The Army activated its fourth Multi-Domain Task Force at Fort Carson, Colorado, on Oct. 8, 2026. The new 4th Multi-Domain Task Force comprises 2,100 soldiers tasked with coordinating cyber warfare, long-range missiles and other capabilities in support of the wider Army, according to Task & Purpose.
Col. Hugh W. A. Jones, the unit’s commander, said at the ceremony: “While we build this formation to deter aggression and preserve peace, if war comes, we must be prepared to fight and win. We owe those in harm’s way every advantage we can give them, while leaving our enemy nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.”
The new formation is expected to be organized into four battalions: a long-range fires battalion armed with High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and hypersonic missiles, a cyber warfare and signal intelligence battalion, an air defense battalion, and a sustainment battalion, the report said.
Like some of the Army’s other similar units, the 4th Multi-Domain Task Force is focused on the Pacific theater, the Army said. The new task force will report to the 7th Infantry Division Multi-Domain Command – Pacific, which the Army calls its “multi-domain operational headquarters.”
The Army began establishing these task forces in 2017 as a pilot to bring together cyber and electronic warfare capabilities, long-range precision missiles and targeting abilities across land, air, space and sea. In July 2026, the Army merged the 1st Multi-Domain Task Force with the 7th Infantry Division, creating the 7th Infantry Division Multi-Domain Command – Pacific, meant as a “covering force” in the Pacific, adding long-range artillery and electromagnetic warfare capabilities to support the infantry.
According to the Army, plans call for creating a fifth multi-domain task force, to be set up by 2028.
