Future of Warfare, Strategy Will Dictate Special Ops Action

The future of warfare will dictate how special operations forces operate, Army Gen. Richard Clarke, the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, said Tuesday. Warfare "is going to be multi-domain, it's going to be partnered. And it's going to be contested in every step," he told the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference in Tampa. "Our goal is to maintain a strategic advantage." Special operators will be in demand even as U.S. strategy moves to a world of near-peer competition with China and Russia, Clarke said.
