Technology diffusion has extended the Lethal Battlespace throughout the restricted to a defined boundary within the commander's area of operations. For deployed Military Commanders Mission accomplishment is increasingly predicated upon successful force protection. Asymmetrical Threat Strategies that result in American Casualties have proven successful in displacing U.S. presence, as well as degrading regional influence, overcoming these access-challenges is a key element in the full dimensional protection strategy outlined in the Joint Vision.
