Joint Chiefs Chairman Warns US Military Must Prepare for "Seabed-to-Space" Warfare
General Dan Caine says future conflicts will require American forces to operate across a battlefield stretching from the ocean floor to deep orbit.
The chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, has warned that the American military must prepare to operate and prevail across an expanded battlefield that extends from the ocean floor to deep space, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
Caine said future warfare will demand capabilities spanning traditional domains as well as new frontiers, describing the operational environment as stretching "from the seabed to space," the report said.
The remarks underscore growing concern among U.S. military leaders about the need to adapt strategy and technology to contested domains beyond conventional land, air and sea theaters, including undersea infrastructure and orbital space.
Anadolu Agency did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding the specific context, venue, or date of Caine's remarks, nor additional elaboration on the strategic or budgetary implications of his comments.
As chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Caine serves as the top uniformed military officer in the United States and the principal military adviser to the president and secretary of defense.
