I have this oped currently running in Washington Post on why soldiers (service members) fight. https://t.co/1lcnXC7FBG

Here is an article that my RAND colleague Andrew Radin and I currently have running at The Hill on Ukraine’s successful strategy of attrition against Russia. https://t.co/zH59MWDg3u

Using my understanding of ground combat in Ukraine, I apply it to what i think the implications for combat in Ukraine today might mean for a future ground centric fight along the Korean DMZ. https://t.co/glojEZosPo

@KofmanMichael @Jack_Watling @WarOnTheRocks Michael and Jack, very nice and important piece to help think through possible ways ahead for Ukraine.

@joni_askola Yes that is true but it really needs to be a true transition to Corps level formations and not just supercharged Brigades in charge of other brigades. Mick Ryan has some really good analysis on this issue at his substack Futura Doctrina

@GeoConfirmed thx for getting to the bottom of this with facts. Clausewitz said (paraphrasing) everything in war is simple but even the simplist things are very difficult. That may be why disinformation in the Ukraine war is so prevalant: it makes the diffucult seem simple to understand.

My RAND colleague Raphael Cohen and I just had this commentary published in Foreign Policy on Ukraine's 1777 moment.

My RAND colleague Rafi Cohen and I have this piece currently running in Foreign Policy where we make the case for cautious optimism in Ukraine.

This four volume RAND history which I co-led might be a useful reference to senior US Army leaders as they think through difficult problems of end strength, modernization, and readiness. It contains numerous data visualization tools.

Hi, I have been off twitter for a while, but I am back up on the net! Here's a link to a recently published RAND study that I co-led. It is a history of “The Third Offset.” I think it offers valuable insights for intellectual change within US DoD.

I was impressed last night listening to an excellent interview with Dr Anne Marie Slaughter at Vassar and moderated by my bro Bob Brigham
