Dense Urban Environments: What Does the Operational Environment Look Like?

Abstract

Division and Corps level organizations will face challenges in future urban environments that are similar to urban operations of the past. The migration of world populations into urban areas increase to government requirements to provide infrastructure and plan the growth of cities for increased populations. The interconnected nature and size of dense urban areas (DUA) will compound the complexity of the urban environment while competing with an adversary. During Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO), Divisions and Corps should consider new models and frameworks to support major combat operations and the transition to stability operations that will reduce the impact on the functioning of a Dense Urban Environment (DUE) or Megacity.
