Army plans to field hybrid-drive tactical vehicles by 2035 and fully electric tactical vehicles by 2050 align with a broader service strategy to slow climate change and transition more fully to renewable energy sources.

But the Army’s top acquisition official says this move will also make soldiers more effective against the enemy.

Speaking Oct. 12 at the Association of the U.S. Army’s Annual Meeting and Exposition, Assistant Army Secretary for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology Doug Bush said future electric vehicles will create the opportunity to integrate directed energy weapons and other cutting-edge tools. That’s due not only to the hybrid electric engine, he said, but also the underlying energy power system that will enable that system.

This is all very commendable but what about combat skills or does our military think they will cow the enemy with all this "commendable" crap?

The enemy troops, that is.

They'll blow up real good and the fire will burn for weeks.  Better than flairs to alert the enemy.
