By: FEDweek StaffThe Army plans to incorporate lessons learned from the conflict between Ukraine and Russia as it formulates the final version of its Multi-Domain Operations doctrine. The Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) reported that the plan will debut by the end of the year.
“We’re observing those lessons right now,” Gen. Paul Funk, commander of the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), told an audience during a recent AUSA-sponsored event. “We’ve got the entire Center for Army Lessons Learned over there [in Europe] to capture these observations so that we can come back, check our doctrine, make sure it’s up to speed.”
Funk also said that future leaders will receive considerable practical training well before they undergo classroom instruction.
“We want you to understand your platoon doctrine, move, shoot, communicate, be competent with your weapons systems. Let’s build leaders of character, let’s do the basics,” Funk said.
He also said the expansion of initial entry training for enlisted infantry and armor soldiers to 22 weeks from 14 also would serve to foster greater proficiency. By the time these soldiers arrive at their units from Fort Benning, Georgia, he said, “They’re actually contributing members to the team.”
