WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Army is incorporating observations gathered from the Russia-Ukraine war into its massive networking-and-technologies exercise known as Project Convergence, but is wary of drawing too many conclusions too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While \u201cthere\u2019s already a few\u201d things \u201cthat we are looking at, especially how does the threat operate,\u201d the Army has \u201cto be very cautious not to get the wrong lessons, because I think there\u2019s still a lot to be learned from\u201d the conflict, Brig. Gen. Guy Jones said Oct. 10 at the Association of the U.S. Army annual conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jones leads the Army\u2019s Futures and Concepts Center, an organization closely linked to the service\u2019s massive overhaul of in-the-field equipment and behind-the-scenes digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBoth in simulation and our live threat,\u201d Jones said<\/a>, \u201cwe\u2019ve adjusted now over the last three months on some of the tactics, techniques and procedures that we\u2019ve seen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Convergence, the Army\u2019s contribution to the Pentagon\u2019s vision of seamless military information sharing, or Joint All-Domain Command and Control, kicks off in October and continues through November. This year\u2019s event, known as PC 22, features scenarios focused on both the Indo-Pacific and Europe, a recognition of the threats posed by China and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jones on Monday described the scenarios as maritime-centric and land-centric \u2014 the sort of environments encountered in a fight for the Pacific or a fight for Eastern Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
