Each of the past three years has seen the Army build and upgrade its newest war-fighting concept<\/a>, one that leaders look to transform the service in an era of greater competition<\/a> and multi-faceted threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That concept, while improved, will continue to evolve in the coming year as well, with more experimentation and feedback from soldiers at all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army will fight its future battles through formations geared toward multi-domain operations<\/a> and guided by real-world threats to global military superiority, according to an updated version of Army war fighting called Multi-Domain Operations 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cU.S. Army in Multi-Domain Operations 2028\u201d is both a revision to ongoing war-fighting plans and an invitation for input from across the force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe American way of war must evolve and adapt,\u201d Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley wrote. \u201cIt describes how U.S. Army forces, as part of the Joint Force, will militarily compete, penetrate, dis-integrate, and exploit our adversaries in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while it has been formed by commanders at Army Training and Doctrine Command, Army leaders know it needs more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery one of you is part of our evolution and the construction of our future force,\u201d Milley wrote, addressing soldiers, \u201cand we want your critical feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main task of this new battle concept is to get after \u201clayered stand-off,\u201d in which adversaries have created ways to deny historical U.S. dominance of domains such as air-land-sea, and new ones such as information and electromagnetic spectrums to keep U.S. and allied military units at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
