- US Army used attack drones and ground robots to breach enemy positions, reducing risks to soldiers.
- The exercise demonstrated cost-effectiveness: 35 drones and 100+ pounds of C4 were cheaper than three artillery barrages.
- Drones created a 'drone contact layer' to engage enemies before human troops, making fights unfair for adversaries.
- Soldiers assembled cheap, attritable drones using parts from the Blue UAS List and 3D-printed components.
- The brigade integrated AI for processing battlefield reports but noted limitations in spatial understanding for planning.
