The U.S. military closely monitors the unprovoked Russian aggression against Ukraine every day, trying to learn lessons for itself.. And now Washington has drawn some conclusions.

This was during a conference at the Atlantic Council, said US Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth.. First of all, all the failures of Russian forces in Ukraine show how important command and training is. Warmouth noted that the Russian military trains differently than the Americans, and they also act differently..

“And all Russian war crimes are connected precisely with the failures of command and training, with the lack of discipline,” says Wormuth..

The second lesson is “logistics, logistics and again logistics”.

“You can have the best and most advanced equipment in the world. But if it cannot be maintained and supplied with everything necessary, there will be little benefit, ”the American minister explained..

She noted that the United States should think about how the American army organizes logistics in regions where it will potentially have to carry out operations, in particular, in the Pacific Ocean.. Another important lesson that the US Army has learned from the Russian war against Ukraine is the importance of secure communications systems..

“It is a serious problem when soldiers use ordinary mobile phones. This is either because soldiers always carry them with them, especially for young personnel, or because of the lack of secure communication systems.. When this happens, personnel become a vulnerable target.. So we need to take care to leave as few digital footprints as possible,” explained Warmouth..

She also noted the increase in threats from drones.. Their influence on the methods of warfare was noticeable even during the war in Nagorno-Karabakh. Ukraine only confirmed the early conclusions made at that time. And, according to the Secretary of the US Army, this should be taken into account when modernizing American air defense missile systems..

Another important lesson that the United States learned from the Russian war in Ukraine is the need to support the military-industrial complex and create strategic stockpiles of ammunition.. Washington has already ordered Javelin and Stinger missiles to replenish its stockpile of these weapons, Warmuth said, as a significant number have been transferred to Ukraine.. At the same time, the US military is considering increasing stockpiles of ammunition that can be stored for a long time..
