The shift from near-peer to real-peer global military competition is forcing the US Air Force to rethink how it trains, deploys, and ultimately fights—and it will put extreme emphasis on the ability to maintain command, control, and situational awareness in a contested information environment, said Lt. Gen. Mark Kelly, USAF deputy chief of staff for operations, on Wednesday.
“The biggest growth area we have is in the information space,†he said at an AFA Mitchell Institute event in Arlington, Va. “The next [fight] is going to be the most congested and contested in terms of electromagnetic spectrum out there. ...The team that will win is the one that can cut through that exponentiated chaos and get to decision-quality information.â€
