Furthermore, the exercise provided invaluable lessons in logistics and command and control (C2). Managing a large force with multiple moving parts requires a robust communication network and decentralized decision-making authority. iFAST-22 tested the command structures, allowing junior leaders to exercise initiative in a fluid battlefield environment. The integration of engineer units for creating bridges and breaching obstacles further underscored the importance of combat support in ensuring the momentum of an advance is not stalled by natural or man-made barriers.

The next frontier for IFAST-22 involves . Researchers are currently working on pre-storing reagents via freeze-drying and sealing devices to create "ready-to-use" kits. As these devices move from the lab to the clinic, they promise to make high-grade diagnostic tools accessible to everyone, regardless of their proximity to a major hospital. iFAST-22 tested the command structures
