In the dusty California desert, U.S. Army trainers are already using lessons learned from Russia's war against Ukraine as they prepare soldiers for future fights against a major adversary such as Russia or China.
The role-players in this month's exercise at the National Training Center speak Russian. The enemy force that controls the fictional town of Ujen is using a steady stream of social media posts to make false accusations against the American brigade preparing to attack.

Ten years ago NTC was transitioning from counterinsurgency training to include a conventional peer to peer Syrian or Iranian threat. We're always reactive and not proactive with our training focus.

Big Army decides what the threat looks like at NTC. I was OPFOR at NTC. There are rotations where it was prescriptive and others where it was not…we were Americans fighting off Warsaw Pact equipment and formations without the communism and control. They usually cultivate 5-6 different rotational scenarios based on projected threats. These threats update on an annual basis depending on what FORSCOM divisions want their BDEs trained on.
The Russian speakers comment in the OP cracks me up. We had MI people filling nets with Russian and English chatter.

I think we learned how this would go at most every PME school in the past 5-10yrs
