What preparations does DoD or U.S. 7th Army need to make for the potential eventuality of conflict with Russia???

The fire team is the basic building block of the squad. Army has two, Marines have three. In terms of the Bradley Platoon, it varies. The M2-A2 has a four 3-man crews (x4 vehicles) and carries...
