0:05 In today’s complex and dynamic environment,
0:08 where pervasive information allows a much
0:10 broader audience to judge our actions,
0:13 we must evolve our approach to the
0:15 planning and executions of operations.
0:17 Until now, the successful application of force was guided
0:22 by two tenets of doctrine:
0:24 mission command and the manoeuvrist approach.
0:28 The sixth edition of UK Defence Doctrine introduces
0:32 integrated action as a third tenet
0:34 and explains its importance for commanders.
0:37 Integrated action can be described as
0:39 the audience-centric orchestration of military activities,
0:43 across all operational domains,
0:45 synchronised with non-military activities
0:47 to influence the attitude and behaviour
0:50 of selected audiences
0:52 necessary to achieve successful outcomes.
0:55 Integrated action recognises that
0:57 people are at the heart of competition.
1:00 It is our decisions and behaviours that determine
1:03 how competition is conducted and resolved.
1:07 When orchestrating integrated action:
1:10 Commanders need to be clear about the outcome they seek;
1:13 study the audiences relevant to achieving the identified outcome; and
1:19 analyse the effects that they wish to create on those target audiences.
1:25 This should take place before determining
1:16 the mix of activities and capabilities required
1:29 from across all five operational domains
1:31 to create physical, cognitive and virtual effects.
1:36 Understanding the audience is the major consideration
1:39 of integrated action.
1:41 By improving our ability to understand,
1:43 decide and generate options across several domains,
1:47 and act with greater precision,
1:48 multi-domain integration will improve our ability
1:51 to conduct integrated action and thereby
1:54 achieve successful outcomes.
