Multi-Domain Operations Overview Mr. Scott Norwood 3
Multi-Domain Operations in the Pacific Admiral Harry Harris, PACOM CDR To me... the Army s got to be able to sink ships, neutralize satellites, shoot down missiles, and deny the enemy the ability to command and control its forces. General Robert Brown, USARPAC CDR The potential of Multi-Domain battle is not measured in years it is now and generated by capabilities, systems, material, partnerships and most importantly our people. 4
Battlefield Framework: AirLand Battle AirLand Battle Operational Framework s Three Spaces Armed Conflict Rear Area Close Area Deep Area Area in which operations are conducted that assist in providing freedom of action and continuity of operations, logistics, and battle command. Primary purposes are to sustain the current close and deep fights and to posture the force for further operations. Area in which offensive or defensive operations are conducted, where forces are in immediate contact with the enemy. Area in which operations are conducted in depth to secure advantages in later engagements, protect the current close fight, and defeat the enemy more rapidly by denying freedom of action and disrupting or destroying the coherence and tempo of its operations. Operations conducted at tactical and operational levels of war. 5
Battlefield Framework: Global Expansion & Compression Operational Strategic Support Area Support Area Tactical Support Area Close Area Cross-CCMD coordination, strategic sea/air LOCs, and the homeland. Directly enables operations in the Close, Deep Maneuver, and Deep Fires Areas Friendly and enemy formations, forces, and systems in imminent physical contact contesting for control of physical space in support of campaign objectives Key Joint Force C2, sustainment, and fires/strike capabilities are located (land or sea-based). Deep Maneuver Area Conventional maneuver (ground or maritime) requires significant support from multi-domain capabilities; commanders must make a concerted effort to break into Deep Fires Area Beyond feasible range of conventional forces; where joint fires, special operations forces (SOF), info and virtual capabilities can be employed Cannot Display Spatially 6

Intelligence COL Jason Chung 10
Evolution of the Operating Environment PAST PRESENT FUTURE U2 UAV Artificial Intelligence Single Domain Joint Interoperability Multi Domain COP Air Space Dominance Contested Environments Positional Disadvantage Our intelligence task remains the same; how we do it has changed. How we access and leverage data to achieve and maintain information dominance is the center of gravity for success in future conflict. 11
The Find and the Fix Five Essential Characteristics of the Multi-Domain Kill Chain D5 Data Ingestion Data Correlation Data Translation Data Visualization Data Dissemination A data AGNOSTIC, SINGLE display of relevant Information to Support Commanders Decision-making and Enhance Situational Awareness (Common Sight Picture) Data Information Knowledge Understanding 12
Mission Command COL Jim Turinetti 13
Mission Command Capabilities Need to Be: 1. Mobile 5. Protected 2. Expeditionary 6. Intuitive 3. Resilient 7. Interoperable 4. Survivable 8. Sustainable Desired Technologies Jam Resistant Transmission Systems Bandwidth Efficient Software Mobile, Light and Adaptable Transmission Systems Integrated Common Operating and Intel Pictures Flexible / Simple Network Management Combat Emerging Cyber Security Threats Required Capabilities: Ability to communicate in an environment where the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum is being challenged C2 Systems should be able to leverage multiple communication paths and options depending on the environment HQ TOC Mission Command systems should be agile and scalable Systems should be able to leverage enterprise or cloud capability but also be functional during disconnected periods Software and Hardware need to integrate across the Army, Joint Force, and collection of unified action partners Should continue to operate in a Position/Navigation/Timing (PNT) denied environment MC systems need the ability to operate over multiple classification levels Spectrum obfuscation and electronic signature reduction Allow Commanders to make rapid decisions 14
Space & Cyber COL Eric Little 15
Space & Cyber Space and Cyber Key Points: Intelligence, Cyber, Electronic Warfare, Space (ICEWS) element of MDTF a game changer MDTF will implement and employ existing strategic capabilities at the tactical and operational levels Space and Cyber domain activities will likely precede kinetic activities Primary challenges to the employment and synchronization of Space and Cyber effects: Authorities Command and Control (C2) and clearance of fires (kinetic and non-kinetic) C2, authorities, and the inability to share information (classification) is a hindrance to responsive nonlethal capabilities/effects; imperative to streamline in order to meet operational commander s timing and tempo Capabilities Need to Be: 1. Responsive 2. Resilient 3. Survivable 4. Redundant 16
Aviation LTC Karl Krievins 17
Aviation Capabilities Need to Be: 1. Precise 2. Responsive 3. Effective 4. Multifunctional Desired Technologies Over-the-horizon capability Long-range precision strike / sensor capabilities Operate in degraded environments Manned unmanned teaming (MUM-T) Runway independent / point launch & recovery Required Capabilities: Ability to detect targets and deliver fires against airborne, surface, & submerged targets Capabilities to locate and engage targets at extended ranges/over the horizon Persistent sensor-to-shooter linkages to deliver responsive fires Work collaboratively with the Joint force, our inter-organizational, & multinational capabilities/systems 18
Sustainment Mr. Dutch Heath 19
Sustainment Our Challenge deploying and sustaining a geographically dispersed conventional force with current technology to enhance endurance (> 7 Days of Supply, DOS) and enhance mobility (100%) using a mostly commercial strategic and operational sustainment system in a contested and potentially Command and Control Denied or Degraded Environment (C2D2E). A contested environment is one in which a geo-political competitor or adversary (or a combination of the two) uses kinetic or non-kinetic capabilities to disrupt, delay, or deny operations of the U.S. or allied governments, agencies, and militaries in any domain and in any operational phase. - USTRANSCOM FDDA V Phase 1 Report August 2015 - Command and Control in a Denied or Degraded Environment (C2D2E) - US Navy, 2012 - Current Force Future Force Basedon BCTs BCTs and MDTF Requires significant Semi-Independent external support (>7 DOS, 100% mobile) High consumption Significantly reduced consumption (e.g. 50% fuel reduction) Joint Capable Joint Integrated Desired Capabilities Commercial partners capable of operating in the future environment Technologies to enable, deploy and sustain the future force Point of Need Delivery (reduce requirement for stockpiles) Enhanced Sustainment Common Operating Picture (COP) Enhanced medical capabilities at BCT level Current Force BCT BCT BCT Future Force BCT MDTF BCT Current Deployment and Sustainment Model GLOC GLOC SLOC Base Sustainment Piles 20 Port Sustainment Piles Requires persistent multi-domain dominance Future Deployment and Sustainment Model SLOC / ALOC Opt Base Operates with temporary domain dominance In-Theater CONUS In-Theater CONUS Army forces conduct expeditionary movement over strategic distances and transition rapidly to cross-domain maneuver of sufficient scale and duration to accomplish operational objectives The capability to enter a theater at just about any point with combat configured, highly mobile, and lethal forces provides Joint Force commanders with options to surprise the enemy and present multiple dilemmas. - U.S. Army Functional Concept for Movement and Maneuver, 2020-2040, Feb 2017-20
