Summary
The U.S. Army has unveiled a new plan to integrate biological warfare scenarios into routine combat training, as concerns grow over the potential use of biotechnology and artificial intelligence by adversaries. Dr. Alison Tamasi, a senior official, stated that soldiers cannot be protected from every biological threat. The plan aims to prepare the military to operate in biologically contested environments by 2035. The shift comes amid renewed concerns about Russia’s biological weapons program and a Chinese AI model linked to bioweapon instructions. The Army will incorporate biological incidents into major exercises and train personnel across different military functions to manage such threats.
