The U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (SWCS), known for its comprehensive training of Special Forces soldiers, is reintroducing Cold War-era tactics into its curriculum. This shift marks a strategic adaptation in response to the ongoing war in Ukraine, which has demonstrated the continued relevance of World War II and Cold War tactics in modern warfare.
Brigadier General Guillaume Beaurpere, commanding general of SWCS, highlighted the changes in training that now include the construction and breaching of counter-mobility tank ditches. This skillset is crucial for Special Forces engineers, particularly in the context of large-scale conflicts where such obstacles can significantly impact the dynamics of ground combat.
