During the past several decades, the nature of warfare has changed—not abruptly, but nonetheless significantly. As a result, the modern battlefield presents challenges greater than any commander has ever faced. Because of increasingly sophisticated weapons systems and infor- mation collection, processing, and dissemi- nation systems available to the combat commander, conducting war has become a technologically complex business. New and improved weapons and forms of transportation provide greater firepower and mobility to combatants than ever before. On the ground, improved tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, personnel car- riers, and self-propelled artillery step up the pace and lethality of combat. In the air, more capable attack and transport helicop- ters and fixed-wing aircraft quickly carry the fight to every corner of the battlefield.
