The US Army is facing challenges in tank proficiency due to over two decades of counterinsurgency focus, resulting in tank gunners being significantly out of practice. Experts warn of a gap between advanced tank capabilities and the crews' ability to maximize their use. As the Army shifts towards preparing for large-scale combat, similar to World War II tactics, there is an emphasis on revisiting basic gunnery skills alongside utilizing cutting-edge technology. Comprehensive training is needed to ensure crews can effectively engage in modern armored warfare against formidable adversaries like Russia and China.

We have a new or reinvigorated focus on large-scale combat operations, which involves longer ranges and engagement distances.
