The Marine Corps is set to advance the U.S. military's joint command-and-control capabilities with its potential new initiative, Project Dynamis, aligning with the Department of Defense's Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) vision. Announced by Col. Jason Quinter at the WEST 2024 conference, Project Dynamis aims to interconnect the Marine Corps within a unified network leveraging cutting-edge technologies like AI, cloud computing, and automation. This initiative will modernize outdated equipment and software, enhancing the Corps' communication, networking, and operational capabilities against evolving global threats. Project Dynamis, representing a significant stride in network modernization, seeks to expedite the DoD's goal of seamless sensor-to-shooter connectivity and is poised to join the ranks of the Navy's Project Overmatch, the Army's Project Convergence, and the Air Force's Advanced Battle Management System in transforming military operations for future conflicts. #marinecorps #projectdynamis #jadc2 #modernization #technology #ai #cloudcomputing #militaryinnovation #networkmodernization #futurefight Source- https://lnkd.in/gGkSX9hQ

In a concerning development, China has replaced its People's Liberation Army Strategic Support Force (PLASSF) with the Information Support Force (ISF), highlighting the growing importance of information warfare. This shift comes at a time when the U.S. is downsizing its information warfare capabilities. In a 2022 War on the Rocks article, the author points out that China's "intelligentized warfare" concept aims to use AI to manipulate the will of policymakers, military leaders, and citizens. Again, this comes at a time when the U.S. de-emphasizes information power in resourcing and prioritization. This is a critical wake-up call for the U.S. to prioritize information warfare investment. #China #InformationWarfare #NationalSecurity #greatpowercompetition #geopoliticalrisk #CCP #PLA #strategiccompetition #AI Jake Auchincloss Seth Moulton Michael Waltz Mike Studeman https://lnkd.in/giUgsYfM

It’s interesting to watch and see how different countries are investing in information. In some cases, very little investment can result in effects that are virtually immeasurable. What do you think? Is the U.S. appropriately postured to effectively compete in the information environment? What organization within the United States Government is best postured to effectively engage in the information environment? How can the U.S. best coordinate and synchronize what the Department of Defense calls “operations in the information environment?” Is it time to bring back an organization similar to the United States Information Agency (USIA) or are the current interagency processes sufficient to take the lead in a synchronized approach to drive narratives in the information environment? How does one go about assessing this type of risk? Is it possible to mitigate this risk or just manage it? There are just so many questions! #China #InformationWarfare #NationalSecurity #greatpowercompetition #geopoliticalrisk #CCP #PLA #strategiccompetition #AI #strategiccommunication #influence #usia #miso #psyop #aiml

The US Department of Defense (#DoD) continues to struggle with the adaptation required to meet the era of #global #strategic #competition. Pentagon strategists have clearly explained the imperative,but the Department has yet to realize that both its functionality and form are not up to the task. The DoD’s impediment is twofold: a regionally focused operational organization and a primary focus on the operational military aspects of competition. To maintain US National Security and uphold the US-led international order that enables it, the DoD must rethink how it coordinates, integrates, and executes competition activities. A wealth of documentation already exists on how exceptionally well-suited US Special Operations Forces (SOF) are to integrate and lead a global competition campaign.[ii] However, despite the impressive capabilities of the US SOF Enterprise, it too is largely impeded by the same geographic boundaries as the larger DoD. Furthermore, as most strategic competition occurs in non-military fields of play (diplomatic, economic, informational, legal, financial, etc.), competition is a strategic challenge that cannot be approached by a military structure alone. The proven structure of a Joint Inter-Agency Task Force (#JIATF) is well suited to address the later challenge. The former issue will require an entity with the experience, presence, and perspective to effectively serve as a #transregional #integrator for #strategic #competition.

Stronger than ever, at the #NATOSummit, the Alliance is gearing up for a multi-domain world. 32 leaders of the allied nations came together to propel NATO's transformation and prepare it for a new era of collective defence. The Alliance is resolved to adapt and modernize in the face of a complex security environment, gearing up for a multi-domain world by ensuring high readiness forces across all domains, from land to sea to air to cyberspace. To spearhead this effort within the Alliance, NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) is leading the charge. With a focus on innovation, collaboration, and transformation, #NATO's strategic warfare command is driving crucial advancements that will help NATO remain a formidable force for peace and stability in the years to come.

The Silicon Valley-headquartered Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) released a new solicitation in its search for computer hardware to support forward-deployed forces. The request for proposals is for DIU’s FrontierNode project, which comes at a time when the Department of Defense is looking to boost its command, control, communications, computers and intelligence capabilities. The Pentagon is pursuing a Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJAD2) concept, which aims to better connect networks, data, platforms, sensors and shooters across the U.S. military and partner forces. That effort intends to help commanders make faster and more informed decisions. https://lnkd.in/gyaYfY-b

U. S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) is using a new Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) product to help pass and digest data amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, according to a top officer. The Pentagon’s JADC2 warfighting concept aims to connect sensors and shooters from across the U.S. military under a more unified network to enable faster and more effective decision-making and employment of forces, with the aid of artificial intelligence and other enabling tools. In February, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks announced that the “minimum viable capability” for it “is real and ready now.” https://lnkd.in/e-mz8Rbn
