Common Multi Domain Target Nominator (CMDTN)

摘要

BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: PROVIDE A CAPABILITY TO DETER/DEFEAT AN ADVERSARY'S WILL TO FIGHT USING A COMMON MULTI DOMAIN TARGET NOMINATION APPLICATION SO, THE RIGHT DECISION MAKER CAN CONVERGE MULTI-DOMAINRESOUCES TO COUNTER OR ENGAGE TARGETS! Each Unified Combatant Commander (COCOM) has resources allocated to implement their particular Operation Plan(s) (OPLAN). A shortfall of multi domain resources (air, sea, land, space, cyber or electronic spectrum) could jeopardize OPLAN implementation and/or success. The worst-case scenario for a COCOM or any warfighter is to be blindsided by a hostile act/or potential hostile actor, outside their area of responsibility. The solution is an application (App) for nominating targets (air, sea, land, space, cyber or electronic spectrum) to a COCOM's operation centers so it can converge (coordinate, allocate, and/or engage) multi domain resources to deter/defeat adversaries. TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-1, 6 December 2018, approved for public release, identified these problems~1: 1. How does the Joint Force compete to enable the defeat of an adversary's operations to destabilize the region, deter the escalation of violence, and should violence escalate, enable a rapid transition to armed conflict? 2. How does the Joint Force penetrate enemy anti-access and area denial systems throughout the depth of the Support Areas to enable strategic and operational maneuver? 3. How does the Joint Force dis-integrate enemy anti-access and area denial systems in the Deep Areas to enable operational and tactical maneuver? 4. How does the Joint Force exploit the resulting freedom of maneuver to achieve operational and strategic objectives through the defeat of the enemy in the Close and Deep Maneuvers? 5. How does the Joint Force re-compete to consolidate gains and procedures sustainable outcomes, set conditions for long-tern deterrence, and adapt to the new security environment? In short change "How does" to "The CMDTN will provide the Joint Force the ability to". Does a rapid and continuous integration of all domains allow Joint Forces to maintain an operational decision loop advantage? My answer is no, because the COCOM's operation centers do not have a targeting process to converge multi domain resources aganist targets. The convergence is to have air, sea, land, space, cyber, and electronic spectrum battlespace into a joint multi domain targeting capability among Joint Forces/COCOMs. A Joint Force/COCOM must maintain the operational decision loop advantage. To do this, I am suggesting a convergence concept in the form of a software application. I call this software application (App), the Common Multi Domain Target Nominator (CMDTN), capable of operating on approved military communication devices and nominate potential target(s) or near real-time targets to Joint Force/COCOM's operation center(s).
