Then training, in turn, must adapt to reflect that. Doctrine and force structures moreso.
If we have a more digitally/technological inclined infantry soldier, how much support/specialist pers are needed within the Bn? Can we claw then back to the Bde Div level with the other CS (Eng, Arty, ISR, etc.)?
I feel this argument is had at the onset/conclusion of every conflict where technology shifts greatly.
I remember reading about the Canadian Machine Gun Corps in WWI and the belief it was a separate, distinct combat capability from Infantry. 4 years of having to work closely and intimately within a infantry Bn, it was absorbed and became a new role (along with improved tactics and doctrine).
Makes me wonder how long until the discussion about Pl FPV operators starts taking shape.
