Pavel Friedman, deputy director of the Russian Institute for Strategic Research and Forecasting, said: "The United States is a country obsessed with controlling the world... Any country that does not want to be a vassal of the United States is seen as a threat. The United States is preparing to fight on two fronts. At the same time, the goals of the United States also include: Venezuela, Iran and some Arab countries, as well as some disobedient European countries.
According to the US "military" website, Ted Martin, commander of the US Army Joint Arms Center, said that in the future, although the United States may break out high-tech wars with Russia, Iran and other countries. Although stealth fighters, drones, artificial intelligence, hypersonic missiles, will be the main force and decisive factor in future wars. However, the next war, decisive will still be a bloody close-quarters battle.
However, in the face of a powerful opponent, does the US military really dare to engage in melee hand-to-hand combat? In any war, it is ultimately up to the army to control the land, and it is useless for warships to hang around and planes to blow up a few times. Ultimately, it was up to tanks, artillery and infantry to capture and control and build defensive lines.
For example, the US aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf and the Black Sea is useless for 100 years, and the aircraft has not arrived at reconnaissance 10,000 times. Unless U.S. infantry can occupy key islands and areas in the Persian Gulf and Black Sea regions. U.S. aircraft carriers and aircraft cannot prevent Russia from taking control of Crimea, nor can they prevent Russian proxies from seizing the Wudong region.
The U.S. military fired hundreds of cruise missiles into Syria, and not even an airfield was destroyed. There is simply no way to stop the Russian and Syrian armies already control about 90 percent of Syria. How weak is the U.S. Army? Even in Afghanistan, feeling seriously undermanned, how can we fight a more powerful opponent?
U.S. Army executives said the U.S. Army will examine the tactics needed for large-scale conventional warfare and pay more attention to developing the weapons, technologies and platforms needed for large-scale mechanized wars between major powers. The future reform and transformation of the US Army is mainly divided into four stages.
First, the U.S. Army will increase its troops from 470,000 to 500,000, allowing more mobile units to be deployed. At the same time, improve the new generation of armored vehicles, high-speed helicopters, artificial intelligence drones, hypersonic missiles and army long-range rocket artillery systems. To increase the superiority of ground warfare against Russia, multi-field operations can be carried out.
Now, less than a tenth of the U.S. Army's 58 brigades are ready for combat. This level of military strength is seriously insufficient in the confrontation between major powers. 4 to 5 brigades of American troops, nothing can be stopped. Even if you can quickly reach the location where the conflict broke out, you can't stop the opposing flood of attacking legions. Therefore, the US military should strengthen its combat readiness and can invest more ground troops at a time for the so-called "area denial".
U.S. Army Chief of Staff Mark Milley said that in future wars, the U.S. military will no longer be able to control absolute air and sea supremacy. Therefore, the U.S. Army must learn to fight without air superiority. More attention should be paid to preparing for a large-scale mechanized war between the major powers. U.S. Army armored units began to take turns to train in large-scale armored warfare at the Fort Owen National Training Center to improve their ability to deal with powerful enemies.
At the same time, it is required that the US Army abandon the unrealistic concept of "zero casualties", dare to fight close combat, and form a breakthrough in the opponent's defense line on the basis of paying a certain price. The U.S. military demands that in 2022, the first major task of the U.S. Army is to ensure combat readiness and ensure that more troops can react quickly at any time to participate in emergency operations overseas. At the same time, all the equipment and personnel needed for remote transportation are also prepared.
At the time of the U.S. army's 470,000 troops, there were about 4 brigades that maintained the ability to deploy at any time, and an additional 30,000 troops were added, also so that they could be quickly deployed overseas. This would give the U.S. Army about 50,000 to 60,000 field troops that could be rapidly deployed overseas.
