The Army needs more trained armor units for Europe. This one’s getting ready

Thanks for sharing CW5 Jack Cardwell the interesting news that the after a decade of non-linear warfare the military is recognizing that the USA might get into a ground war with a major power with significant armor capability - i.e Russia or China.

"The Army wanted more armor so a former infantry unit is now training with tanks.
Soldiers with Delta Tank Company, 6th Squadron, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division began initial training with upgraded M1A1 tanks at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
“The Abrams is the most lethal land warfare platform, battle-tested in both Desert Storm and Iraq,” Capt. Freddy Mitchell, the Delta commander, said in a Defense Department release. “This tank brings another long-range, direct-fire weapons system to our brigade.”
The goal is to boost the Army’s armor for more rotational deployments to areas such as Eastern Europe, an effort to counter what many top defense officials see as a growing threat from Russian influence in the region.
The addition of the 2nd ABCT will assist the 3rd ID’s 1st ABCT, which has deployed alongside NATO allies in recent years."

we have spent the last several years concentrating on the low intensity conflict in an asymmetric battlespace, now DoD is reviving the air land battle doctrine to face a near peer force in open warfare. Is there more going on internationally that the media is sharing?
