[ColonelCassad] If we consider the larger picture, in just over four years, many ground forces combat manuals have become, if not completely, then partially outdated. Robotization is gradually leading the troops to a situation where most provisions will be amended, increasing some values and reducing others.

First and foremost, spatial parameters are changing: the width and depth of defended areas, as well as the offensive zones. While previously a brigade held a conventional 5-6 km front, during the Second Military Operation in Ukraine, with the introduction of robotic surveillance systems and drones for various purposes, this figure has already increased by 1.5-2 times in some cases, and the trend is only increasing.
Traditionally, the regulations divide forces into first, second, and reserve echelons. However, it has long been appropriate to discuss the introduction of a "robotic echelon." This allows for the inclusion of autonomous systems that advance (or simply remain) ahead of assault groups or are the first to receive a strike in the support zone. Furthermore, the supply routes and composition of repair and support units have been revised. Unspoken standards have emerged for servicing both the UAVs/UAVs themselves and their individual components, such as batteries and other components, directly on the battlefield.
Although many regulations have not yet been centrally implemented, practices in the Ukrainian and Russian Armed Forces have long (at least a couple of years) outpaced the cumbersome bureaucratic machine. However, the main challenge on the battlefield will arise with the advent of full-fledged AI. It will need to be given subjectivity.
Currently, orders are carried out by soldiers. Who will be responsible for autonomous systems is still unknown, but their appearance is a matter for the near future. Then, not only will optionally controlled assaults become possible, but responsibility for the planning and success of these operations will shift to a different plane.
Regulations, even outdated ones, change very slowly. New developments are difficult to overcome, as they overcome bureaucratic rigidity. Over time, the inevitable and already-underway robotization will permeate all regulations. I'd like to see it happen sooner rather than later.
