The Marine Corps and Future War in the Cognitive Domain: A Concept for the Future of Combined Arms

Abstract

"Marines must understand that controlling physical terrain is no longer a sufficient condition for battlefield success." An opportunity therefore exists for the Marine Corps to remain successful and relevant - to understand and incorporate operations within the cognitive domain to achieve the concepts set forth in the Marine Corps Operational Concept. Understanding Operations in the Information Environment (OIE) offers the Marine Corps an opportunity to exploit existing means and emerging technology against the most basic element of conflict - human will. The MOC calls for a "broader concept of combined arms/information warfare;" this is the inclusion of indirect fire - direct fire - cognitive effects.
