From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1st Multi-Domain Task Force (1MDTF) is the first US Army multi-domain operations unit that integrates 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] In 2026, the task force was merged with the 7th Infantry Division to become the 7th Infantry Division (Multi-Domain Command Pacific).[2] The 1MDTF capabilities included anti-access and area denial networks and long range hypersonic missiles.[3]

The Army created MDTFs to respond to Congress' desire to have forces that can oppose near-peer adversaries in Europe and Asia and provide Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) "Anti-Access is any action, activity, or capability designed to prevent an advancing military force from entering an operational area."[4]
As of July 2025, the 1MDTF was employing the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) in live fire exercises at Fort Magsaysay Military Reservation in the Philippines.[5]
