"Rapid Defeat: Is the US Army's Power a Thing of the Past?"

Modern warfare is shifting towards a static, attritional style due to the dominance of accurate and lethal weapons, particularly in conflicts like the Ukraine war. The future of warfare may involve protective "bubbles" to defend against drones and missiles, hindering rapid battlefield maneuvers. This shift poses challenges for Western armies, as combat becomes more about attrition and resource management rather than seizing territory. Coordinating various defense systems and maintaining a protective bubble requires extensive training and skilled staff work, raising concerns about the West's preparedness for this new mode of warfare.
