The concept is rooted in multi-domain operations, or MDO, which synchronizes effects across land, air, cyber and electromagnetic domains. During Raider Density, Soldiers…

The main charge can defeat up to 700mm of…
President Donald Trump signed a new counterterrorism strategy Wednesday that includes domestic left-wing groups like antifa and drug cartels in its definition of terrorist organizations. The strategy follows moves earlier this year to designate several Latin American cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, allowing the administration to implement financial sanctions on them and levy criminal penalties for material support. The inclusion of drug cartels in U.S. antiterror strategy complements the administration’s more militarized U.S. posture in Latin America, which has relied heavily on the methods pioneered in the Middle East during the War on Terror.
