Multi-Domain Information Operations and the Brigade Combat Team Lessons from Cyber Blitz 2018

摘要

The Army must embrace IO's integration function to institutionalize the Patriot Brigades success at Cyber Blitz 2018. Cyber Blitz demonstrated that, while new equipment and organizations are necessary to enable BCT multi-domain operations, without the proper doctrine and staff organization, these capabilities will not be used to their full potential. It also showed how an IO officer on the brigade staff can drastically improve the brigades effectiveness. The Army cannot accept piecemeal employment of IRCs and a divide between CEMA and IO. The U.S. military "has no preordained right to victory' and we must relentlessly improve our capabilities to win the multi-domain battles of tomorrow.11.
