And in so doing, they will establish a framework more appropriate to developing, and
executing 21st century concepts of operations.

As Admiral Conn put the challenge:

I think it important to emphasize that adversary A2AD capabilities pose a serious threat not only
to Navy, but to our entire Joint ability to fight and win.

I think of A2AD as the proliferation of precision for potential adversaries and how this prolifera-
tion of precision effects joint forces ability to maneuver where we need to be and when we need to
be there.

For me, it is about expanding the battlespace and training with regard to how to do this.

Training for an expanded battlespace means that the extensive ranges at Fallon are not enough to
train to prevail in the evolving battlespace.

This is why the Navy is spearheading a broad effort to expand the envelope of training to com-
bine live training with what is called Live Virtual Constructive training. What is entailed is
folding in red and blue assets to shaping an evolving strike integration training process.
