List of Additional Items Tying Richard Maltz to Operations in the Cognitive Domain

1. List of Additional Items Tying me to Operations in the Cognitive Domain
I have been an early and consistent pioneer in the field of Operations in the Cognitive Domain. I have been a vocal propon-
ent since the mid-1980's; and I have been widely published in this area since 1994. In 1995, I was sponsored by the Nation-
al Guard Bureau for a $285,000 research grant from Army Studies Board for a study on cognition, culture, organizational
productivity, and combat effectiveness. My work in this area has received letters of endorsement from: the Office of Chief
of Naval Operations, the Naval Doctrine Command, the Naval Leader Training Unit, the Naval Special Warfare Center, the
Marine Corps Combat Developments Command, the Army Research Institute, the Center for Army Leadership, the Army
Battle Command Battle Labs, many others. This work has been referenced in publications of Naval Doctrine Command,
Air University, and USJFCOM (among others).
Between 2001 and 2006, while working at US Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM), I injected consideration of the Cognit-
ive Domain into Joint Concepts. From 2007 through 2011, I did the same in Joint Doctrine. In 2003, I founded the "Cog-
nitive Domain Cabal", an international network of defense professionals dedicated to the proposition that the Cognitive
Domain is dominant in engagement, conflict, and war. In 2007, I was inducted into JFCOM’s “Black Swan Society”, the
Cognitive Systems Engineering Consortium and the Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making Technical Group of
Human Factors Society. Each of these groups waived their normal requirement of a doctoral degree in view of my work.
In 2008, I was asked to administer the Army War College’s and National Intelligence University’s “Proteus Institute’s”
website dealing with “Cognitive Domain”. I was also appointed USJFCOM’s official liaison for “Key Strategic Issues”, in
which capacity I drafted USJFCOM’s list of “Proposed Study Topics” and “Special Areas of Emphasis” for National Def-
ense University (NDU), Service Schools, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Finally, I assisted the Joint
Futures Laboratory (J-9) and the “National Program for Small Unit Excellence” in establishing their respective programs
for operations in the “Cognitive Domain”.
In 2009, the US State Department’s Strategic Communication Working Group asked me to administer their web site. I also
lectured on a related subject at Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute’s (SSI) annual Strategy Conference, where I
was asked to submit my lecture for publication by SSI as a monograph in their “Advanced Strategic Thought” series. That
year, I edited the Joint “Strategic Communication” Handbook. This initially incorporated many of my writings on the sub-
ject; but these were eventually deemed by reviewers to be too politically sensitive to appear in an unclassified document.
A partial list of my recent published articles on this subject includes:
1. "The Nature and Importance of the Cognitive Domain". Slated, along with other pieces, to be published as an annex to
the "Strategic Communication Handbook” in 2009; it was withdrawn when deemed too sensitive for official publication by
DOD evaluators. It was published in Royal Canadian Military Institute's (RCMI’s) November-December 2009 SITREP
journal. The Naval War College Review has also expressed interest in publishing this piece.
2. “The Epistemology of Strategy”. This lecture was delivered to the Army's Annual Strategy Conference and the
Hampton Roads Militaria Society in 2009. It has been published in the RCMI's May-June 2009 SITREP journal; on the
"Defense in the National Interest" (DNI) website; and in Diplomacy World #111, Fall 2010; and was slated for publication
in the 2010 edition of the Joint Center for Operational Analysis (JCOA) Journal. The Army's Strategic Studies Institute
has slated this for publication in the Proceedings of their Conference, and it has been requested that I expand it into a
monograph for publication in their "Advanced Strategic Thought" series. The Naval War College Review has also
expressed interest in publishing it.
3. “Three Aspects of Structure and Operations Essential for Successful Organizations: Vision, Philosophy, and Learning”
SITREP, Royal Canadian Military Institute, January - February 2007. The Wright Stuff, Air University Press. 3 September
2009. The US Naval Institute has also asked to publish this in their Proceedings magazine.
4. “Shared Situational Understanding” SITREP, Royal Canadian Military Institute, September– October 2007; Military
Review, US Army Command and General Staff College, September– October 2010 (also published in the Military
Intelligence Professional Bulletin, Military Intelligence Corps Association's Vanguard magazine, and the Defense in the
National Interest website. It was slated for publication in the 2010 edition of the Joint Center for Operational Analysis
(JCOA) Journal. The Marine Corps Gazette has also asked to publish this piece.
5. "Massacre in Fallujah: A Lesson on Perception and Cognition in Warfare" Royal Canadian Military Institute’s SITREP,
November – December 2006, and in the Fall 2010 edition of USJFCOM Joint Warfighting Center’s A Common
Perspective. It was slated for publication in the 2010 edition of the Joint Center for Operational Analysis Journal. The
Naval Institute’s Proceedings magazine, and the Marine Corps Gazette have also asked to publish this piece.
6. “The Paradox of Shaping”. Published in the Fall 2010 edition of US Joint Forces Command Joint Warfighting Center
Doctrine and Education Group’s A Common Perspective.
