11th Armored Cavalry Regiment Stresses Simple Plans And Robust Systems

The 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, which serves as the Opposing Force at the National Training Center, has learned the importance of simplicity in tech and processes through its experience in simulated battles. The unit uses non-standard tech to emulate threats and emphasizes simple plans and centralized tech to achieve success. According to Capt. Jake Thomas and Col. Kevin Black, this approach allows the regiment to react quickly to new information and seize the initiative. The regiment’s unique mission and limited budget have also led it to improvise and adapt new technology, which could be a model for other units. This was reported by Breaking Defense.
