Major changes to the Army’s doctrine, equipment and operations have arrived in upgraded gear, future-focused technology and new ways to do battle.
But where these elements converge is in units filled with soldiers. And the Army isn’t letting its soldiers sit around and wait for new gear before figuring out how to fight a peer threat in large scale combat. They’re making major shifts in how big formations contribute while also tinkering with the look, function and capabilities of smaller, subordinate units.

Pretty comprehensive Army transformation, SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL! Our Army and other Military services will need near term and periodic transformation and training to keep us up to par and beyond to protect our Nation... If Russia decides to let loose a nuclear device, missile or tactical, we will be in the throws of WWIII and we need to be prepared at all times... Excellent post, Joe!

So the Army once again realized that a whole bunch of the World has real armies with tanks, aircraft and artillery.
I watched the Army switch for the Cold War Army of Combined Arms to the belief that future conflicts would be small scale actions short of war, then the first conflict that comes along is the Gulf War, a stand-up conventional war. Then we spend 30 years fighting in Third World shitholes that have little artillery, no air support and no heavy armor and forgot that the rest of the world isn't the same. Now we are trying to play catch up again.
