Supporting multi-domain operations: “Thinking And Living Through MDO”
Moderated by Hawa-Léa Sougouna, director of the Coges conference program, the panel brought together three defense players particularly well placed to tackle the subject of multi-domain operations (MDO) in the USA and NATO, as well as M2MC in France for multi-field, multi-domain: Lieutenant-Colonel Bradley Cooper, Commander of the 194th Support Battalion, US Army, deployed at Camp Humphreys in Pyongtaek, South Korea; and Dr. Michael Shurkin, Non-resident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council; and Colonel Emmanuel Devigne, MDO Division Head at the Center for Command Doctrine and Lessons Learned at the Future Combat Command. Before tackling the issue of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) support, Hawa-Léa Sougouna oriented the discussion towards a betetr understanding of what MDO covers and to what extent this concept is transposable among all NATO allies.
