The curriculum changes based on takeaways from soldiers and changing tactics.

Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine also impact how soldiers learn drone warfare.

The US Army's training command in Germany is updating its drone warfare curriculum every 60 days in response to changes in this technology and the way it's used on the battlefield.

These changes reflect what soldiers are learning from using drones , as well as ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, and include electronic warfare, or EW, and counter-drone technologies to better replicate the challenges troops could face in future wars.

During a media roundtable last week, Army leaders discussed efforts to modernize the force for uncrewed aerial systems, or UAS, including the curriculum for troop training courses, called programs of instruction, or POIs.

Terry Tillis, the head of 7th Army Training Command, said the command developed drone-related programs of instruction based on its experience.

"We iterate every sixty days to update those POIs, primarily focused on UAS operations ," Tillis said on the call, per a transcript, "whether it's a planning course, an instructor course, or an employment course, and also with EW and other effects." Tillis added that the command syncs with the different Centers of Excellence routinely to share updates.

The 7th Army Training Command is the Army's largest overseas center for training soldiers.

Located in Germany, the command oversees the instruction and courses for soldiers across Europe and Africa and works with Army partners and allies as well.
