Balancing the Scales: Doctrine, Conventional Forces, and Winning in a Complex World

Abstract

The insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan caused the Army to focus on irregular warfare to the detriment of traditional warfighting skills and abilities. To counteract this trend, the Army developed the doctrine of Unified Land Operations as away to acknowledge the reality of the current operating environment. As the United States re-focuses on traditional and emerging near-peer threats, the doctrine of Unified Land Operations provides the conventional forces of the United States Army the chance to succeed across the range of military operations.
