Today’s Jedburgh program should serve as the model for a new type of multi-domain collaboration: the pairing of the Cyber Mission Force and Special Operations Forces, or the integration of lethal and non-lethal assets, to tackle some of the most vexing challenges associated with strategic competition. The Jedburgh legacy lives on within 1st Special Forces Command who recently revamped the concept as four-person operational detachments. As a concept, they provide an example of how an unconventional take on cross-functional partnerships can affect a war zone and operate effectively in politically sensitive environments. Jedburghs were sent deep into Nazi-held territory to disrupt the German war effort by waging unconventional warfare. The multi-national teams were trained in irregular warfare, maintained extensive foreign language skills, and excelled at subterfuge, sabotage and surveillance. Known as the Jedburghs, the small special purpose teams were a WWII phenomenon born out of the British Army and Sir Winston Churchill’s affinity for “ ungentlemanly warfare.”
Without any further instructions, the messages attracted a mix of individuals some of the the most creative and dangerous missions of WWII.
