An interesting and educational Army perspective on the ways we should think about and prepare for future warfare. Not sure what he means in the last paragraph or so where he suggests moving past constrictive rules of Joint doctrine toward "interdependent command and control." Is he suggesting there wouldn't be a "supported commander" designated by the JFC? How would we prioritize resources against battlefield effects?

I think IARPA has picked up the reins where DARPA left off in some regards. There are a number of projects that are geared to "seeing into the future". Currently I'm involved with the The Good Judgment Project - Part of IARPA's ACE program - While most of the questions being tasked are geopolitical I can see how this could approach could be used by military analyst in predicting future wars - or at least not get it terrible wrong.

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) invests in high-risk/high-payoff research programs that have the potential to provide our nation with an overwhelming intelligence advantage over future adversaries.

A very interesting read Sir.

"...recent battlefield experience suggests that we have been surprised and bested on the battlefield, not by new weapons, but by enemies who have employed simple technologies creatively."
