I will do up a Brigade Task Organization and where they deploy their units on a battlefield. I'll say we are conducting a "Movement to Contact" which is a battle drill intended to do what it suggests, make contact with the enemy. I've given the FA Battalion four batteries instead of the usual three. This is 24 guns versus 18.

We might want to consider that a lot of the fire support is drone-based and VI-assisted. So a virtual intelligence is like a highly advanced Siri that can probably easily follow the sort of call for fire protocols that all of Centurion are able to do. The Grathik are assisting heavily in enhancing human systems for fire control, but are trying to keep humans in the driver seat with equipment built to suit them ergonomically and in terms of doctrine. They're programmed to understand tactical communications among humans and follow those directions.

Basically, drones providing direct fire support with missiles and some sort of heavy automatic weapons seem totally viable. Keeping the humans directing them safe and undetected also seems like a plus. The downside of drones is that they can be hacked, rendered inoperable with countermeasures and they can be destroyed in a number of different ways and that having organic units in charge helps ameliorate the concerns that come with fully automated but somewhat dumb drone support units or, worse, kill-units with sophisticated AI's that are not reliable in combat.

That all leaves it back to organic infantry who still have an advantage with drone support. But right now, their drones are in 'contested' space and aren't identifying the enemy very well. So it's back down to the eyes of infantry units, though they can designate targets for the drones in turn, I would say.
