00:02.040 --> 00:05.040
For nearly 20 years our army focused

00:05.040 --> 00:07.380
its capabilities enforced designs on

00:07.380 --> 00:09.190
conducting joint and combined

00:09.200 --> 00:11.330
counterinsurgency operations in our

00:11.330 --> 00:14.930
nation's wars we demonstrated our war

00:14.930 --> 00:17.430
fighting abilities but not against a

00:17.430 --> 00:20.410
near pier threat . Meanwhile ,

00:20.420 --> 00:22.770
resurgent powers pursued regional

00:22.770 --> 00:24.860
dominance in competition and armed

00:24.860 --> 00:27.590
conflict expanding their ability to

00:27.590 --> 00:30.510
operate on increasingly complex lethal

00:30.520 --> 00:33.160
hyperactive and urbanized battlefields .

00:33.840 --> 00:36.710
Yeah during this period our adversaries

00:36.710 --> 00:39.610
have studied US operations . They've

00:39.610 --> 00:42.010
adapted to disrupt our global dominance

00:42.010 --> 00:43.954
and separate us from our strategic

00:43.954 --> 00:46.180
partners and allies through the use of

00:46.180 --> 00:49.920
anti access and area denial or A two A .

00:49.920 --> 00:53.690
D . Systems . Mhm . At the same time

00:53.760 --> 00:55.871
the character of warfare continues to

00:55.871 --> 00:57.816
evolve with the rapid and constant

00:57.816 --> 01:01.060
emergence of new technologies . As

01:01.060 --> 01:03.116
these technologies mature and become

01:03.116 --> 01:05.116
weaponized , they have the power to

01:05.116 --> 01:07.060
revolutionize the battlefield like

01:07.060 --> 01:10.640
never before . This has also

01:10.640 --> 01:12.751
caused the traditional battlefield to

01:12.751 --> 01:15.130
expand from the limited areas of deep ,

01:15.140 --> 01:17.970
close and greer to a global battlefield

01:17.980 --> 01:19.924
that is increasingly vulnerable to

01:19.924 --> 01:23.040
military cyber electronic political and

01:23.050 --> 01:26.010
economic attacks . Our army must adapt

01:26.020 --> 01:28.250
to meet the new challenges presented by

01:28.250 --> 01:30.740
multiple layers of standoff enhanced by

01:30.740 --> 01:33.730
global effects of cyber and space . The

01:33.730 --> 01:35.810
concept for the US Army and multi

01:35.810 --> 01:38.810
domain operations . 2028 is the first

01:38.810 --> 01:41.250
step in this evolution ,

01:41.740 --> 01:45.040
conducting multi domain operations

01:45.040 --> 01:48.080
requires three core tenants calibrated

01:48.080 --> 01:51.420
force posture , multi domain formations

01:51.430 --> 01:54.540
and convergence calibrated force

01:54.540 --> 01:56.700
posture is the combination of forward

01:56.700 --> 01:58.970
presence . Forces whether permanent or

01:58.970 --> 02:01.960
rotational expeditionary capacity .

02:01.970 --> 02:05.020
National capabilities and authorities .

02:05.030 --> 02:07.530
Multi domain formations possess the

02:07.530 --> 02:10.170
capacity capability and endurance

02:10.170 --> 02:12.870
necessary to operate across all domains

02:12.870 --> 02:14.940
to pose multiple dilemmas against a

02:14.940 --> 02:17.810
near pier adversary multi domain

02:17.810 --> 02:19.940
formations are able to conduct semi

02:19.940 --> 02:21.890
independent maneuver within the

02:21.890 --> 02:24.260
commander's intent and mission orders .

02:24.640 --> 02:27.530
Finally , all formations at every level

02:27.540 --> 02:30.180
maximize human potential by thinking in

02:30.250 --> 02:32.910
accessing and employing capabilities

02:32.910 --> 02:35.590
from all domains often at echelons

02:35.600 --> 02:39.450
above brigade convergence achieves the

02:39.450 --> 02:41.630
rapid and continuous integration of

02:41.640 --> 02:44.380
capabilities across all domains of time

02:44.380 --> 02:46.980
and space to overmatch the enemy . This

02:46.980 --> 02:49.280
cross domain synergy requires us to

02:49.280 --> 02:51.740
layer all domains to achieve overmatch

02:51.750 --> 02:54.220
in the decisive space . Combining

02:54.220 --> 02:56.350
redundant targeting and kill chains

02:56.360 --> 02:58.540
allows any shooter to leverage any

02:58.540 --> 03:00.818
sensor through any command and control .

03:00.818 --> 03:03.400
Note in near real time convergence

03:03.400 --> 03:05.810
across domains happens today but it

03:05.810 --> 03:08.530
takes days or weeks . Multi domain

03:08.530 --> 03:10.990
operations in the near future requires

03:10.990 --> 03:13.170
convergence to occur in minutes or

03:13.170 --> 03:16.800
seconds . In an era of great

03:16.810 --> 03:19.230
power competition , Our adversaries

03:19.230 --> 03:21.690
seek to achieve their strategic aims by

03:21.690 --> 03:23.960
the use of layered standoff in

03:23.960 --> 03:26.310
competition , The adversary seeks to

03:26.310 --> 03:28.370
separate the U . S . And friendly

03:28.370 --> 03:30.150
states politically . This is

03:30.150 --> 03:32.580
accomplished by employing national and

03:32.580 --> 03:34.790
district level capabilities such as

03:34.790 --> 03:37.210
diplomatic , economic and cyber

03:37.210 --> 03:39.740
intelligence collection , information

03:39.740 --> 03:42.900
warfare , unconventional warfare and

03:42.900 --> 03:45.460
conventional forces which includes

03:45.460 --> 03:47.380
surface to surface missiles and

03:47.380 --> 03:49.970
combined arms ground forces . The

03:49.970 --> 03:52.170
central idea to combat this layered

03:52.170 --> 03:54.680
standoff is the rapid and continuous

03:54.690 --> 03:57.260
integration of the five domains along

03:57.260 --> 03:59.371
with the electromagnetic spectrum and

03:59.371 --> 04:01.320
the information environment as we

04:01.320 --> 04:04.130
compete short of armed conflict with

04:04.140 --> 04:07.580
the enemy . In competition . In the

04:07.580 --> 04:09.750
United States seeks to prove to other

04:09.750 --> 04:11.940
nations that it is a better ally than

04:11.940 --> 04:14.420
its adversaries . It accomplishes this

04:14.420 --> 04:16.198
mission through actions such as

04:16.198 --> 04:18.970
economic aid , military partnerships

04:19.100 --> 04:21.044
and the demonstration of force and

04:21.044 --> 04:23.400
support . Meanwhile , we conduct

04:23.410 --> 04:25.688
operational preparation of the environ ,

04:25.740 --> 04:27.890
such as developing target packets

04:27.900 --> 04:29.990
carrying out emergency deployment

04:29.990 --> 04:31.900
exercises and countering the

04:31.900 --> 04:34.370
adversaries information warfare and

04:34.380 --> 04:36.810
unconventional warfare efforts so that

04:36.810 --> 04:39.050
we can rapidly transition to armed

04:39.060 --> 04:41.760
conflict if necessary . While some of

04:41.760 --> 04:43.482
the adversaries actions in the

04:43.482 --> 04:45.770
competition space can be realized from

04:45.770 --> 04:47.960
a far through the cyberspace domain .

04:48.140 --> 04:50.540
Many military actions can only be

04:50.540 --> 04:52.707
successful where the army is present .

04:52.940 --> 04:55.490
Likewise , realizing an adversary's

04:55.490 --> 04:57.780
action is not useful if there is not a

04:57.780 --> 05:00.290
military force present in theater to

05:00.290 --> 05:03.670
respond . If deterrence through

05:03.670 --> 05:06.290
competition fails , the army rapidly

05:06.290 --> 05:08.780
transitions to armed conflict and

05:08.780 --> 05:10.800
decisively moves to penetrate

05:10.810 --> 05:14.010
disintegrate and exploit the enemies A

05:14.010 --> 05:16.600
to A . D . Systems in order to defeat

05:16.610 --> 05:18.980
fate accompli attacks and return to

05:18.980 --> 05:21.550
competition on favorable terms ,

05:21.740 --> 05:23.518
leveraging the work done during

05:23.518 --> 05:25.570
competition . It penetrates these

05:25.570 --> 05:27.730
systems by neutralizing the enemies

05:27.730 --> 05:30.340
long and mid range systems such as

05:30.340 --> 05:32.840
disabling a navigation and positioning

05:32.840 --> 05:36.390
satellite or directing a kinetic strike

05:36.400 --> 05:40.340
on a communications note . Yeah ,

05:42.140 --> 05:44.307
it accomplishes this while maneuvering

05:44.307 --> 05:46.120
from strategic and operational

05:46.120 --> 05:50.360
distances .

05:50.940 --> 05:53.880
The army disintegrates the enemies A to

05:53.880 --> 05:56.350
a . D . Systems across the battle space

05:56.350 --> 05:58.128
to further defeat their layered

05:58.128 --> 06:01.340
standoff capabilities , prevent them

06:01.340 --> 06:03.284
from reintegrating their remaining

06:03.284 --> 06:06.080
resources and disrupt their freedom of

06:06.090 --> 06:09.890
movement . Convergence also complicates

06:09.890 --> 06:12.110
the enemy's attempts to conceal and

06:12.110 --> 06:14.260
defend its systems by providing the

06:14.270 --> 06:16.840
joint force with redundant options for

06:16.840 --> 06:18.580
simultaneously attacking the

06:18.580 --> 06:21.250
adversaries vulnerabilities across all

06:21.250 --> 06:24.960
domains . It exploits the joint forces

06:24.960 --> 06:26.880
resulting freedom of manoeuvre to

06:26.890 --> 06:29.720
physically virtually and cognitively

06:29.730 --> 06:31.570
isolate the enemy's subordinate

06:31.580 --> 06:34.020
elements and allow friendly forces to

06:34.020 --> 06:36.810
achieve overmatch . The army then

06:36.810 --> 06:38.950
returns to competition for long term

06:38.950 --> 06:40.970
deterrence and an improved security

06:40.970 --> 06:43.026
environment shaped by the success of

06:43.026 --> 06:45.510
the conflict and maintains a strategic

06:45.520 --> 06:49.170
defense . The US

06:49.170 --> 06:52.370
Army in multi domain operations 2028

06:52.380 --> 06:54.570
concept describes the fundamental

06:54.570 --> 06:56.880
changes needed to address the emerging

06:56.890 --> 06:59.500
challenges of the 21st century . This

06:59.500 --> 07:02.190
concept is not the final answer . It

07:02.190 --> 07:04.190
will be refined and updated through

07:04.190 --> 07:06.950
real world operations experimentation

07:06.960 --> 07:09.550
and exercises as well as input from

07:09.560 --> 07:12.160
other services , allies and partners

07:12.170 --> 07:15.420
and even our adversaries . Our army

07:15.420 --> 07:18.160
must continue to adapt and evolve to

07:18.160 --> 07:21.990
ensure it can deter , fight and win

07:21.990 --> 07:25.040
on any battlefield against any foe

07:25.300 --> 07:27.260
now and into the future .

07:35.140 --> 07:35.340
Yeah .
