Visiting Units Overly Reliant on Technology in Wargames
At the National Training Center, Army brigades are facing challenges in overcoming electronic warfare and AI-generated disinformation in wargames. The 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, acting as the Opposing Force, is using a range of tactics, including jamming and deepfake voices, to test visiting units’ communications and decision-making. While some units are able to work around the jamming using backup systems, they often struggle with the lack of advanced features and slower decision cycles. The Opposing Force’s success in these wargames may have significant implications for the Army’s training and preparedness for future conflicts, as reported by Breaking Defense.
