Command and Control in a Denied and Degraded Environment: Preparing for the Next Global Conflict, Today

Abstract

The Armed Forces of the United States must be prepared to fight future battles. The past 20 years of conflict have seen a technologically inferior enemy fight effectively against the United States. When the time comes to battle an enemy of equal or greater technological advantage, the US Armed Forces must adapt and be prepared to fight and win those battles. As new strategies become apparent, the United States must achieve naval integration via EABO and LOCE. To be successful, the USMC must protect its C2 and ISR capabilities in the cloud, and be prepared to continue to function even in a degraded environment. Mission command orders, with an ability to continue to function without cloud access, is the key to winning the future fight. The US Armed Forces can and will win if given the proper training and capability to accomplish its mission.
