Wagner commands their soldiers from the top down very strictly. They are told what to do on a moment to moment basis. Lay down, fan out, move up to that tree, fire on this location, etc. They are controlled by drones who fly above them. It is kinda like a real time strategy game.

If you don’t follow the command you’re given, they kill you. The commands are very simple because they don’t trust you. You can only withdraw if you are commanded to do so.

The HQ has feeds from many different drones, and can see what is going on in many places at once, and they order all of the groups to move and behave. The purpose is to probe for weaknesses and then put as many resources at that weak point as possible as quickly as possible.

This is why casualties are irrelevant. The people doing the fighting have basically zero value. They do what they are told or they die and get replaced.

This is how Wagner turns people with absolutely no military training, experience, skill, or ability into an offensive threat. It is why I say the drone is their primary weapon. Wagner will continue as long as they have three things: 1: cannon fodder 2: drones 3: ammo
