General Jim Rainey: 作为陆军未来司令部的指挥官,我一直在思考未来战争的形态。我倾向于将它分解为三个方面:进化、革命和异常。进化是战争的常态,但革命性的变化,如数据中心战和无人系统,可能会从根本上改变战争的性质。我们需要区分观察到的教训和真正吸取的教训,以便有效地学习和适应新的战争形态。以数据为中心的战争,特别是人工智能,将以前所未有的速度和复杂性影响战争,掌握这一点的军队将拥有巨大的优势,甚至可能像核武器一样具有威慑作用。无人系统,包括空中、地面和水下,都需要迅速发展,以应对未来的挑战。在打击方面,我们必须将廉价的大规模打击和精良的精确打击相结合,避免将资源浪费在两者之间的中间地带。总的来说,陆军转型计划旨在优化人员配置,确保人员部署在需要的地方,以适应未来战争的需求。
