Abstract
Multi-Domain Operations is an emerging military construct that seeks to leverage and connect current and future capabilities across all warfighting domains to create better operational effects than can be attained using contemporary joint, network-centric warfighting doctrine.
MDO presents formidable fiscal, technological, doctrinal, and educational challenges for any military force that seeks to adopt it. Among Danish allies, the US with its vastly superior resources is taking the lead in developing and operationalizing MDO. Others including the United Kingdom, France and NATO are beginning to develop their own approaches. However, these efforts to translate MDO as a set of theoretical, optimal capabilities and goals into doctrine and forces on the ground are largely still in their formative stages.
