"Overmatch" is the Word
From Spacewar comes a new description of our future warfighting strategy:
The military is not interested in fairness when it comes to warfighting, a senior Navy officer said here Tuesday. 'Overmatch' is what we want in the future joint force," Navy Adm. Robert F. Willard, vice chief of naval operations, told attendees at the Defense News Media Group's annual Joint Warfare Conference.
"We're not interested in a fair fight, but rather one in which we, and our coalition partners, dominate every domain across every phase of war."
"Overmatch" is a word coined by the Joint Forces Command's lessons-learned team after major Operation Iraqi Freedom combat operations to describe the advantage the United States and its coalition partners had over the conventional Iraqi armed forces.
