Ukraine: The Revolution in Warfare That the U.S. Army Is Not Prepared For – Part II
The days of division, brigade, and battalion movements are not over, but will be less and less in an environment where any large-scale troop movements are an easy target with very accurate fires as well as constant drone surveillance, and the addition of terrain and obstacles that constrict large scale movement. Any future conflicts in Asia, especially on islands such as Taiwan, will not be conducive to large-scale maneuver. The topography of Taiwan is mountainous and channelizing. Most of the interior avenues of approach are mountainous roads; not open expanses for large scale tank formations. Also, future conflicts will inevitably take place in large megacities; they are unavoidable as centers of gravity. Large scale movements are not possible there.
