Beyond the Network

Modern warfare is defined by speed, disruption, and constant contest across physical, cyber, and electromagnetic domains. This paper examines how the Army Signal Corps is evolving from a traditional support function into an operational force that enables decision dominance under fire. It explores how resilient communications, spectrum management, and Zero Trust principles are critical to sustaining command and control in degraded environments. The discussion highlights why trained, empowered communicators—not just technology—are central to future military success.
