Partnerships are key to defending against a rapidly evolving threat landscape and assuring the United States’ advantage for the long term, senior Defense Department leaders said this week.
The commanders of U.S. Northern Command, U.S. Cyber Command, U.S. Space Command and U.S. Transportation Command detailed a complex range of threats posed by U.S. adversaries as a part of a panel discussion during the Air, Space & Cyber Conference hosted by the Air & Space Forces Association just outside of Washington.
“What we face today is a variety of threats in all domains, from multiple adversaries and from all avenues of approach,” said Northcom commander Air Force Gen. Gregory M. Guillot.
That multifaceted threat environment, he said, has evolved significantly in recent years, and stands in stark contrast to one where Northcom was primarily concerned with air threats posed by the Soviet Union.
“And these threats can threaten us from much further away than even just a couple of years ago,” Guillot added, noting the persistent and rapidly growing adversarial capabilities in the space and cyber domains.
