In war you can take good shortcuts that peacetime rules prevent.
It is interesting that this is a lesson from the Winter War of 2022:
For example, peacetime training standards called for months of training before troops were ready to effectively use Patriot Air Defense systems. The Ukrainians did it in weeks.
In my Army basic training during the Cold War, we were informed by our Reserve drill sergeant who served in Vietnam that during war our training would be compressed. Anything not related to physical fitness, tactics, and equipment would be set aside.
And that focused basic training would be done during the day so we could learn our military occupational specialty at night.
Is this how Ukraine is achieving their speedy education?
And did the Army forget what it once knew about accelerated wartime training?
