Is the US military learning enough from Ukraine?
Relatively few analysts at the services’ doctrine organizations are working full-time to glean lessons from the war.

The U.S. military speaks frequently about the lessons they’re learning from the war in Ukraine.

The Air Force has sought to evaluate the Ukrainian military’s methods for detecting drones, while the Army has revamped training, fielded new drones, and re-evaluated its artillery stockpiles based on observations of the nearly three-year-old hot war there. The Army’s various analytic outlets have produced report after report by officers, intelligence analysts, and academics on the conflict.

But at some of the military’s key centers for studying warfare, the services appear to treat the grinding yet tech-forward war with NATO’s top potential adversary as just one topic among many. Few analysts are tasked to study the war full-time, according to a Defense One review of service staffing.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff Joint Lessons Learned Division, which helps spread findings among the services, has no “working groups or individuals” who focus solely on Ukraine, a spokesman said.

As long as wokeness permeates the military and the Pentagon, there won't be enough learned.

Learning?

This from the nation of combantants like Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq?

We are experts on treasury draining military quagmires.   Russia-Ukraine?  They're pikers.

They are learning that ingenious hobbyists are a threat to the National Industrial Military Complex and all the jobs its provides to former Pentagon officials.
