The Operational Environment 2024-2034: Large-Scale Combat Operations

The TRADOC G2 is responsible for defining, describing, and delivering the Operational Environment (OE) to the Army. Since the last assessment in 2021, global conditions have evolved significantly, necessitating a reassessment of the OE. The result is The Operational Environment 2024-2034: Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO), which focuses on the conditions and implications of modern LSCO that the U.S. Army will have to face in the next 10 years. The objective is to inform the Army about aspects of LSCO and their impact on operations, thereby supporting Army Senior Leaders’ decision making and the U.S. Army’s planning and execution of training so the Army can successfully execute its contributions to national security objectives.
