Mission Critical: Integration as a Warfighting Concept
Published June 10, 2026
Winning the next war will have less to do with which side has bigger ships and faster missiles, and more to do with how quickly military systems can connect, communicate, and operate together.
In this episode of Mission Critical, host Ryan Robertson breaks down “integration” as a warfighting concept, and how it could become America’s next strategic advantage. The goal of integration is straightforward: allow warfighters in any domain to bring the might of the US armed forces to bear in an efficient, lethal, and cost-effective manner.
