CJCS: U.S. Forces Must Prepare To Be 'Hunted' by Autonomous Systems

The article reports that Gen. Dan Caine warned U.S. forces must adapt to a battlefield shaped by autonomous systems, real-time tracking, and spectrum-wide jamming. He argues that the joint force should assume formations will be hunted and must field the right mix of capabilities before conflict begins. The piece frames AI-enabled drone warfare as an immediate operational challenge rather than a future possibility. Its core takeaway is that military preparedness now depends on speed, adaptability, and layered combat capabilities.
