Command Post Survivability: Insights from the U.S. Army’s Latest Doctrine

In Episode 10 of The Doctrine Decoder, we tackle one of the most pressing challenges faced by the U.S. Army: ensuring Command Post (CP) survivability in the face of modern threats. Drawing from the latest AUSA White Paper and AUSAArticle, this episode explores how the Army is adapting its command structures to counter sophisticated adversary capabilities like cyber-attacks, electronic warfare, and long-range precision fires.

We discuss new CP configurations such as “distributed” and “mobile” posts, which are designed to reduce signature and increase survivability. Topics covered include advanced deception techniques, new CP protection measures, and the use of innovative technologies to maintain secure communications. The episode offers insights into how these adaptations not only enhance resilience but also enable CPs to remain operationally effective in complex, multi-domain environments.

If you’re a defense professional, military enthusiast, or just curious about how the U.S. Army is transforming its approach to command and control, this episode offers a deep dive into the strategies shaping the future of battlefield survivability.
