CONCLUSION
When rifled muskets were first introduced, no army recognized how the dramatic increase in
range and lethality would impact massed formations of infantry. Few armies recognized the impacts
of the telegraph and railroad on modern war until it was too late. Too often, our tactics and doctrine
lag far behind the dramatic advances in lethality and mobility. Like these previous advances, the
integration of RCVs into our scout platoons and cavalry troops must fundamentally change the way
leaders conduct R&S operations in the near future.
To win the next major ground war, our R&S doctrine must adapt. Not only should we incorporate
these new systems into our current organizations and our existing training models, but we must
also be prepared to challenge the underlying assumptions that drive our current tactics. It is only
through this rigorous and professional dialogue that we can fully leverage the new capabilities and
opportunities the RCV offers.
