Army of Burgundie Combat Capability Realignment of 2026: Difference between revisions

The '''Army of Burgundie Combat Capability Realignment of 2026''' was a comprehensive initiative aimed at modernizing and restructuring [[Army of Burgundie]] to meet the challenges of 21st-century warfare. Developed by [[Pelaxia]]n and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] junior officers, the realignment touched upon every facet of the [[Army of Burgundie|Army]], from personnel recruitment and training to the integration of cutting-edge technologies and the development of new operational doctrines.

The Realignment addressed recruitment challenges by elevating support units and replacing some infantry with direct-fire drone units, reflecting [[Burgundie]]'s [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Tertiary_Education|high academic attainment]]. It also bolstered Military Intelligence with larger Intelligence and Electronic Warfare units for mobile EW/anti-drone capabilities. Combat support battalion-level assets shifted to brigades, enabling easier task force organization and allowing larger battalions to focus solely on combat. It prioritized integrating {{wp|UAV}}s and {{wp|UGV}}s into existing formations at all levels, embedding them within infantry, armor, and artillery units. Two reconnaissance {{wp|UAV}}s per infantry platoon and three per artillery battalion (HQ units received five); loitering munitions at the battalion and brigade levels, utilizing platoons of three [[CTC Pelican Drone Terra-carrier]]s each; and an increased use of armored cars with integrated UAV squads. Specialized units were also established for drone swarms or complex {{wp|UGV}} operations. To maximize their effectiveness, the realignment emphasized integrating these unmanned assets into daily operations. Soldiers undergo regular training, and {{wp|UAV}}s are routinely used for reconnaissance and surveillance, enhancing situational awareness. {{wp|UGV}}s are employed for logistical tasks and force protection. Both are seamlessly integrated into combined arms operations. The Realignment mandated full integration of the [[HERMES Collaborative Combat Network]] and the [[Hypaspistai Projectile Defense Network]]. [[HERMES Collaborative Combat Network|HERMES]] provides real-time situational awareness, facilitates a common operating picture, and streamlines logistics. [[Hypaspistai Projectile Defense Network|Hypaspistai]] provides a layered defense against incoming projectiles, utilizing sensors, interceptors, and electronic warfare. Training and simulation capabilities were expanded with virtual and augmented reality, specialized programs, and comprehensive evaluation systems, mostly through the expanded use of [[HERMES Collaborative Combat Network|HERMES]]. Talent management programs were implemented, along with incentives for highly skilled personnel and streamlined promotion processes. Medical support and casualty evacuation were enhanced with mobile facilities, advanced evacuation platforms, and telemedicine. Cyber and electronic warfare capabilities were bolstered through investment in advanced technologies and the deployment of specialized units. The use of information operations and psychological warfare was expanded, with dedicated units and integration into all levels of planning. The Realignment also prioritized sustainability initiatives, comprehensive soldier wellness programs, expanded use of AI, strengthened cybersecurity measures, increased international collaboration, and the development of doctrine for emerging technologies. Investment in space-based capabilities and streamlining of bureaucratic processes were also emphasized. Finally, the realignment re-prioritized enhanced CBRN capabilities, dedicated urban warfare training centers, specialized schools for mountain and arctic warfare, research and development of non-lethal weapons, advanced materials research, human-machine teaming, predictive maintenance programs, and investment in energy-efficient technologies.
