Take a look at the steps militaries can take to better adapt to the multidimensional landscape of conflict! Through building a menu of options, matching effects to targets, designing the convergence window, synchronizing with maneuver and fires, and codifying in plans and authorities, states can become better equipped to navigate the evolving character of war.
