Established in 2018, the Army Futures Command is a body that leads the modernization of the U.S. Army and the development of future combat systems.

This tactics enabled the Azerbaijani Army to quickly defeat Armenian troops and move forward. Perhaps, the Chinese and Russian armies will apply similar tactics in a possible war against the U.S. in the future. Therefore, the U.S. needs to study the practice of such regional conflicts.
