U.S. Army Transformation of Land Power in the Indo-Pacific

Abstract

The Army's role in the lndo-Pacific. The Army has launched into full-scale force transformation to allow the United States to dominate in land-based competition, crisis, and conflict in direct support of Defense objectives and Joint all-domain operations. We will contribute to maintaining security and peaceful competition, but if that fails, we need the wherewithal to counter any threat rapidly and decisively and return our Nation to a favorable geostrategic position. What matters in the Indo-Pacific is Joint all-domain operation-including on, from, and through land-the domain where competition is waged directly and armed conflict is finally arbitrated. Redesigned land power in the Indo-Pacific is the foundation of force transformation and, given our operational experience and focus of the last two decades, the Army will need resources and authorities to cement in the minds of our potential adversaries that American land power is retooling to win against major power rivals.
