If you're being challenged in all domains, you can do one of two things.

You can invest a whole lot of money so that you dominate all domains into the future like

we have the last 30 years.

But that could become cost prohibitive.

The other way you can create overmatch is to stack those domains in decisive space so that the total, where it's employed, is greater than the sum of the parts.

We don't think you can effectively fight multi-domain operations without a joint all-domain command and control framework

that is, has an engine driver of artificial intelligence

in cloud computing.

Hey, welcome back to the Modern War Institute podcast.

I'm John Amble editorial director at MWI.

And this episode features a conversation I got to have with Lieutenant General Eric Wesley.

He is the deputy commanding general of Army Futures Command as well as the director of the

Futures and Concept Center.

So naturally, we talked a lot about the future of war.

But the discussion focused most closely on multi-domain operations.

This is, as most listeners will know, the way we currently expect to fight in the

future. But I think in part because it is such a new concept, there's a lot of depth to it that

hasn't really been explored yet, but that will and should increasingly inform the way we think

and talk and write about MDO. And I think this episode is a really great starting point to sort of add some of that

greater detail and nuance into the way we conceptualize MDO. Before we get to it, though, as always,

just a couple of notes. First, for those listeners who are already subscribed to the MWI podcast,

thank you so much for anyone who hasn't. You can find us on Apple Podcast, Stitcher, or virtually any podcast app so you don't miss an episode.
