The Chechen Kadyrovtsy’s Coercive Violence in Ukraine
October 5, 2023
— Chechnya is a region of the Russian Federation, and its native Chechen society is Islamic and tribal, which is very different from Russia's Orthodox and non-tribal society. In the 1990s, Chechnya tried to cede from Russia in the context of the wider Soviet collapse, and Russia waged two wars to try and prevent this. Chechnya won de facto independence in the first war, but Russia would later reinvade and win the second war, where they installed the Kadyrov family as the local collaborator regime to rule this region. ...

A Call to Action: Lessons from Ukraine for the Future Force
September 29, 2023
— Fifty years ago, the US Army faced a strategic inflection point after a failed counterinsurgency effort in Vietnam.

This article suggests changes the Army should make to enable success in multidomain large-scale combat operations at today’s strategic inflection point...

Change and Innovation in the Institutional Army from 1860–2020
August 23, 2023

“Understanding the Adversary: Strategic Empathy and Perspective Taking in National Security”
July 5, 2023
— National security practitioners need to understand the motives, mindsets, and intentions of adversaries to anticipate and respond to their actions effectively. Although some authors have argued empathy helps build an understanding of the adversary, research points to its cognitive component of perspective taking as the more appropriate skill for national security practitioners to have. In this podcast, Dr. Allison Abbe synthesizes previous research on the development and application of perspective taking in analysis and decision making and recommends four ways strategists and practitioners can enhance their ability to gain insight into adversaries...
