The rush for better indirect fire support is similar to Thailand's own rush for more mobile indirect fire support options after the border wars they had with Laos & Cambodia - especially with the threat of the Myanmar Civil War leaking over the border into Thailand. It was Thailand's own experience with French Artillery Systems like the Caesar SPH and GIAT LG1 Howitzer that made them develop their own domestically produced M758 SPH (co developed with Elbit) and CS/AH2 Light Howitzer (co developed with Chinese Poly Technologies).

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="675">11:15</a> - I think the "resilience" comes from the squad being able to survive the loss of a single team without completely losing its ability to engage a certain kind of target. Under the trinome system, the squad is always one grenade or one autocannon burst away from either losing both of its anti-armour weapons, or the MG and grenadier at the same time. Under the binome system the two anti-armour systems and the two anti-massed infantry systems can be kept separate from each other (because they don't answer to the same team leader), so that even after one lucky hit the squad still has the ability to engage vehicles and massed infantry (and engage at long range, if you count the DMR and MG as redundancies).
@GoldandPearl3 ай бұрын
thats quite good explanation but if you ask me. none of the current doctrines are good enough. fire teams and support teams must work as buddy and respond to same leader. imagine every rifle squad has 3 man drone support team that can engage in comms real time to operate. basicly you will have minimap leader can mark lokations in real time. with proper fpv drone support no rifle suqad needs anti tank support like it used to be. let grunt be grunt dont make things complicated for them. there is no more massed infantry assult anymore. mg is basicly just fire support unit. russia using 2 by 2 infiltartion tactics. as any fpv drone will target you if you are more then 2 person. and there hundereds flying at the same time.

It definitely seems like the French are taking lessons from the Ukraine conflict. A ton of organic anti tank weaponry, drones for longer range strike missions, and more mobile heavy mortars.

Adding a commando platoon to every regiment/BTGr is a really cool idea, and it's interesting to see all those NATO militaries starting to embrace deep battle concepts, focusing both on frontline and backline troops equally. Imagine how difficult it would be for a Russian or Chinese mechanised unit to operate if their C3 had to stay far away from the actual line units due to fear of being destroyed by a bunch of madmen running around their rear, getting constantly targeted and jammed. Lightning war is great and all, but we can see how armored pushes are oftentimes rarely viable like in Ukraine, so having a capability to put pressure and push an enemy without exposing your main body is a really great capability to have.

waouh this is so much work, its also beautifully made, you never disapoint Battle Order! what id like to know is what you actually think about all that? you are probably the kind of guy that think he is not competent enough to give its opinion because you actually understand how complicated it all is, but dude, you are so much more aware about those things compared to average "Jean", i'm pretty sure you could give a an educated guess without sounding pretentious! i'm also pretty sure that if theres a mistake, the large amount of actual military personnel that are watchinbg your content with awe seeing a not even french dude explain all this in a much clearer fashion than any official document would love to give their opinion and insights

I used to think they are useless, but most armies should have the M72 to all units, ukraine has shown you may come across dugouts and bunkers and they are light and good compared to even the at4 in terms of weight, like us canadians first putting optics on squad automatics, now everyone does it and we are not mocked,, same should be said on canada use of m72, don't mock us, think, every 2nd man can have something for short range use.

The Small Quadcopter Bomber Drones should really be relegated to Company level, specialist Squad, attached to C&C, since they double as Reconnaissance (full team of 2x4). So you can upsize for Artillery Tube/Rocket Battery's using bigger Recon drones. The Tactical Loitering Munition (Shorter range Kamikaze) Drones should be organized as 1 whole platoon, since strikes are person directed, and provide incidental recon, and being able to be attached to Companies ad-hoc. The Medium Range Drones (Kamikaze + Recon) should be given as a whole Company and to be attached to Brigade level units, same who can direct Extended Range Fires.

Just saying as a former Canadian infantryman who's worked at the section, platoon, company and battalion level. And with the French, British, Americans, Germans, Norwegians, you name it... Three ways of doing things! # 1 You take ALL of your combat support guys, you know, anti-tank, reconnaissance, snipers, assault pioneers, machine gunners, motarmen, split them up and put them into a platoon or rifle company. A bit messed up. # 2 You take ALL of your combat support guys and have an assault pioneer platoon, an anti-tank platoon, a reconnaissance platoon with snipers, a mortar platoon, you name it, and assign them to various tasks. # 3 You throw the org chart out the window! And assign motarmen, machine gunners, anti-tank, assault pioneers, combat engineers and snipers, air defence, you name it, based on requirements. Think Afghanistan. Hate to state the obvious but modern warfare is all about flexibility! Also known as the battle group, combat team, strike force, task force, call it whatever you want. Now, the French are good. But not necessarily better than anyone else when it comes to organizing their troops.

Infantry used to be a guy with a musket standing in a line formation. Now infantry has to go up against tanks, drones, aircraft, and machine guns. They have better weapons and technology to accomplish this but war seems to keep getting more and more deadly how long until infantry can no longer be effective against the weapons of the future. Or will infantry continue to evolve with special armored suits and weapons.

I'm noticing a distinct loss of anti-material capability in these "future fighter" programs. Gone are the heady days of the Cold War when a US infantry squad would have at least 1 LAW per trooper with most having 2 or more being the typical order of the day. Now, going by at least the French, it's at most 3 per PLATOON.
