The Army’s ability to counter disinformation in the Indo-Pacific theater has been enhanced with the activation of a new unit.

Known as a TIAD, the 1st Theater Information Advantage Detachment was activated on Nov. 7 in a ceremony at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, where it is headquartered. Designed to seize and maintain the information advantage in a multidomain environment, the unit is a direct-reporting unit to the commander of U.S. Army Pacific.

The Army’s ability to project power in the Indo-Pacific is more important than ever, said Gen. Ron Clark, commanding general of U.S. Army Pacific.

Leaders must immerse themselves in understanding the enemy’s use of technology on the battlefield and match it by maintaining a mindset of fast adaptability, I Corps commanding general Lt. Gen. Matthew McFarlane said.

Gen. Ron Clark, commanding general of U.S. Army Pacific, will speak June 27 as part of the Strategic Landpower Dialogue co-hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army and the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Facing growing threats and a resurgent adversary in the Indo-Pacific, reserve forces have a critical role in enabling success and deterrence in the region, a panel of leaders said May 15 during the Association of the U.S. Army’s LANPAC Symposium and Exposition in Honolulu.

In the Indo-Pacific, the U.S. Army and its allies and partners are ramping up efforts to gain positional advantage to deter a resurgent adversary in the region.

“In our theater, it’s about how we focus on gaining positional advantage on key terrain, not just physical terrain but human terrain,” said Gen. Ron Clark, commanding general of U.S. Army Pacific. “Our ability to gain positional advantage gives us convergence at the joint and combined levels of capabilities that focus on deterrence, [or] our ability to be able to prevent war.”

The U.S. military’s transformation efforts start and end with the service member, a panel of leaders said May 13 during a discussion on readiness, lethality and resilience.

“The Army is about people, and we don’t have readiness without people,” said Maj. Gen. Hope Rampy, commanding general of Army Human Resources Command. “You can’t have lethal warfighting capability without a soldier.”

As the Army transforms for the future, land power remains as relevant as ever, the commanding general of U.S. Army Pacific said.

“Today, as we think about our responsibility to prevail, it’s land power that comes to the fore,” Gen. Ron Clark said May 13 in a keynote address during the Association of the U.S. Army’s LANPAC Symposium and Exposition in Honolulu.

The Army is building a sustainment network that gives commanders options across a crucial and challenging region, a panel of experts said May 13 during the Association of the U.S. Army’s LANPAC Symposium and Exposition in Honolulu.
