The 1st Multi-Domain Task Force (1MDTF) is the first new Army unit that will integrate cyberspace, space, land, sea, and air operations into one fighting unit as part of the Transformation of the Army / Aimpoint 2035. The unit was stood up in 2017 at Joint Base Lewis–McChord.[1] The 1MDTF capabilities include anti-access and area denial networks and long range hypersonic missiles.[2]
The Army created MDTFs to respond to Congress' desire to have forces that can oppose near-peer adversaries in Europe and Asia and provide A2/AD "Anti-Access is any action, activity, or capability designed to prevent an advancing military force from entering an operational area."[3]
As of July 2025, the 1MDTF was employing HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems) in live fire exercises at Fort Magsaysay Military Reservation in the Philippines.[4]
