As the COVID-19 pandemic erupted last spring, entire swaths of society shut down or went remote. But the vast majority of the military s missions, including air transportation, basic training and ships at sea, couldn t be done through Zoom calls. The services had to improvise and adapt to keep operations going while holding the disease at bay and they were largely successful. In the process, leaders said, the military has relearned old skills for operating in compromised environments that could come in handy in a future conflict if chemical or biological weapons were used.
