"Army taps ‘Ghost Fleet’ authors to write novel on multi-domain warfare" https://lnkd.in/e8u3tUDG “Task Force Talon: A Novel of the Army’s Next Fight,” written by “Ghost Fleet” authors August Cole and P.W. Singer, will “share the real-world lessons from Field Manual 3.0, as well as lessons learned from both contemporary conflicts and recent Army exercises and training,” according to an excerpt provided exclusively to session attendees. At the Oct. 16 AUSA panel session, Singer described a “double challenge” that forward-looking organizations face, first to understand and frame new technologies and opportunities, and then to communicate the need to evolve and adapt to their members. “How do you gain and retain attention when so much else is competing for it, whether it’s all the other publications out there, to what’s in their email inbox, to just the scarce resources of time?” Singer said. He described storytelling as “literally the oldest communication technology of all,” capable of engaging the emotions and imagination in a way PowerPoint cannot. Story can also reframe the concept of change to organization members, he said. “Change management programs are more likely to succeed when you’re able to tell the story of why we need to change, tell the story of what success will look like, what we’re headed towards,” Singer said. “Most importantly, you’re able to tell your organization you are characters. You are heroes in this story of change, rather than victims of it.” #Futures #Army #FICINT #Leadership

The use of fiction in imagining the unimaginable could also be useful from the international development perspective.

“If this is the future of warfare, we need to consider it right now because there will come a time when we might not get a vote.” #ArmyMadSci featured LTC Kristine M. Hinds‘ assessment of private sector involvement in future conflicts in “Sixth Domain – Private Sector Involvement in Future Conflicts" last June. While some Army purists have taken exception to the Atlantic Council Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security's use of the term #SixthDomain to describe the private sector’s sphere of activities supporting warfighting, no one disputes the vital role that the private sector has played in providing corroborative intelligence via space imagery, effective cyber security, and resilient Command and Control networks — heretofore the domain of public sector defense services and intelligence communities — in Ukraine’s on-going fight against Russian imperialism. In today’s episode of The #ConvergencePodcast, Army Mad Scientist sat down with LTC Hinds to address #FifthGenerationWarfare, the Sixth Domain, and how we may need to adapt to defend ourselves and our Nation in the evolving #OperationalEnvironment -- check out the highlights from our discussion at: https://lnkd.in/ej-7pNmF #TRADOC #ArmyModernization #AWC #PrivateSector #WarInc

Today’s #ArmyMadSci post is the first in a series from the United States Army War College (#AWC) Team Sullivan’s Travels’ Future Dynamics of Warfare: Everyone is a Player, Everything is a Target Final Report -- excerpting the findings from their group Strategic Research Requirement that occurred over the academic year (from October 2023 to April 2024). The report addresses the following strategic question posed by Ian Sullivan, Deputy Chief of Staff Intelligence, TRADOC G-2: How will innovations from contemporary conflicts likely shape the future dynamics of warfare, and what does it mean for Large Scale Combat Operations (#LSCO) and pacing threats by 2035?

Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW) differs from traditional warfare by its use of both kinetic and non-kinetic means, creating an omnipresent battlefield. Unlike traditional warfare, which relies on direct military engagement, 5GW employs tactics like cyber attacks, misinformation, and economic disruption to achieve strategic goals without conventional combat.
