US Army warns next war could bring threats to American soil
Advances in drones, cyberattacks and long-range weapons are forcing the US Army to rethink its combat strategies amid fears of attacks at home.
The US Army is adapting its combat strategies to anticipate potential threats to American soil from adversaries with advanced military capabilities. As drones, cyberattacks, and long-range weapons become more sophisticated, the Army is developing a new operational framework called "How the Army Fights" to train units to continue fighting even if their bases, supply lines, or communications networks are compromised.
General Christopher Laniév, Vice Chief of Staff and Acting Chief of Staff of the US Army, has warned that facing such an adversary could make it much harder to project and deliver military power to conflict zones. This shift in strategy reflects concerns over potential attacks on military bases, supply chains, and communications networks within the United States, which could disrupt troop movements before they even reach the battlefield.
