However character of warfare changes, And changed quickly. The adversary's adopted, did nor fight US Force on Force and US got entangled in long drawn affairs like Iraq and Afganistan. US Armed forces coined LICO, Asymmetric Warfare, SASO, OOTW followed by 4GW, long was, small war, Hybrid war, Grey area war and now multi domain battle. Two Colonels of PLA wrote on Unrestricted war.

In a recent AUSA Conference US Army has published their draft concept of operations, US Army Chief is taking some drastic stepdn for readiness, acquisition and their communication networks.
It will be interesting to see what our all talk no action fauz does.
"Today's operational environment presents threats to the Army and joint force that are significantly more dangerous in terms of capability and magnitude than those we faced in Iraq and Afghanistan. Major regional powers like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are actively seeking to gain strategic positional advantage. These nations, and other adversaries, are fielding capabilities to deny long-held U.S. freedom of action in the air, land, maritime, space, and cyberspace domains and reduce U.S. influence in critical areas of the world."
"In some contexts they already have overmatch or parity, a challenge the joint force has not faced in twenty-five years."
The Field Manual describes the conduct of operations in the new environment, with notably new material on the cyber and space domains.
"Threat operations [by adversaries] in cyberspace are often less encumbered by treaty, law, and policy restrictions than those imposed on U.S. forces, which may allow adversaries or enemies an initial advantage,"
the manual states.
The unclassified field manual was released along with two supporting volumes:
Last week, Secretary of Defense James Mattis issued a memorandum to all military personnel and DoD employees warning against leaks of classified or otherwise restricted defense information.
"It is a violation of our oath to divulge, in any fashion, non-public DoD information, classified or unclassified, to anyone without the required security clearance as well as a specific need to know in performance of their duties," he wrote. A copy of the memo was obtained by
Military Times. (A security clearance is not required for unclassified information.)
