These units need to be able to operate largely on their own across battlefield domains, while only having sporadic, low-quality contact back to command posts, he said, though he acknowledged doing that will be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Metrick said the war in Ukraine has shown how important it is to have a flexible networking construct, though he cautioned not all lessons would apply in a potential U.S. war in the Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine has taken advantage of resources such as Starlink satellites and ground terminals to help manage command and control. Kyiv\u2019s forces also have used a variety of small drones to beat back Russia\u2019s invasion, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s very much a bootstrapped approach [in Ukraine], but it\u2019s effective,\u201d Metrick said. \u201cIn a lot of ways, you can glean things about the importance of tactical flexibility, about agility, and about the unique combinations of capabilities that produce asymmetric effects from the Ukraine example.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe should take it as a given that in places, our
