A challenge with force design is you have to index on a scenario to grade the design; this does not mean you have to design against a lone scenario, but it does mean you have to balance tradeoffs between your design and different scenarios
You can't just gesture broadly at the ~future of war~

Apparently when the 4th Marines was reactivated in 1952 they added a 4th rifle company to its 3rd Bn (K/3/4) and a whole new 4th Battalion to test quadrangular structures at the battalion- and regimental-levels (but had to reverse it when it deployed to Japan under 3MARDIV)

Me when the Army didn't get Cavalry Divisions (Mechanized) partially because the Chief of Cavalry wouldn't let horse regiments be converted for that purpose, so the Army had no choice but to create a separate Armored Force. Literally gave nothing and lost everything

The Indian Army's elite Sikh Light Infantry emerged from the Royal Pioneers of British India. Its battalions still recruit primarily from the Mazhabi and Ramgarhia communities, legendary for their resilience in harsh environments, and fierce martial spirit.

I finally have proper multi-language audio capability (not the crappy AI dubbing) so going forward I may do Spanish dubbing on the main channel. Because of the cost it'll be limited to videos in certain topic areas. Could expand to other languages like French if it's affordable
