If you need about two hours of time to fill this weekend,
then I would encourage you to take a look at a video from this past week’s AUSA 2016 conference.
Specifically, the Army rolled out their new warfighting approach — multi-domain
battle. Rather than give you a weekend reading, instead, here is a weekend
watching. It is long — about 2 hours. Most of those two hours are consumed by
each of the service and coalition representatives giving their impression of
multi-domain matters. If you do not have two hours to spare, at least watch the
Marine Corps Commandant, General Neller’s comments. I think he nails it in
terms of recognizing how our frame of reference viewing warfare has to change
to adapt to current and potential challenges. He captures the essence of future
fight challenges saying “We have not had to fight to get to the fight” (about
1:14 into discussion).
In other words, there is a real risk in our defense force
having been conditioned to fight against a foe who is resilient, yet minimally
equipped and trained. We have been fighting an adversary trained an equipped
with rudimentary doctrine and materiel. Were we to face a more seriously
trained and equipped adversary, like that of a state competitor, we would be
facing an altogether different military challenge. Consequently, our paradigm
of thinking about waging warfare must shift from anecdotal frames of reference
from Iraq and Afghanistan to forcible entry operations of 1940s and 1950s. That
is an entirely different contextual experience than our force is accustomed to.

In addition to the AUSA panel discussion, I
would encourage spending some time this weekend thinking about the following
scene setting contexts. Maybe next week I will share a lengthy reading of some
historical context. Napoleon’s failed invasion of Russia. It is a useful case
study to look at how a focus on one way of warfare overlooks environmental
considerations, specifically the human factor. Sometimes the enemy does not
fight the way we want or expect. And, the popular motivations are not as
nominal as one might initially think them to be. Anyway, enjoy the weekend.
