US Army North is examining the impact of emerging technologies on homeland defence through to 2040, with implications for how the ground service would project power in the event of a conflict with near-peer competitors such as Russia or China.

The Future of Homeland Defense project grew out of several years of work that informally began during the US government's efforts to address the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, Colonel Mark Lavin, US Army North's director of strategy, plans, and policy, told Janes.

“At the height of the Covid response, US Army North was a major player for integrating the interagency capabilities across the entire nation, and … the commander at the time raised the question of ‘what does a homeland defence type scenario look like'?” Col Lavin said on 10 October at the annual Association of the United States Army (AUSA) 2023 symposium in Washington, DC.
