Land doctrine allows a nation to specialize the way its army conducts land warfare. Land doctrines can be reviewed and unlocked from the Officer Corps. There are four mutually exclusive doctrine trees each with one or two mutually exclusive branches.
The Army is not known for original thought. Here we are returning to what worked well 30 to 40 years ago. So don't get me started about modularity or Multi-domain BS! In the 70's 80's and 90's MOSs were specialized (11M came about with the fielding of the M2 with the specialized gunnery requirements. Infantry Officers studied light and mechanized tactics to include mortars and TOW gunnery. With the onset of GWOT and the nature of guerrilla/insurgent warfare coupled with the terrain and annual rotations of Brigades and Divisions. The Personnel goobs decided that 11B, 11M and 11H no difference IOT fill the realigned BCT models (Mech or Light). Now that GWOT isn't fun anymore the DoD is returning focus to our traditional rivals. The Russians and Chicoms never changed their doctrine or agonized over being "More Expeditionary". They keep the same formations and outfitted them with more lethal firepower! What does the US Army have to show for 18+ years of combat? COIN and the STRYKER! So now nearly a generation of soldiers has lost skills learned at the NTC, mounted fire and maneuver, offensive and defensive tactics. It is no wonder that company grade and junior field grade officers are puzzled with potential warfare with Russians or Chicoms! In my own experience I started out in the Armored Cavalry (The real Armored Cavalry not the current watered down version). Then I served in an M1 equipped Armor BN. My gunnery was excellent, but my maneuver tended to be more cautious not taking full advantage of the M1 speed and armor, but I kicked ass as the HHC commander, because I had developed a broad skill set of tactics and supported operations! Never the less I fared well enough to get promoted. I believe the junior enlisted need to be specialized up to mid-grade E6, and then BPT lead in both formations. Officers should be capable of leading in both formations. The army is too small for leaders to only be light or mech. Hell's Guard!
Soldiers Inc: Mobile Warfare Mod Unlock All
Experts in defensive warfare, these stalwart soldiers are hard to shift from an entrenched position. If you like to hold your ground, look no further than the Skitarii of Agripinaa and their exotic allies.
The regiments drawn from Tallarn consist of mobile guerrilla fighters, evasive as they are opportunistic. They are masters of hit-and-run warfare, striking a killing blow at the heart of an enemy formation before returning to their own lines, prepared to pounce once more.
The jetbike-riding kindreds of Saim-Hann are renowned for their preference for fast, mobile warfare, striking as a serpent before falling back beyond the reach of retaliation. Theirs is a craftworld of ancient tradition and a proud warrior culture.
