The actual section is rather barebones as it gives appropriate recognition to micro/mini and small tactical drones as the greatest and most abundant threat to the platoon element, but doesn't really provide the element the necessary means to detect, avoid, or counter UAS systems beyond what boils down to "keep your eyes peeled and take your best potshots at it"

It gives the same standardized advice that's given for the defense, i.e seek cover and concealment, use decoys, minimize your visibility footprint, have some lads keep watch. And like sure, there really isn't much more you can do if your tank platoon is deployed on a mission forward of defensive lines. But you'd think there'd be discussion of standardizing anti-air/anti-UAS armaments, like integrating M-SHORAD pattern Strykers as a stop-gap measure while working on either inventing or buying SPAA vehicles to integrate into the platoon, or issuing additional MANPADS or even just fucking shotguns to the crew assigned to be air guards.

Fuck imagine watching the entirety of the Ukraine war and the rapid evolutions warfare has been going through and walking away from it thinking "we'll be fine not doing anything both sides figured out the hard way, that's unrealistic!" Slat-armor? Is that tableware? Equipping supporting infantry with armaments that let's them easily clay-pidgeon shoot shitty Amazon drones with grenades strapped to them? Nah give them heavy-ass shitty new 6.8mm rifles that have even less ammo in them so they can't even mag-dump in a vain attempt to save their asses.

Fuck me what is wrong with the army
