Publisher's Synopsis
The U.S. Army does not operate in isolation. Nearly every operation is typically joint, while increasingly we also conduct warfighting with a multinational partnered coalition force by our side. One key challenge when operating with coalition partners is how to integrate relevant information and display a common operational picture to continuously synchronize operations in a changing and possibly degraded environment to ensure unified action partner interoperability.This handbook provides leaders and supporting staff in the operational Army with an overview of how to plan, train, and leverage the capabilities of digital liaison detachments (DLDs) that render a critical capability for mission command liaison and interoperability. Also included are operational insights from Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) assessment teams during exercises Anakonda 16 and Saber Guardian 17. DLDs are assigned or attached to selected theater armies and Army Service component commands. They are employed at theater armies or in support of corps and division echelons. These teams provide an Army Forces (ARFOR) commander with the capability to conduct liaison with subordinate or parallel joint and multinational headquarters within the operational area.
