This is integrated deterrence: taking existing capabilities, as well as building on §new capabilities, which have been deployed in new and networked ways, all tailored to the security landscape of the respective regions, in order to deter the antagonists. These MDTFs increase the 'capability to connect with national assets' in space and cyber, with 'the capacity to penetrate with long range fires, with the ability to integrate all domains'. MDTFs are experimental brigade-sized units which are tailored to the theater they are to operate subordinate to a Theater fires command, or to a corps, or division headquarters, jointly or independently, depending on the mission. Multi-Domain Task Forces ( MDTFs) operate in a combatant commander's theater ( area of responsibility). In 2019, the planning was for Large Scale ground Combat Operations ( LSCO) at echelons above the brigade combat team (meaning division-sized units, or larger). īy 2028, in Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) -as part of the Joint force, Army Strategy is to counter a near-peer adversary which is capable of competition in all domains. The plan was first proposed by the Army's 34th Chief of Staff, Eric Shinseki, in 1999, but was bitterly opposed internally by the Army. It has been the most comprehensive reorganization since World War II and included modular combat brigades, support brigades, and command headquarters, as well as rebalancing the active and reserve components. This effort formally began in 2006 when General Peter Schoomaker (the 35th Army Chief of Staff), was given the support to move the Army from its Cold War divisional orientation to a full-spectrum capability with fully manned, equipped and trained brigades this effort was completed by the end of 2016. The reorganization plan of the United States Army is a current modernization (2017–2028) and reorganization (2006–2016) plan of the United States Army that was implemented (2006–2016) under the direction of Brigade Modernization Command.
