New Army unit seeks to disrupt ‘malign influence’ in Indo-Pacific

The 1st Theater Information Advantage Detachment in Hawaii is the first of three such units to activate, with two units planned for Georgia and Germany.

The unusual 65-soldier formation combines military intelligence, psychological operations, electronic warfare, public affairs, civil affairs, information operations and cyber operations into a set of dedicated teams.

The unit’s purpose is to “gain and maintain a strategic advantage through information dominance in the Indo-Pacific region by disrupting malign influence, increasing cooperation with key partners, and promoting regional stability through a shared commitment for a free and open Indo-Pacific,” according to an Army fact sheet. It will be responsible for a region spanning 36 countries across northeast, southeast, south Asia and Oceania.

The Hawaii unit is the first of three Theater Information Advantage Detachments to activate, Capt. Avery Smith II, a member of the 1st detachment’s engagement team, said in a statement. Second TIAD is projected to activate at Fort Gordon, Georgia, in the spring of 2026 and 3rd TIAD will follow at Wiesbaden, Germany, in the fall.

I’m going to say that 6 CCSB is not related to the comments by Comd CJOC in any way.

The multi domain integration being discussed is between the various L1/2s; RCN, CA, RCAF, CAFCYBERCOM, and 3rd Cdn Space Division.

I suspect the actual integration point will be JTF-N and CJOC itself.

Correct. The MDTF thing is basically the US army trying to provide enough capabilities to support a Corps so they need less help from other services. Only the US is that big.

For everybody else, those functions can be disaggregated and pushed to division level support units. Mostly we need to bolster existing units (JSR, 21 EWR, 7 Wg) to deliver a lot of the same functionality.

The only gaps I see are some kind of intelligence regiment that provide a deployable fusion cell to speed up targeting. And maybe an information regiment that can do civil affairs, psyops, information warfare.

Other capabilities like the long range sensing and long range fires are coming.
