This introduces TRADOC G2’s OE conditions in LSCO. Download the full paper from the TRADOC G2 website.
The paper describes twelve Key Conditions likely present in future Large-Scale Combat Operations. This focusses on Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Both China and Russia view WMD as an outsized asymmetric advantage to help overcome perceived weaknesses.
Despite signing multiple agreements, China continues to expand and develop nuclear capabilities and military applications of biotechnology and pharmaceutical agents.
Russia continues to leverage the threat of its massive nuclear stockpile and has used chemicals against Ukrainian troops.
LSCO conflicts are likely to involve chemical weapons on the battlefield, and the threat of biological and nuclear weapons use will probably rise.
