The JADO concept aims to outmaneuver a peer adversary by converging effects across multiple domains. Which phrase best describes this approach?

The main idea being tested is the ability to win by coordinating and synchronizing effects across air, land, sea, space, and cyber so they reinforce each other. When you converge actions in multiple domains, you create a combined effect that’s greater than the sum of separate operations. For example, disrupting an adversary’s command-and-control through cyber can open opportunities for air and sea operations, while space-based reconnaissance and timing enable ground forces to exploit gaps faster than the enemy can respond. This cross-domain integration exploits the opponent’s vulnerabilities in one domain by leveraging strengths in others, forcing them to defend everywhere at once. Choosing dominance in a single domain misses that integrated approach. Focusing only on cyber, space, or land- or sea-centric efforts fails to produce the layered pressure and tempo that come from synchronized actions across all domains. The converged, multi-domain framing is what enables outmaneuvering a capable peer by creating dilemmas and cascading effects that are hard to counter.
