Sounds like a meat grinder to me.Notable development. After weeks of mostly small-scale dismounted infantry assaults, it looks like Ukraine's 82nd Air Assault Brigade is assaulting with armor again towards Verbove past the anti-tank obstacle line with Strykers, Marders, and MaxxPro MRAPs. https://t.co/z1d4bmZ22W

I wonder if unit designations/specialties mean anything anymore. An airborne unit is being used as mech infantry in the purest sense of the word.
No attempt to conduct ops just behind the forward lines.
No attempt at raids.
They're just using an airborne unit as a mech infantry outfit.
The same applies for Ukrainian Marines.
No attempt to use them for flanking attacks using the sea as maneuver space.
No attempt to use them to secure areas just behind the forward lines and rush reinforcements in to conduct breakout ops....just using them as regular mech infantry.
If this war is a guide then you only need two types of infantry. Urban/Trench warfare and Mech Infantry.
Everything else is just chest thumping and as the Brits would say hat badge material or in the US Army something to earn a tab for.
Can you imagine? A total reorganization and consolidation of US infantry? The only differences would be found in tabs which would really only indicate schools you've been to?
Imagine signing a contract that says you get to go to Marine School, Airborne School, Ranger School and after all that madness you're headed off to the 3rd ID to be a Bradley Crewman!
The future is gonna be crazy!
