Conclusion and Future Outlook
While defense budgets may allocate a larger share to advanced weapons and smart systems, the military's most critical factor remains skilled human personnel. The recent casualties, though appearing as low-intensity operations, clearly reveal the deformation on the overall readiness level of the US military due to high-exhaustion operations. Military planners in Washington are now obligated to restructure not only the effectiveness of deterrence and defense systems but also personnel rotation cycles, psychological support mechanisms, and base security standards in the coming processes. Otherwise, the hidden casualties on the battlefield could undermine operational continuity and pose a crisis potential that could even precede strategic objectives.
