The Future Role of Strategic Landpower
August 29, 2023 — Dr. Gregory L. Cantwell, Major Justin M. Magula — IRP by the US Army War College, US Army War College Press, Strategic Studies Institute — "Recent Russian aggression in Ukraine has reenergized military strategists and senior leaders to evaluate the role of strategic Landpower. American leadership in the European theater has mobilized allies and partners to reconsider force postures for responding to possible aggression against NATO members. Although Russian revisionist activity remains a threat in Europe, the challenges in the Pacific for strategic Landpower must also be considered. At the same time, the homeland, the Arctic, climate change, and the results of new and emerging technology also challenge the application of strategic Landpower..."... MORE

Trusting AI: Integrating Artificial Intelligence into the Army's Professional Expert Knowledge
February 8, 2023 — C. Anthony Pfaff, Christopher J. Lowrance, Bre M. Washburn, Brett A.

Expecting free movement of forces in mobilization, movement to ports of embarkation, and deployment against the nation’s adversaries is beneath reason. Two oceans and benevolent neighbors to the north and south can no longer be considered a significant buffer against internal and external enemies. Adversaries of the United States will seek to disrupt or disable the movement of its forces long before they can be placed in combat against foes overseas, and the nation must be prepared for this opposition."...
