When the Army launches a final version of its Multi-Domain Operations doctrine by year’s end, it will be partly informed by the fighting in Ukraine, a senior officer said.
“We say lessons learned a lot, but we’re observing those lessons right now,” Gen. Paul Funk, commander of the Army Training and Doctrine Command, said at a recent breakfast event hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army as part of its Coffee Series.
“We’ve got the entire Center for Army Lessons Learned over there [in Europe] to capture these observations so that we can come back, check our doctrine, make sure it’s up to speed,” said Funk, who expects the doctrine to be released “sometime before the end of the calendar year.”
In addition to learning from Ukrainian forces’ fight against the Russians, Funk said training future leaders in multidomain operations doctrine will take place in the Army’s schoolhouses, but not before soldiers master the basics.
