Well, so much for FD2030. This break down was fantastically helpful! “Old thinking meets new thinking” and the realities thereof in the current battle space in Ukraine. “If you can be seen, you can be hit, if you are hit you will be killed” General Dupuy US Army TRADOC circa 1974/75. Old meets new and let’s put a regiment of Marines in the static defense on small pacific islands where everyone can “see them” give them high tech fire crackers to aim at...who of course would never fire upon the Marines preemptively....after all that wouldn’t fair....etc etc etc.

Looks like the world is rolling back to Great War tech.
Lessons only on ground combat is well and all but if you can't supply those lads on the ground it don't matter how effective they are on paper.
