The Indo-Pacific Region: Complex Challenges and Training Solutions

Tradoc G2, the intelligence branch of the US Army Training and Doctrine Command, plays a vital role in supporting the Army’s preparations for warfare. They develop, describe, and deliver the Operational Environment (OE) that underpins these preparations, ensuring soldiers are equipped to fight and win in any conflict.

Rising Tensions in the Indo-Pacific

The Indo-Pacific region is a focal point of growing tension. Competition with potential adversaries is reshaping the very nature of conflict. These adversaries come in various forms: non-state actors unconstrained by borders, regional actors adept at using proxies, and a pacing threat that is rapidly developing its military capabilities.

A Unified Response

To counter this aggression, the US has formed a united front with its partners. The goal is to deter aggression, prepare for any contingency, and ultimately defeat those who threaten a free and open Indo-Pacific region.

The US Army: Training for Joint Operations

The US Army trains to fight as part of a Joint Force, prepared to shape the operational environment, counter aggression, prevail in combat, and consolidate gains. Date World is a training environment designed to address these needs.
