according to a u.s. media report on august 29, the u.s. army demonstrated new intelligence acquisition capabilities in the "rapid response 2024" exercise held earlier. two alpha operations detachments (odas, also known as a teams) from the 10th special operations group (airborne) practiced a "cyber intrusion operation." during the operation, one a team successfully identified and controlled the wireless network system of the target building using remote intrusion equipment, and then manipulated security facilities such as cameras and door locks at will. another a team approached and entered the building by airborne. after completing intelligence collection, it used electronic warfare equipment to eliminate all traces and evacuated safely.

a u.s. military official said that this exercise showed that the u.s. army special forces have mastered intelligence acquisition methods that they have never mastered before, and can obtain key information without being detected. currently, the u.s. army special forces are changing from traditional counter-terrorism operations to a higher-level combat mode, and network intrusion and related intelligence collection methods are gradually becoming their focus. by combining network attacks, electronic warfare systems and signal intelligence systems, the u.s. army special forces can provide more extensive support for a variety of combat missions.
