Drones could mean the end of sprawling bases seen during Iraq and Afghanistan Wars
The US military's approach to troop deployments may be changing due to the increasing presence of attack drones on battlefields. According to the head of US Southern Command, massive troop deployments like those seen in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are becoming more dangerous. The US military had previously adopted a "more is better" approach, with large bases serving as logistics and transportation hubs.
However, with the rise of attack drones, this approach may no longer be viable. Further details on this shift in strategy are available from the source.
