Part 5/9:
Another area requiring revision is the military’s operational infrastructure. Historical setups, such as large Tactical Operations Centers (TOCs) have become prime targets for adversaries employing drones and missiles. As seen in modern conflicts, smaller, more mobile TOCs allow for greater survivability against attacks. The Air Force’s Agile Combat Employment (ACE) concept emphasizes the necessity of constant movement, minimizing vulnerability to limited assets like missiles.
As command structures evolve, so too must operational security concepts. Traditional communication and logistics must adapt to permit movement and concealment, broadening the scope to cover electromagnetic emissions and even social media vulnerabilities.
