‘If you can be seen, you can be killed’: Drone warfare forces broad rethink of training, Army leaders say
By JOHN VANDIVER STARS AND STRIPES •

The war in Ukraine has shown that the way tank formations maneuver needs to be rethought, 1st Armored Division commander Maj. Gen. Curtis Taylor said. (Juana M. Nesbitt/U.S. Army) WIESBADEN, Germany — A recent robotic assault by Ukraine on Russian positions north of Kharkiv marked a watershed moment for how ground combat forces must prepare for war, a top U.S. general said this week. The attack saw 50 Ukrainian unmanned ground vehicles and aerial drones seize initial positions.

It pushed the Russians back and paved the way for Ukrainian troops to hold the territory. “I think that battle right there indicates that the time to reimagine armor has begun, and we have got to think about what armor will look like in the future,” 1st Armored Division commander Maj. Gen. Curtis Taylor said Thursday.

For tank units, that means thinking about protecting formations with a layered defense, similar to the way a naval aircraft carrier group maneuvers at sea. “We need to think of a combined arms battalion more like a carrier strike group that has embedded countermeasures,” Taylor said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Guess the general is developing technology to make soldiers and transportation vehicles invisible.

He needs to contact Diana Prince on how she did it with her plane.  Or maybe the Klingons
