As adversaries make technological advancements, the U.S. military has had to adapt and change its concepts. For the Army, this has led to an emerging multi-domain battle concept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you think about what we\u2019ve been doing over the last 16, 17 years, I would argue that we\u2019ve primary been contested in the land\u201d domain, Gen. James McConville, the Army\u2019s vice chief of staff said at the AUSA Global Force Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama March 26. \u201cWe\u2019ve been pretty much able to sail our equipment across the seas. The last time that an American solider was killed by an enemy aircraft was April 15, 1953. We really haven\u2019t been contested from enemy air and we really haven\u2019t been contested in space and cyber. But we don\u2019t think that is the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, McConville added \u201cwe know that we\u2019re going to be contested in every single domain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new approach will require help from all the services to seamlessly use their weapons and capabilities in all domains of battle, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe return of a near peer competitor in Europe and the things that we\u2019ve seen in Crimea, the Eastern Ukraine, Syria, things like electronic warfare and the potential that we recognize that we\u2019ll have to conduct operations in degraded conditions,\u201d Jerry Leverich, who works in Army\u2019s Training and Doctrine Command directorate of intelligence, said at the symposium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leverich also explained that emerging concepts are bringing forth new ways of thinking about problem sets and new ways of considering how a weapon, including cyber, could impact a large population area or the military. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
