Description
Summary:The shift toward a training and doctrinal focus on future high-intensity wars and peer-on-peer combat is apparent in all branches of the US military. In the US Army, this shift has revealed a capabilities shortfall in the areas of fires and unmanned systems compared to those of peer threats such as Russia and China. Additionally, gaps and unknowns in developed doctrine--from the strategic level to company tactics, techniques, and procedures--leave us potentially vulnerable, as units and leaders are accustomed to operating in low-intensity counterinsurgency conflicts. Here, Fries and White discuss how the Army can adapt to the future large-scale combat operations battlefield.
