New video on the organization and equipment of the new Multipurpose Company the U.S. Army is implementing with its light infantry battalions in replacement of the old Weapons Company. The video mainly focuses on what's being done by the 101st Airborne Division and what was tried vis-a-vis robot platoons with A Company, 1-29 Infantry (the experimental force). The other light divisions are doing similar things but a little differently from what I understand.

The core problem is that the drone's effectiveness dropped SIGNIFICANTLY when the threat was realized, and the videos that came out after the initial months of Ukraine are basically the equivalent of highlight reels. So unless you can stuff an AGI in there, drones will be giant paperweights.
