Marines aim to be CJACD2 'fast follower' with Dynamis Series of C2 experiments

• “What we don’t want to do is what we’ve always done in the past: siloed programs, by silo services,” Col. • Arlon Smith, director of Project Dynamis, told Breaking Defense.

Article Summaries:

• The U.S. Marine Corps is launching Project Dynamis, a series of command‑and‑control (C2) experiments designed to make the force a “fast follower” of the Joint Capabilities Architecture Development Cycle 2 (CJACD2). According to Col. Arlon Smith, director of Dynamis, the initiative seeks to break away from the traditional siloed approach that has characterized Marine programs. By integrating services and streamlining C2 capabilities, the Corps aims to accelerate development and deployment of joint‑ready systems, aligning more closely with joint‑force requirements.
