We talk about flooding the battlespace with sUAS, but how can we when most infantry companies have only a handful of qualified operators?

Ukraine and Gaza have shown us the future—organic drone integration at the lowest levels. Yet, we’re still playing catch-up, even when the homework is done for us.

As Lieutenant Blaine Mainz correctly points out in this week's article, it's time to man, train, and equip our small units with modern necessities:

📣 Redundancy in not only systems, but in operators as well.

📣 Deliberate and creative training, across live, virtual, and constructive environments.

📣 Leaders who listen and learn, organizations that respond, and cohesive teams grounded in trust and well-rehearsed TTPs.

The battlefield isn’t waiting—why are we?

Stay lethal.
