美国陆军本周在科罗拉多州卡森堡举行仪式，正式启用一支新的多域作战特遣队。这是该军种近期成立或正在组建的五支特遣队之一。
A new U.S. Army multi-domain task force, one of five recently established or under development by the service, was activated this week with a ceremony at Fort Carson, Colorado.
陆军在一份声明中表示，第四多域作战特遣队将专注于在印太地区协调远程精确火力，“以削弱、扰乱并瓦解对手的能力”，从而为联合部队的其他单位创造优势。该特遣队目前包括四个营，计划扩编至2100名士兵。
The 4th Multi-Domain Task Force will focus on synchronizing long-range precision fires in the Indo-Pacific region “to deny, disrupt and disaggregate adversary capabilities” and create advantages forother units in the joint force, the Army said in a release. The task force includes four battalions and is planned to grow to 2,100 soldiers.
休·W·A·琼斯上校在周四的仪式上接掌了该特遣队的指挥权。他此前曾担任卡森堡第四步兵师第二斯特赖克旅的指挥官，并在去年率领该旅部署至美墨边境。
Col. Hugh W.A. Jones assumed command of the task force during Thursday’s ceremony. He previously commanded the 2nd Stryker Brigade, 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson, leading the brigade when it deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border last year.
琼斯在仪式上表示：“虽然我们正在组建这支部队以威慑侵略、维护和平，但如果战争爆发，我们必须做好战斗并取胜的准备。我们欠那些身处险境的人一切可能的优势，同时要让敌人无处可逃、无处可藏。”该特遣队隶属于华盛顿州刘易斯-麦克霍德联合基地的第七步兵师。
“While we build this formation to deter aggression and preserve peace, if war comes, we must be prepared to fight and win,” Jones said during the ceremony. “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 task force reports to the 7th Infantry Division at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.
今年6月，陆军将刘易斯-麦克霍德基地的第七步兵师与第一多域作战特遣队合并，组建了第七步兵师（多域指挥-太平洋），作为多域作战的作战指挥部。陆军在一份声明中指出，其任务是整合“机动、火力、防空、网络、太空、电子战、情报、无人系统、保障以及指挥与控制，以支持整个太平洋地区的联合部队”。
In June, the Army combined the 7th Infantry Division and the 1st Multi-Domain Task Force at Lewis-McChord into the 7th Infantry Division (Multi-Domain Command-Pacific), which serves as the multi-domain operational headquarters. Its mission is to integrate “maneuver, fires, air defense, cyber, space, electronic warfare, intelligence, unmanned systems, sustainment and command-and -control in support of the joint force across the Pacific,” the Army said in a release.

第七步兵师指挥官伯纳德·哈里宁顿少将出席了在卡森堡举行的启用仪式。
Gen. Bernard Harrington, commander of the 7th Infantry Division, attended the activation ceremony at Fort Carson.
哈里宁顿对这支新多域作战特遣队的士兵们表示：“你们正在推动国家今天所亟需的变革，以应对战争形态的变化，防止冲突爆发，并与盟友及伙伴共同维护一个自由开放的太平洋。”
“You are driving the change our nation demands today, to meet the changing character of war, to prevent conflict, and to maintain a free and open Pacific alongside our allies and partners,” Harrington told soldiers assigned to the new multi-domain task force.
美国陆军表示，成立第七步兵师（多域指挥-太平洋）和第四多域特遣队，是更广泛转型计划的一部分，“旨在日益复杂的全球格局中应对实力相近的对手”。
The establishment of the 7th Infantry Division (Multi-Domain Command-Pacific) and the 4th Multi-Domain Task Force are part of a broader transformation initiative “to counter near-peer adversaries in an increasingly complex global landscape,” the Army said.
根据国会研究服务处的一份报告，该计划要求陆军到2028年组建五个多域特遣队。陆军已于2021年在德国克莱军营基地激活了第二多域特遣队，并于2022年在夏威夷组建了第三支。第五支特遣队计划部署在北卡罗来纳州的布拉格堡。
The initiative includes the service establishing five multi-domain task forces by 2028, according to a Congressional Research Service report. The Army activated the 2nd Multi-Domain Task Force in 2021 at the Clay Kaserne installation in Germany, and stood up the third in Hawaii in 2022. A fifth is planned for Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
陆军称，这些部队的设计目标是能够在陆、海、空、太空、网络和信息等所有作战领域行动，并“为作战指挥官提供多样化且强大的作战选择”。
The units are designed to operate across all domains — land, air, sea, space, cyberspace and information — and “provide combatant commanders with a versatile and potent array of options,” according to the Army.
琼斯周四表示：“在组建这支力量时，我们必须始终牢记，技术的价值只有在训练有素、纪律严明的士兵手中才能得以体现。一名士兵在此解决一个难题，或许就能为远在天涯的美国人带来决定性的胜利。”
“As we build this formation, we must never forget that technology earns its value in the hands of well-trained and disciplined soldiers,” Jones said Thursday. “A soldier who solves a difficult problem here may make the difference for an American fighting far beyond the horizon.”
