US Army's Multi-Domain Operations Face Challenges Against Russia, China
The US Army's Unified Land Operations concept, including multi-domain operations, faces challenges in dealing with great power adversaries like Russia and China. The Russian military, preparing for a USA-led aerospace blitzkrieg and electronic warfare, is building its capabilities with these threats in mind.
Multi-domain operations aim to generate 'overmatch' and advantage through integration of operations across various domains. However, these operations rely on brittle assets that may not be available at the start of a conflict with powerful adversaries. The US Army's Unified Land Operations concept seeks to impose multiple dilemmas on the enemy, but this strategy may not be effective against nations like Russia or China.
The Russian military's strategy of active defense is designed to drag the United States into a war of attrition. Historical trends in warfare suggest that great power conflicts are likely to be bloody, costly, and protracted, defined by attrition rather than psychological paralysis. US operational concepts may assume outdated enemy command-and-control processes, which may not hold true for these adversaries.
The next great power war is expected to be brutal and prolonged, with attrition warfare as a defining feature. The US Army's multi-domain operations and Unified Land Operations concept will face significant challenges in dealing with well-prepared and capable adversaries like Russia and China.
