Operational Resilience For 2040

Abstract

The proliferation of advanced capabilities, the increasing complexity of the operational environment, and the enduring nature of surprise in warfare will combine by 2040 to fundamentally change the way the United States projects military power. No longer will it rely on sanctuary, from both distance and technological means, to create an optimized force for an environment it controls. In 2040 the United States will need to be prepared to fight in a complex and contested environment characterized by change, disruptions, and surprise.
