This article challenges Army engineers to move beyond traditional survivability practices that emphasize side protection from artillery, arguing that the proliferation of reconnaissance and attack drones in the Russia-Ukraine War has fundamentally altered the calculus of what makes vehicles and artillery positions survivable on the modern battlefield. Captain Taylor demonstrates how conventional earthworks—often constructed without overhead cover and leaving conspicuous signatures visible from the air—have become inadequate or even counterproductive against UAV threats, requiring engineers to critically assess whether concealment or cover better serves survivability in each specific operational context.
