The Army’s professional journals are uniquely important. Through open access, the journals inform the Army, share lessons laterally, provide an outlet for thoughtful dissent, allow us to learn from our past, and make us better communicators. At the institutional level, the Army is modernizing the journals through improved accessibility, incorporation into education programs, and an emphasis on embracing the digital age. But these changes are not enough. Leaders must also underwrite reasonable risk for their subordinates who take up the pen and encourage professional writing that improves our Army, even if they have dissenting opinions.

Army SOF-Space-Cyber Triad: Multidomain Cognizance

The Army SOF-Space-Cyber Triad is a collaboration effort involving the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC), and United States Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER). Over a decade ago, the Triad concept was a feature of the USASOC Silent Quest exercise, which focuses on emerging threats in complex operational environments. Silent Quest is a series of exercises and events, nested with the Army’s Unified Quest and United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Shadow Warrior Project, that tests Army Special Operations concepts.

U.S Tank Gunnery: Historical Ebb and Flow of Proficiency

A gap exists today between the capabilities of tank weapon systems and the ability of crews to employ them to maximum effectiveness. Current tank lethality reflects significant recent improvements to optics, fire control systems, networks, and ammunition. Recent studies show that tank crews struggled with boresight, target detection and identification, machine gun engagements, and target sensing. These issues reflect the culmination of a lapse in tank gunnery spanning years and highlight the linkage between proficiency and broader, Army-wide developments and trends.
