Visiting Units Overly Rely 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 Opposing Force, the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, is using a range of tactics, including jamming and deepfake voices, to disrupt visiting units’ communications. While some units are able to adapt and use backup systems, others struggle to keep up with the fast-changing battlefield. The Army is working to address these challenges, with a focus on developing more robust communications systems and training junior leaders to take initiative and use their judgment.
