Multi-Domain Operations doctrine still a few years out, says US Army chief

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army has spent several years iterating its war-fighting concept that addresses great power competition and potential conflict with near-peer adversaries across air, land, sea, space and cyberspace. But it’s still several years from transitioning that concept into doctrine, Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville told Defense News in an Oct. 14 interview.
The service has come out with versions of its Multi-Domain Operations concept, often premiering those drafts at the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual conference. This year, the Army is focused on developing the MDO concept to make it a doctrine.
“It’s going to take a couple years to finally get to doctrine,†McConville said. The Army is learning from events like Project Convergence, the multidomain task force unit that has been active in the Pacific for several years trying out concepts, and other campaigns that are informing its development, he added.
