“Our forces in the next century must be agile, lethal, readily deployable, and require a minimum of logistical support. We must be able to project our power over long distances, in days or weeks, rather than months”
President G.W. Bush

Strategic Landscape The Irregular Threats
A global radical Islamist insurgency Asymmetric warfare fought by decentralized groups of terrorists Exploitation of failed and failing states—intrastate conflicts
The Traditional Threats Regional powers with conventional and (some) nuclear capability Continued instability created by interstate conflicts
Our challenge in this new century is a difficult one. It’s really to prepare to defend our nation against the unknown, the uncertain and what we have to understand will be the unexpected.
SecDef D. H. Rumsfeld

Security Challenges …
Irregular Non-state and state actors employing
“unconventional” methods to counter stronger state opponents—terrorism, insurgency, etc. (erode our power)
(e.g., terrorism, insurgency, civil war, and emerging concepts like “unrestricted warfare”)
Disruptive Competitors employing technology or
methods that might counter or cancel our current military advantages. (capsize our power)
(e.g., technological – bio, cyber, or space war, ultra miniaturization, directed-energy, other – diplomatic blackmail, cultural or economic war)
Traditional States employing military forces in well-
known forms of military competition and conflict. (challenge our power)
(e.g., conventional air, sea, and land forces, and nuclear forces of established nuclear powers)
Catastrophic Terrorist or rogue state employment of
WMD or methods producing WMD-like effects against American interests. (paralyze our power)
(e.g., attack on homeland, global markets, or key ally that would generate a state of shock and preclude normal behavior)

Distributed Operations
An extension of Maneuver Warfare… an additive capability
The design, planning, and execution of actions exploiting networked units or capabilities that are separated in space and time in order to apply continuous pressure on an enemy to hasten his defeat.
The Marine Corps of the future will continue to fight as a combined-arms, integrated force. Enhancing the ability to operate in a distributed, networked manner; dispersing or aggregating capabilities against both non- traditional and traditional threats, will provide future Joint Force Commanders an additional method with which to threaten the enemy.
We execute Distributed Operations in order to…
“…Appear ambiguous and threatening…operate on axes that offer numerous courses of action, keeping the enemy unclear as to which we will choose.” Warfighting (MCDP 1)
