My latest in @usniproceedings.bsky.social.

"By planning for challenges in a war with China similar to those it faced in the war with Japan, the Marine Corps will be postured to fight not just in the war’s opening phases, but also through the war’s end." #WriteFightWin

My latest in #MarineCorps Gazette: "Digging is Winning."

My latest in @warontherocks.bsky.social, discussing the debate around the MEF Information Group (MIG).

I critique some of the ways this discussion was previously framed, and recommend a more sound approach for assessing the #MIG's utility. #WriteFightWin

My latest for the @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social.

My latest for the @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social.
