I recommend reading Seven Seconds to Die. It’s a decent precursor to this iteration of Ukraine/Russia. DOD has recognized Ukraine is a canary for where mil med is at (re: LSCO and prolonged field care/protracted patient care) currently and how we’ve been spoiled by GWOT and the ability to shape an operational environment to our wants and needs. Drones have further complicated this but I’d make the argument they’re the result of the necessities of this war as IEDs were a product of GWOT. Unfortunately, Pandora’s box is open now. The US is formally behind in drone development (find the tank immediate action drills and the recent UAS pub) for the most part because we still view them as serialized gear vs disposable munitions amongst other reasons. I can’t speak on DIME; yes, we are observing and learning from Ukraine (and Gaza… austere medical care) but I don’t think your hypothesis is the case. Is it a potential bonus? Possibly. All of this is meant as respectful discourse.
A, but GitHub could be a problem for non-nerds like us.
working on absolute strength and endurance. push, pull, carry, hinge, squat... building from 800m repeats. 10 more weeks and then digging into endurance focus. Probably hot back into BJJ then, too.
