Podcast 2: Relating Gray Zone Conflict & Multi-Domain Operations
Welcome to OTH’s second podcast! For this episode, we’ve brought together a group of experts to discuss two topics that have consumed Defense policy and academic conversations over the last few years: Multi-Domain Operations and Gray Zone Conflict. While these two concepts are discussed endlessly within Defense circles, the conversations have been fairly stove-piped. There’s a need to think about how multi-domain and gray zone concepts relate to each other. What parallels and touchpoints exist between the two? How should we think about multi-domain operations in a gray zone context and vice versa? What does the multi-domain operational concept do for competing in the gray zone? Our group of experts with experience that stretches from battlefields to strategy development groups and the halls of academia engage these questions and more.
