@jlmcardle01 & @DohrmanC provide an outstanding take on future of military readiness through synthetic environments. This could change the game in the techno-cognitive confrontation with China and Russia.

China and Russia both see this confrontation as central to defeating the US armed forces if war occurs. It will occur across domains and command structures. It will require personnel who can make quick, accurate decisions under duress with imperfect information.
Given the increasing salience of new warfighting domains like space, cyberspace, and the EMS, along with the increasing interactions between these domains, real-world training for this sort of decision making has become impossible or cost-prohibitive.
We've like reached a point where we can't train realistically in meatspace alone. We have to move to a mix of live and synthetic environs to train our minds effectively. And this only becomes more important for incorporation and training of AI.
Technological capabilities and operational concepts are fascinating and important. However, it takes people (and possibly bots) to operate those capabilities and execute those concepts. We need new methods to train them.
