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." [3] In 2025, the 2MDTF experimented with 3D printed drones [4] in keeping with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll's push for modernization of acquisition. [5]
