Mark Milley. Army officials said at the C4ISRNET Conference on May 3 that strategy would not necessarily fit a massive land war against a near-peer adversary, or as the Army calls it, a &#8220;decisive action&#8221; scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The way you fight in a counterinsurgency fight has led to requirements, contrasted with decisive action is different,&#8221; said Brig. Gen. Todd Isaacson, the G-6, or top signals official for U.S. Forces Command. The command covers roughly 750,000 active Army, Reserve and National Guard troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army needs to describe its strategy in the context of the &#8220;lethality and dynamic nature of decisive action, multi-domain warfare against a near-peer threat, you have to have mobility like you never had before, protection like you never had before,&#8221; Isaacson said.\u00a0 <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas in a counterinsurgency operation, it is valuable for a commander to know where all of his soldiers are, a decisive-action scenario might only require that information for a platoon-sized unit or larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;That&#8217;s a different problem for the network to consider, and I offer there is an opportunity to re-describe some of its requirements for the network,&#8221; Isaacson said\u00a0 <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Army reorients, it&#8217;s also building strategy to operate in domains where its dominance is not assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new strategy ought to yield a network that lets soldiers control fires and integrate with partner forces \u2014 including special operators and foreign troops\u00a0\u2014\u00a0in other components, Isaacson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isaacson noted that troops at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center have to fight through lapses in satellite and communications, which is yielding new tactics, techniques and procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>Email:\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:jgould@defensenews.com\" title=\"Link:
