ...Read more > | 26 Pages 278.36 KB |

 | MISSION COMMAND OF MULTI-DOMAIN OPERATIONS By Mark Balboni et al
The Army’s emerging multi-domain operations (MDO) concept places new challenges
on the recently revised Army doctrine for mission command. The United States has not
fought against a peer competitor in 75 years as a result, individual services have focused
conceptually on fighting their own symmetrical domain wars and paid less attention to
supporting other services in other domains. As technology changes and defense ...Read more > | 87 Pages 3.00 MB |
