Drones are the new Ammunition and Reconnaissance to the squad level and should be treated as Class V supply- munitions.

Because they are and we need as many drones as we have mortar and artillery shells.

That was the critical and Brilliant insight of @Mushkeji in the Drone problem post.

The next day Hegseth tossed the 2009/2011 regulations and said Group 1 and group 2 Drones are on free rein mass production, and he’s looking at Group 3.

The existing Drone regulations were crippling the American drone industry never mind setting the US Military up to be the laughing stock of the world had we engaged in near peer conflict.

In fact even today Burmese Christian rebels are ahead of us, never mind every other nation on earth. Until Hegseth laid that down yesterday, we had fallen lower than Burmese rebels, and are still muttering about doctrine…

Let’s get the means then we’ll convene the great Council on ways. Ahem.
