第十五届“板桥杯”（Bambridge）青年翻译口译竞赛参赛报名表

“板桥杯”青年笔译竞赛原文

21st-Century Combined Arms

Current events show us that the char­acter of combined arms is changing in three primary ways. First, continuing advancements in information and re­lated technologies, particularly in the areas of cyberspace, space, and influence technologies like social media, provide a widening array of capabilities that can be combined to generate advantages. Integrating these information capa­bilities with maneuver and lethal fires to present a dilemma at the right time and place is key to 21st-century com­bined arms. To illustrate the expanding use of technology, consider the near­-realtime view of the unfolding conflict in Ukraine that we have all witnessed through various media. The widespread use of social media to livestream battles was unfathomable 20 or 30 years ago, but today demonstrates the power of using information as a means of exploit­ing tactical events to mobilize public opinion and galvanize will on a national or global scale.

Second, the delivery of combined arms has changed a great deal due to the mature precision-strike regime (MPSR). Integrating this level of pre­cision into combined arms is changing how competitors and enemies approach warfighting. The proliferation of the MPSR places a premium on winning the all-domain reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance fight. The actor who wins this fight can apply combined arms, with the loser suffer­ing the consequences. Furthermore, the actor who best exploits the mas­sive amounts of data generated by the widespread proliferation of sensors gains a tremendous advantage in the recon­naissance and counter-reconnaissance fight. The side which can make sense of the data faster than the other will find and engage targets faster than the other. In this way, the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance fight, and therefore combined arms in the 21st century, presents a “big data” exploita­tion challenge.

The third change we are witnessing is the use of combined arms across the competition continuum. Understand­ing this change requires adopting an expanded concept of combined arms that makes it as applicable below the violence threshold as it is above. We see examples of this at work in places where our competitors create dilemmas against their neighbors who are allied with the United States, and where the competi­tor seeks objectives without triggering a military response from the targeted na­tion, or the United States.

If our frame for understanding 20th-century combined arms involved com­bining supporting arms, organic fires, and maneuver, then our frame for 21st-century combined arms should involve combining supporting arms, organic fires, maneuver, and information. Infor­mation is added as a component of 21st-century combined arms because it under­pins many of the changes underway in broader society, the global security envi­ronment, and in the Marine Corps. The digital transformation of our networked society and Marine Corps is character­ized by hyper-connectivity, mass data storage and computational power, and the fusion and correlation of data to drive outcomes. These information­-based changes introduce vulnerabilities and opportunities that were not possible in previous decades. In response to this new reality the Marine Corps established the information warfighting function to formalize an approach to leveraging the power of information in campaigning, operations, and combined arms. Through combined arms, Marines integrate the functions of information, and associated capabilities, with fires and maneuver to create no-win situations for our com­petitors and enemies.

A key feature of the refined model of 21st-century combined arms is the con­cept of information fires and informa­tion maneuver. An example of information fires is conducting a cyberspace or elec­tromagnetic attack to deceive the enemy or destroy the enemy s critical systems. An example of information maneuver is altering, suppressing, or manipulating electronic, digital, or physical signatures to deceive the enemy, reveal or conceal a capability or movement, or to slow the enemy’s decision making.

The MEU is well trained and equipped to perform 21st-century combined arms. To illustrate how the MEU can perform 21st-century com­bined arms, consider a hypothetical MEU mission to strike and eliminate a high-value individual (HVI) (e.g., key leader, technical expert, financier) within a violent extremist organization (VEO). In this scenario, the MEU cre­ates a combined arms dilemma by using one capability to deny the HVI use of a critical asset, another to track the HVI, and yet another to strike and eliminate the HVI when the individual attempts to access, use, or repair the asset. This technique of “herding” individuals to a specific location to address a problem exposes them to physical harm.

In this example, the MEU--working under the authority of the combatant commander, and in concert with ap­plicable intelligence agencies and the Department of State--is assigned the mission to disrupt a VEO’s online me­dia operations. The VEO’s core lead­ership group is located in a relatively small and geographically isolated area within the MEU’s reach. However, its media operations, to include its pro­paganda and recruitment efforts, are highly sophisticated and effective at projecting an outsized image through a global online presence. This presence has proved effective at increasing the groups support, funding, and influence, and thus represents a growing threat.

For this mission, the MEU receives intelligence on the physical locations of the VEO’s media production stu­dio, primary server, and backup server. These three assets are located in two separate buildings approximately three miles apart. At the designated time, the MEU’s cyber planner coordinated with USCYBERCOM, through the geographic combatant commander, to initiate the pre-planned denial of service attack (a form of information fires) against the VEO’s servers. At the same time, the MEU’s psychological operations detachment delivers tailored messages via cell phone (a form of infor­mation maneuver) to the VEO’s chief of media operations (the HVI). These carefully crafted, pre-approved messages are consistent with the HVI’s language, culture, and current events in the local area. This makes the HVI unsuspecting when notified of the malfunctioning servers.

As the cyber-attack and deceptive messaging occur, MEU reconnaissance teams occupy positions to observe and report on all relevant activity at the two locations. A cascade of rapidly unfold­ing events is triggered when the HVI arrives at the primary site to investigate the server issue. These events begin with the reconnaissance report notifying the MEU commander of the HVI’s arrival. The commander’s decision to strike un­leashes two orbiting F-35’s waiting to deliver ordinance on both locations. The no-win situation created by this scenario is either accepting disrupted media operations or attempting to repair and suffer physical harm and destruc­tion. The strike results in eliminating the HVI, several support personnel, and destroys the buildings housing the stu­dio and both servers.

To compete and fight effectively in the 21st century the Marine Corps must adapt to the evolving security environ­ment by applying a modern approach to 21st-century combined arms. The combined arms approach is how the Marine Corps executes maneuver war­fare. Rapid, flexible, and opportunistic maneuver can only be accomplished by a combined arms force and through a diversity of means that maximizes com­bat power, flexibility, and responsive­ness.
