US military risks falling behind in copying battlefield innovations

A new report warns that the U.S. military moves more slowly than Russian and Ukrainian forces when it comes to adopting and deploying innovations observed in active conflict. On the ground in Ukraine, both sides quickly replicate each other's tactical and equipment advances, leaving minimal time for either side to maintain a competitive edge. The U.S. military's bureaucratic processes may put it at a strategic disadvantage in future high-intensity warfare scenarios.
