SOCOM chief says military must 'creatively destroy' old training

Summary: The head of the US military's Special Operations Command, Adm. Frank Bradley, says troops need to stop doing outdated training exercises. Because there is only so much time in a day, the military must "creatively destroy" its old schedules to make room for new skills. Instead of just adding new tasks to a packed calendar, they have to drop old ones. This will help soldiers learn to use modern technology like drones and electronic warfare. Even with new tech, soldiers will still need to keep their toughness and basic survival skills.
