The '''1st Multi-Domain Task Force''' ('''1MDTF''') is the first US Army [multi-domain operations](/source/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](/source/Transformation_of_the_United_States_Army) / Aimpoint 2035. The unit was stood up in 2017 at [Joint Base Lewis–McChord](/source/Joint_Base_Lewis%E2%80%93McChord).[{{Cite web |date=March 21, 2025 |title=Multi-Domain Task Forces Accelerate Transformation |url=https://www.ausa.org/news/multidomain-task-forces-accelerate-transformation |access-date=June 27, 2025 |website=Association of the United States Army}}] The 1MDTF capabilities include anti-access and area denial networks and long range hypersonic missiles.[{{Cite web |last=Parlato |first=1st Lt.

The Army created MDTFs to respond to Congress' desire to have forces that can oppose near-peer adversaries in Europe and Asia and provide A2/AD "Anti-Access is any action, activity, or capability designed to prevent an advancing military force from entering an operational area."[{{Cite web |last=Staff |first=U.
