Wargaming Loss Leads to Overhaul of How U.S. Will Fight

A brutal loss in a wargaming exercise over Taiwan last year convinced the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. John Hyten to scrap joint warfighting concepts that had guided U.S. military operations for decades, Defense One reports.

Said Hyten: “Without overstating the issue, it failed miserably. An aggressive red team that had been studying the United States for the last 20 years just ran rings around us. They knew exactly what we’re going to do before we did it.”
