This doesn’t look quite like upgrades to me. It looks more like accommodation, although adapting to new target structures ahead of time is always a good idea. I’ll leave the judgment call up to those of you with more training in this area.<\/p>\n

From the article:\u00a0\u00a0The changes that are beginning now have led to resentment among some Special Forces that the brass wants to make it easier to pass the qualification course as a way to boost lagging recruiting numbers and ensure that women will eventually qualify. The fear, such critics say, is that Green Berets will become weaker and “dangerously less capable than ever before.”<\/p>\n

Army leaders insist the changes reflect the military’s need to adapt to evolving security threats from Russia, China, Iran and others foes. They say the nearly two-year course had to be shortened, so some training will be done when soldiers get to their units, where it can be tailored to the specific needs of the region. – article<\/p>\n
