Army Leaders in Multi-Domain Operations: A Theoretical Approach to a Multi-Domain Operation Mentality SAMS
Abstract
As the U.S. Army solidifies the Multi-Domain Operations concept, it is essential to keep leadership development relevant towards the future operational environment. Near-peer adversaries will continue to compete below the threshold of conflict increasing complexity and uncertainty in multi-domain operations. While it is common to evaluate the Army Leadership Requirements Model, how can the Army leaders build upon core attributes and competencies to thrive in multi-domain operations? The Army Leadership Requirements Model, combined with developing a multi-domain mentality, enables effective leadership in multi-domain operations. The theoretical approach expands on the leadership core competencies and attributes, providing three additional leadership characteristics. The ability to anticipate near-peer actions, leverage available capabilities and people, and persevere through complexity and uncertainty formulate a multi-domain mentality. By implementing a multi-domain mentality through education and training, Army leaders will be effective against near-peer adversaries in multi-domain operations.
