Uncertain Future

A tactical scenario depicts forces operating under persistent surveillance, electronic warfare pressure, and communications restrictions in large-scale combat operations. Units live in concealed positions, communicate only during limited transmission windows, and rely on runners and physical media to pass orders. Drone swarms, civilian reconnaissance teams, signal flooding, and loitering munitions create layered detection and targeting threats followed by artillery and maneuver attacks. The narrative highlights how survivability depends on emissions control, dispersion, deception, and resilient command-and-control rather than constant maneuver. It illustrates a battlefield where information dominance, energy management, and operational discipline determine whether units survive long enough to fight.
