Army University Press “The Future of War” Resource

Army University Press has created a new web resource, New Extended Battlefield: Future of War. Its main focus is on the current Multi-Domain Battle concept under development by the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps. The site contains links to other sites addressing relevant topics, articles and papers on MDB, and relevant news items and current events.

On the front page, the site links to an article written in 1981 by General Donn A. Starry, one of the prime movers behind the development of the Army’s AirLand Battle doctrine. His notion of the “extended battlefield” remains as relevant today as when he first addressed it.

Its definitely worth checking out.
