Iran, Hezbollah & Mexican Cartels: Could America's Next War Begin at Home?
out to provide a direction for our Army, a stake in the ground of where you're moving.
And we had a lot of motion, but this really puts down the strategic direction that we're moving out in.
If you take a look at the four elements that are in How the Army Fights, they're already resident in our formations, but it talks about them a different way of All four elements coming together in order for the Army to be the most lethal it can be for the Joint Force and provide the capabilities that only the Army can do at scale for the Joint Force, whether it's convergence, strike, close battle, or endurance.
We're watching and learning.
And from from operations across the globe, whether it's what's going on in Iran or what's going on in Russia, Ukraine, a fight what's going on on our southern border right now with drones being utilized by the cartel.
So we're getting those lessons learned inside of our formation.
What's really important is to understand where it goes in each of our echelons to ensure that our soldiers get the equipment that they need to be the most lethal that they can be on the battlefield.
And to get that to them as fast as possible, this command and control capability is the ability to operate disconnected and then reconnect when you have that capability, but to continue to be able to maneuver, continue to be able to disaggregate and then aggregate when you have to.
It enables our formations to use various methods to connect.
So if one is disrupted, you can go to another way in order to connect.
There's a lot of capabilities in there.
The most important this ability to scale this across all of our formations so we can talk, we can maneuver together, we can converge much faster, we can get strike in much faster, we can get the close battle force in and get them to have the ability to be able to survive in a battlefield that has persistent observation.
Soldier is our number one platform.
It is the Army's platform.
Everything is about enabling our soldier to be the best warfighter that the world has ever seen.
You can't AI yourself out of that.
Once you have the core basics down, all the technology that we give you enables you to be able to do your tasks at a much faster rate and to be more lethal.
The warning of a future fight on American soil comes amid the how the army fights rollout.
The new operational framework places greater emphasis on preparing American forces to deploy.
