This initiative is part of preparing troops for multi-domain operations, as demonstrated in the multinational exercise Project Flytrap, which recently concluded in Lithuania. The training aims to establish a standard baseline for operating in contested environments, ensuring mobility and survivability. The "new basics" are being integrated into unit training management to ensure proficiency across all roles within the Army.
