| Abstract: |
The article discusses the necessity for the U.S. Army to reestablish a field army echelon to effectively command and control multi-corps operations during large-scale combat scenarios. It highlights the Army's shift in focus since 2018 towards large-scale combat operations, particularly in light of threats from Russia and China, which may require coordinated responses involving multiple corps. The current structure, relying on corps or theater armies for this role, is deemed inadequate due to capacity and operational challenges. The proposal advocates for a dedicated field army headquarters to enhance command efficiency, streamline operations, and improve strategic deterrence, ultimately ensuring the Army is better prepared for future conflicts.
