The U.S. version of all-domain command and control has been taken up by virtually all of our allies, NATO and otherwise, although we use different words. Some refer to “pan-domain” as if that makes it more sovereign and independent.
It reflects the fact that in the current combat situations that we will find ourselves in, air, land, sea, cyber and space will all be intimately entwined. The digital gives us the capacity to combine the information and to advance the control and planning of all of those in all of those domains.
Yes, there is a need for all-domain, pan-domain and joint and combined domain, but it has to be balanced with the individual sovereign needs, sovereign capabilities and legal limits of our various partners.
