Mick’s comments from the The Bookshelf group.

Mark - I have responded in slack to the targeting/pred discussion.

I can go further in DRN but in short the future concept you have proposed already exists and has for a while. Procedures are always developed based upon the character of a conflict and the political interest WRT LOAC.

Conventional and Ghost Fleet scenarios would have many procedural controls reduced. The amount of "humans in the loop" for decision making with joint fires engagements decreases with peer adversaries and with increased intensity a conflict

I think point 5 is very difficult to discuss in this particular forum.

I think if we talk about ahead or behind in cyber war / security we are misunderstanding the domain - which is very, very broad.

A capability match or overmatch with a potential adversary in this domain is not as simple as how many white hats we have in our capability.

The govt has made some big leaps forward over 2016/17 as has The Army in the unclassified network operations training.

Education is the key and I have a positive vibe based on the efforts & resource going into this area.

This is not an add for my show, but for those that haven't listened to my chat with August Cole in 2016 it may be worth a listen:

Sounds great Mitch.
