The Urban Resolve 2015 experiment, which ended Oct. 26, focused on how military operations can bring about stability in cities without destroying them.
Dave Ozolek, executive director of the Joint Futures Lab at U.S. Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Va., said Urban Resolve was the most “complex and important” experiment the U.S. military has conducted since Millennium Challenge in 2002. Ozolek briefed the press via a telephone conference call Oct. 27.
The experiment looked at the challenges the U.S. military is likely to encounter in the near future, and cities will be the military, economic and political centers of gravity, Ozolek said. |
