New Technologies make wars of the future more deadly to soldiers - the US Army

The US military at the doctrinal level is revising the attitude to the maneuverable war. They emphasize the possibilities of UAV in terms of strengthening on the battlefield of rocket systems and artillery, which play a huge role in the position war. The US Army will have to review its traditional approach to maneuver war with the advent of new weapons and military technologies that will make future wars "more deadly".

In the new report of the US Army Training and Doctrine (Tradoc), special attention is paid to "large -scale combat operations" such as World War II, which are fundamentally different from the conflicts that the US army has encountered in recent decades. The document states that this shift is due to the increasing importance of artillery fire, rockets and other means of fire, including drone. These weapons will become the "center of gravity, making protection priority, and maneuvering complex.

" It is noted that the US Army has long focused on a maneuver war, during which lightning attacks are used to disorient and destroy enemy formations. However, the new reality requires more attention to a positional war, where artillery fire plays an important role in the displacement of the enemy. Commenting on the document, Defense One gave the words of the head of the command of prospective development of General James Rayini's army. "When you maneuver, it will be due to the fire.

The report states that the spread of drones and sensors will allow the enemy to impress US troops with greater accuracy. These technologies transform goals and make a long -range fire more deadly. In this case, logistics nodes and command posts also become vulnerable and require placement in more secure places. For example, the Ukrainian military notes that any troops in the open terrain regularly strike, reflecting the realities of the modern war, where movement becomes very risky.

In this way, such fighting will last for a long time, and the United States will need the opportunities of the First World War for ammunition and a set of soldiers. "The rapid annihilation in the initial stages of the war is unlikely in a large -scale conflict with an equal enemy, which operates on its periphery," the document reads. Answering Defense One, Tradoc's Chief Intelligence Officer Ien Sullivan said that Russia is one example of conceptual changes in the army.

"Russia is gaining combat experience and proves that it is simply to overwhelm the enemy is a potentially correct military option. In fact, they have been able to replace the army on the fly and will not disappear anywhere, posing a threat," he emphasized. According to him, China also receives lessons from the war in Ukraine, developing more short -range air defense products to protect against drones and improves tactical medicine.
