The US Army is actively observing the drone warfare in Ukraine to adapt its training strategies. Army leaders are incorporating drone footage in basic training to teach soldiers how to effectively hide from aerial surveillance. Secretary Daniel Driscoll highlighted that recruits are filmed from above to analyze their ability to camouflage and use cover effectively. This innovative approach aims to prepare soldiers for modern combat scenarios, emphasizing the reality of constant surveillance on the battlefield and the need for adaptability in military tactics.
What you learn from what's occurring in Ukraine is you cannot move without being seen," Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll said, emphasizing the need to be leaner and better at hiding.
These are for soldiers that have been in for seven weeks, and they are showing them, 'Hey, this is what you look like from the air. You have either done a good job providing top cover and camouflage, or you have not.'
The exercise gives US soldiers a small taste of the battlefield in Ukraine, where troops on both sides are under the constant watchful eye of small, quadcopter drones.
The Army recognizes the seriousness of the drone threat and acknowledges that uncrewed systems are changing warfare, trying to keep pace with the speed of innovation.
