Zitat:Living with the Imbalance Between Fires and Protection
Only experimentation, practical experience, and a willingness to challenge assumptions derived from previous paradigms can answer these questions. However, fires’ current dominance will likely lead to the following trends.
First, militaries will continue to embrace special operations forces, advisory brigades, and the use of partisans because of their ability to maintain low signatures, rely on smaller logistical footprints, and punch above their weight. Furthermore, they provide useful forward observation for strategic fires while they liaise with allies and partners.
Second, conventional forces will become more capable of independent operations at lower echelons. Brigades and battalions will contain more organic combat support capabilities and possess the ability to disaggregate into smaller, independently survivable units.
Third, historically significant formations like corps and divisions may again fall into disuse or adopt different roles than those performed in maneuver-centric warfare eras.
Fourth, artillery, air defense, signal, and reconnaissance forces will grow as a proportion of ground forces at the expense of maneuver assets. Instead of the United States rushing armored divisions overseas like the Cold War–era REFORGER exercises, initial expeditionary deployments will likely consist of more long-range artillery, reconnaissance, air defense, and support units necessary to achieve fire superiority and deter aggression.
