IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES TO ALIGN U.S. AIR FORCE AND U.S. ARMY MULTI-DOMAIN OPERATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF INTEGRATED DETERRENCE: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DETERRENCE AND MULTI-DOMAIN OPERATIONS

Abstract

The objective of this capstone is to identify readings that can suggest doctrinal changes to better align U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force concepts of multi-domain operations. Currently, there is no joint consensus on how to conceptualize multi-domain operations, nor how they should support the 2022 National Security Strategy. This capstone identifies readings related to two areas of potential alignment between U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force doctrine: Deterrence Theories, and Multi-Domain Operations. It also suggests designating service leads for long-range fires and command and control, and furthering development of common technological standards. Future research could study the readings identified in this capstone to refine and develop multi-domain operations doctrine.Captain, United States Air ForceApproved for public release.
