Army Is Spending Half a Billion to Train Soldiers to Fight Underground (from 6/2018)
U.S. Army leaders say the next war will be fought in mega-cities, but the service has embarked on an ambitious effort to prepare most of its combat brigades to fight, not inside, but beneath them.
Late last year, the Army launched an accelerated effort that funnels some $572 million into training and equipping 26 of its 31 active combat brigades to fight in large-scale subterranean facilities that exist beneath dense urban areas around the world.
Why fight in them at all? Just seal up all the entrances but one and wait.
