They configured ways to communicate quickly and rapidly converge windows to take out \u201cenemy\u201d assets and strike precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in the years since the service announced MDO and built its multidomain task forces to work with operational units in theater, units not aligned specifically to those regions are working out how they can execute these multiprong attacks that MDO requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/home.army.mil\/carson\/units-tenants\/4th-infantry-division\/4id\/division-deputy-commanding-officer-maneuver\" target=\"_blank\">Brig. Gen. Eugene \u201cBuddy\u201d Ferris<\/a>, 4th ID deputy commanding general-maneuver, shared some insights from the effort while at the Maneuver Warfighter Conference at Fort Moore, Georgia, in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of the event\u2019s audience was made up of captains, most attending the mandatory captains career course at the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a future concept, but right now it\u2019s just a manual, it\u2019s just an idea,\u201d Ferris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferris first highlighted the real-world demands of practicing the new doctrine,<b> <\/b>pointing to the Russia-Ukraine war as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferris noted intelligence is showing that Russian troops are firing up to 40,000 rounds daily and some days forces on either side are taking up to 1,000 casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThink about that, a battalion plus off the battlefield,\u201d Ferris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But much of the talk about MDO sits at the division and corps level, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSeventy-five percent of my audience right now is captain and below, and you\u2019re like, \u2018What does this matter to me?\u2019\u201d Ferris said. \u201cYou\u2019re the one who\u2019s going to allocate that tool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general pointed to the companies and battalions needing to be at their appointed battlefield location on time and ready to execute their tasks; otherwise, it will hurt their comrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though connecting the unit took a lot of work, Ferris said some of the basic soldier tasks caused the most friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTalking, supplying, resupplying and then coordinating and planning \u2014 that is where we learned we need to keep getting better,\u201d Ferris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the exercise, one of the units, which Ferris did not name, wasn\u2019t at the line of departure \u2014 where units coordinate and begin an attack \u2014 on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another unit had taken out enemy radars and artillery to open a window for the unit to move. But when the timing was off, the unit took 1,000 virtual casualties in the combined live and simulated exercise, Ferris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI can only keep a convergence point open for so long,\u201d Ferris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is part of the adjustment, Ferris said, of the Army\u2019s move from counterinsurgency operations, mostly happening at the company or platoon level, to MDO, which is moving brigades around the battlefield under division and corps support<b>.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019ve got to recognize that you\u2019re part of a bigger fight,\u201d Ferris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the lead up to the August event, 4th ID had to align their communications equipment and practices with Air Force, Army Guard and Marine Reserve units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That effort alone required a lot of troubleshooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow do you talk to the Air Force? How do you talk to a Marine Reserve unit, never mind an Army Reserve unit; you think an Army Reserve unit has stuff that\u2019s old, wait until you see the Marines,\u201d Ferris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once they\u2019re connected, Ferris said the subordinate units still set up their command posts like they would for a counterinsurgency operation where there wasn\u2019t an aerial threat or enemy sensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn our efforts to shrink a command post, we have forgotten the function of a command post,\u201d Ferris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He saw well-developed brigade and division command posts, slimmed down with less personnel and gear, hiding effectively and running missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the battalions often simply set up four to five company command posts as they traditionally would, which makes those posts easy targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will tell you the whole team learned and we learned a lot,\u201d Ferris said. \u201cDid we get everything right? No. But I think the more we push the system and accept the fact that we may fail, we will get better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Army adjusts to a new way of
