U.S. Army War College Paper: Preparation for Megacity Operations

The United States US Army Chief of Staff Studies Group has identified the megacity as a future challenge to the security environment.

The US Army must think and learn through leveraging partnerships, which enhance institutional understanding. Historical experiences and lessons learned should assist in refining concepts and capabilities needed for the megacity.
