U.S. land power is undergoing intense scrutiny regarding its roles and missions due to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Iran alongside escalating competition in the Indo-Pacific. This strategic reassessment, published on July 14, 2026, by Jerry McGinn, Jason Paul "JP" Gresh, and Alek Jovovic, evaluates the utility of land forces within the broader joint force.
The contemporary global security environment demands a rigorous examination of how these ground capabilities contribute to joint operations. Consequently, the analysis highlights specific characteristics that define both the distinct advantages and inherent limitations of land-based military capabilities. By focusing on these operational parameters, the working paper establishes a framework for understanding how land forces function in modern multi-domain conflicts. Ultimately, the study aims to clarify the relevance of ground forces as decision-makers navigate complex geopolitical friction points across multiple theaters, ensuring that land power remains integrated into future defense planning.
