This article explores the evolving role of power generation in LSCO arguing that energy must be treated as an equal commodity on par with CLIII Fuel and CLV Munitions. Drawing on lessons learned from Recent Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC) and Lethal Eagle exercises, the article highlights how distributed operations, unmanned systems, and sensor rich formations are driving unprecedented battlefield energy demand. It examines current gaps in power distribution, storage and sustainment planning, and proposes an echeloned approach to power support complete with modular energy packages, scalable charging infrastructure, and formalized tracking systems. The central thesis: in LSCO, energy is not a convenience, it’s a combat enabler. If we fail to treat it as such, we risk operational paralysis at the edge of the fight.

For the last twenty years of Counterinsurgency (COIN) operations, the Army Medical Community has enjoyed unprecedented medical evacuation of wounded from the battlefield. Air superiority allowed for Army aviation to evacuate from the point of injury to definite care in little as 20 minutes. From the lessons learned as a result of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, we know now this might not be the case in the future. In any future Large Scale Combat Operations, US air superiority will not be guaranteed; in addition, the use of UaS that we are seeing in Ukraine, could degrade the use of dedicated ground evacuation of causalities. The Ukrainian military medical community in partnership with civilian industry has develop a Role 2 underground “Sustainment Points” to allow prolong medical care of wounded. This paper explores how Ukraine developed and uses these system along with the potential for employment by the US Medical Community in future LSCO.

This publication will provide the foundational knowledge needed to become data literate. Commanders and staff will learn about the different types of data, methods for collecting and analyzing it, and how to apply data to improve operations. The goal of this publication is to foster data literacy and develop a foundation to interpret data, draw meaningful conclusions, and apply them to real-world challenges, making you a more effective leader, Soldier, and asset to the U.S. Army.

This paper describes both best practices and recommendations for M-SHORAD batteries in support of the Brigade Combat Team (BCT and division), specifically regarding the role of the Air Defense Coordinator, employment of Stinger and Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and engagement authority within the division. The ADA branch must continually examine the role of SHORAD and mission command dynamics to set conditions for success in future SHORAD implementation. This paper references the yet-to-be-published DM 3-01 to provide appropriate context for NTC rotation 25-02. Charlie Battery, 6th Battalion, 56th Air Defense was the supporting M-SHORAD Battery during this rotation.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has reached a stalemate over the past two years. Tactical-level combat power losses in both the Russian Ground Forces (RGF) and Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) have reduced the operational-level endurance necessary to bring the conflict to an end. In any future large-scale combat operation against a pacing or acute threat, U.S. Army units must be prepared to conduct operations in a contested logistical environment. To train as it will fight, the U.S. Army must emphasize conserving sufficient combat power during collective training of tactical combat tasks. This paper will present endurance-related observations from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and U.S. Army collective training events, discuss potential impacts on the U.S. Army, and offer recommendations to mitigate identified challenges.
