The Marines lightened up the entire corps; and the Army followed more narrowly with the new "agile" mobile brigades. Enemies will chew them up in combat.
I wrote about my concerns about the Marine Force Design 2030 changes, including getting rid of its tanks. And I'm sick that the Army has watched that and thought, "Let's do that, too!"
Ukraine slaughters with suicide drones the Russian troops attacking in civilian vehicles little different from the Infantry Squad Vehicle. But if you use enough adjectives, the vehicles will save American infantry from that threat! Face it, the units will be slaughtered in heavy combat. It’s like the Army adopted Force Design delusions.
Although to be fair, the Army has not abandoned armored brigades.
Still, let's review my thoughts the last time the Army thought its number one mission was getting overseas rather than winning once on the ground there.
