Which recent topic has been added to the ARSOF CCC curriculum?

The inclusion of cyber operations and information warfare in the ARSOF Captains’ Career Course curriculum reflects the evolving nature of modern conflict. As military operations increasingly intersect with cyberspace, understanding how to navigate and leverage information technology becomes critical for effective leadership and strategy formulation within Special Operations Forces. This addition recognizes the importance of integrating cyber capabilities and awareness into the overall operational planning and execution processes.

The other topics, such as historical operations, traditional warfare strategies, and counterinsurgency tactics, while fundamental, have been part of military education for a significant time. They provide a strong foundation in military history and conventional strategies, but do not address the contemporary challenges posed by cyberspace and information dominance as directly as the inclusion of cyber operations and information warfare does. This shift in focus emphasizes the necessity for ARSOF leaders to be well-versed in current and emerging threats and opportunities in the information environment.
