It is worth taking stock of what has been achieved so far, and ensuring that our direction of travel continues to be understood by the Army. This comprehensive update achieves this purpose well and should be read widely. I wish to highlight four particular points: • Our success in establishing Defence Engagement as a core Defence output. Not only will this enable us to make a crucial contribution to conflict prevention, but it will enhance our contingent capability by developing our understanding. It will also give the Adaptable Force a challenging focus in addition to enduring operations and homeland resilience. • We must be clear that our capacity to influence overseas is founded upon our credibility as a war-fighting Army, capable of projecting force anywhere in the world.

  • Cyber Capabilities and Multi- Domain Operations in Future High-Intensity Warfare in 2030
    Cyber Capabilities and Multi- Domain Operations in Future High-Intensity Warfare in 2030 Franz-Stefan Gady Research Fellow Cyber, Space and Future Conflict Division International Institute for Strategic Studies Alexander Stronell Research Assistant Cyber, Space and Future Conflict Division International Institute for Strategic Studies Abstract: Synchronised kinetic and cyber operations across domains that present ‘multiple dilemmas’ are a fundamental tenet of multi-domain oper- ations. Recent practice and study of the battlespace use of cyber capabilities in conjunction with kinetic operations, however, have shown the difficulties in creating joint effects due to insufficient synchronisation of operations or lack of coordination and control of cyber effects. This paper outlines three requirements needed to conduct integrated cyber and kinetic operations in a future high-intensity conflict involving NATO and a near-peer adversary: firstly, an internet of military things (IoMT) in conjunction with an artifi- cial-intelligence (AI)-enabled command and control (C2) capability for in- tegrated cyber and kinetic operations; secondly, multi-domain formations integrated with cyber commands or their respective organisational equiv- alents for coordinated theatre-wide cyber campaigns; and thirdly, a cyber mission command doctrine based on decentralised decision-making and de- centralised execution to enable an accelerated operational pace. The analysis presents three comparative country studies— the US, UK and Germany— to assess the status of the integration of cyber capabilities into multi-domain warfighting concepts for high-intensity conflict in 2030. It also offers a pre- liminary set of recommendations on technical capabilities, new organisa- tional structures and doctrinal changes required to facilitate the better inte- gration of cyber with kinetic capabilities.
