美防务新闻3月24日讯

美国陆军23日公“陆军白皮书”称，中国是美国“最为持久的战略挑战”，到2040年，中国军事与美国处于同等地位。报道称，陆军目前拥有优势，但会转瞬即逝，必须通过作为实验单元的多域特种部队瞄准未来挑战进行转型，将多域特种实验部队放在与对手的竞争、危机和冲突场景的前沿及中心开展试验。作为几年前成立的首支实验部队，通过参加印太地区军事演习，演练陆军“多域战”作战概念，并不断促进向作战理论演进。美陆军计划设立5个这样的实验单元部队，还包括“全域战”作战概念实验部队。实验将分竞争、危机、冲突三个烈度等级开展，并从作战层次逐步提升到战略战役层次。

Overmatch is fleeting: How the US Army’s multidomain task force will help the military remain dominant

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army’s multidomain task force might have started out as an experimental unit, but a new plan to operationalize it puts the unit front and center in competition, crisis and conflict against adversaries.

The move is detailed in an Army whitepaper released March 23, in which the service acknowledges it must transform now to meet future challenges.

“Although our Army still maintains overmatch, it is fleeting,” the service wrote.

“By 2040, China and Russia will have weaponized all instruments of national power to undermine the collective wills of the United States, Allies and partners, while simultaneously cultivating their own security partnerships. This will lead to an unstructured international environment where the line between conflict and peace is blurred,” the whitepaper added. “As China and Russia continue to modernize their militaries, the Joint Force will find it increasingly difficult to deter their illicit and aggressive actions.”

The Army identifies China as the country that poses the “most enduring strategic challenge” and is likely to reach “military parity” with the U.S. military by 2040.

The first multidomain task force was stood up at Joint Base Lewis-McChord several years ago to participate in Indo-Pacific Command theater exercises to help inform the Army’s Multi-Domain Operations war-fighting concept as it evolves into doctrine.

This unit, which is aligned to U.S. Army Pacific, “represents the first of these units to bring multi-domain capabilities to combatant commanders,” the paper noted. “The MDTF’s All-Domain Operations Center, or ADOC, is currently under construction and will enable 24/7 oversight of adversary contact in all domains.”

The MDTF is expected to be the centerpiece of Project Convergence 2021, an annual campaign of learning that examines how the Army and the joint force will conduct multidomain operations.

The Army has previously discussed plans to add a second MDTF assigned to the Pacific as well as another for Europe, and the service recently unveiled plans to have one located in the Arctic. But the whitepaper makes it clear the Army wants to build five of these units, with one that is “aligned for global response,” the paper stated.

The document also noted the MDTF in the Arctic will be tailored to deal with “multiple threats.”

“MDTFs represent agile development embodied in an organization,” the paper stated. While the conventional force generation mans, trains and equips organizations and then provides them to combatant commanders, “MDTFs break this mold.”
