In the era of drones and smart missiles, the U.S. has brought back a relic of World War I: the bayonet

The U.S. Army has brought back bayonet training at Ranger School to prepare soldiers for chaotic close-range combat.

The move reflects lessons from recent wars, especially Ukraine, where electronic warfare can disable drones, GPS, and communications.

Military leaders are emphasizing basic fighting and survival skills for situations where modern technology and support systems fail.
