Indianapolis, IN, July 22, 2026 —
The Indiana National Guard is currently conducting a large-scale exercise at Camp Atterbury, focusing on the evaluation and refinement of new Army combat tactics. The exercise involves approximately 6,000 military personnel and centers on testing a mobile brigade combat team formation.
The primary objective of this training is to identify and address potential shortcomings in emerging combat strategies before they are considered for deployment. The exercise is designed to be adaptive, incorporating lessons learned from recent global conflicts, such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This approach aims to ensure that the Army’s strategies remain relevant and effective in modern warfare scenarios.
A key component of the exercise involves the testing of new technologies, including advanced drones and vehicles. These technological advancements are being integrated into the combat formations to assess their capabilities and operational effectiveness.
Adding an international dimension to the training, soldiers from Slovakia, Estonia, Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine are participating. Their involvement is crucial for sharing expertise, particularly in the specialized area of drone warfare, where many of these nations have gained significant recent experience. This collaborative effort allows for a diverse range of perspectives and tactical knowledge to be shared among the participating forces.
