oriented around separate ,armed ,forces2 7,d7 antiquated approaches to persistent1 trans-regional1 cross-functional1 and multi-domain threats that cannot be addressed through discrete and isolated operational plans based on a clear commencement of hostilities leading to combat operations2 and 7,e7 misaligned priorities that result in unified combatant commands being overly focused on mission
