You've missed by too much a major Pentagon policy realignment to state to state warfare. Pentagon is now focused on Russian conventional state to state warfare. Pentagon is doing this because the Russian General Staff is doing exactly that. We see this currently in relation to the Azov Sea and the Russian conventional buildup at the Ukraine border, for instance. You're not doing that only for show.
From the Journal of the US Army War College in 2016 and which now dominates Pentagon military policy toward Russia...
The war in Ukraine has refocused Western attention on
Russia and its ability to project power, particularly in terms of “hy
brid warfare” through the so-called Gerasimov Doctrine. At the
same time, Russian military thinking—and actions—are rapidly
evolving. This article reflects on the increasingly prominent role of
conventional force, including the use of high intensity firepower, in
Russian war fighting capabilities, and advocates the need for a shift
in our conceptualization of Russian actions from hybrid warfare to
state mobilization.

US Army Chief Gen. Mark Milley has invested his past four years armoring up agile infantry brigades with armor made of new composites and he's already doubled heavy weapons range and firepower while introducing new individual weapons that revolutionize firepower accuracy, lethality, intensity. USMC has reinvented its squad tactics and it has adopted the new individual lethal weapons to go with its upgraded and daring maneuver warfare. Prototypes of an intermediate main battle tank are on the ground that have the significant weight and muscle while being agile and light enough to cross common bridges with dispersed and rapidly advancing forces (which is an Abrams limitation).
The fear in the Kremlin is the same fear that exists in Beijing and it is the US integrated Global Rapid Strike Force Gerasimov referenced in his address. If you might want to discuss Gerasimov and the 2016 election of Potus you and I can do that too thx in advance.
