So what’s @NATO ever done for the U.S.? A relevant question this week as @SecGenNATO spoke to President Trump. In short, the alliance helps America protect prosperity at home, project power abroad & gain international legitimacy. My take for @dwnews m.youtube.com/watch?v=BrfWtk…

In the latest edition of Cyber Effects Perspectives, Tacita McCoy-Parkhill argues for the potential of 'Hunt Forward' operations in allied networks as a way for the UK to better integrate its defensive and offensive cyber capabilities. Such operations would allow the UK to build trust with key allies and gain useful insights into the particular environments in which the allies operate as well as adversary activity in the region by deploying UK cyber personnel to selected countries. rusi.org/explore-our-re…

'For peninsula contingency planners, the implications are clear: the force that sits across from US and ROK Forces today is significantly more dangerous than the one that existed just two years ago.' writes @JohnHemmings2 in the latest #RUSICommentary. rusi.org/explore-our-re…

'Rutte’s meetings in Washington this week may be the toughest in his long political career. He has to ease transatlantic tensions ahead of the Ankara summit, to ensure that the flow of US arms and intelligence to Ukraine does not entirely stop and to restate why Europe remains vital to US national security.'

'By the early 1990s, Iran had shifted its biological weapons research away from dedicated military sites and embedded it within civilian institutions – the Razi and Pasteur Institutes chief among them.'

What does ‘lethality’ really mean for the British Army? New research from Nick Reynolds and @Jack_Watling argues it can’t be reduced to a single number and must be understood as the sustained output of combat power in modern warfare. Lethality underpins the armed forces’ core role but treating it as a single metric risks obscuring reality. Lethality is shaped by interdependent factors, not just firepower or platform performance. Overemphasis on technology risks fragile forces. Precision, and command and control gains can’t compensate for limited stockpiles or industrial capacity; endurance is decisive in protracted, high-intensity conflict. The report proposes measuring lethality across four metrics: overmatch, potential, endurance and efficiency, capturing both battlefield performance and the ability to sustain combat over time. It calls for force design grounded in real operational needs, prioritising stockpiles, industrial capacity and targeted overmatch against likely adversaries, not abstract ‘lethality multipliers.’ rusi.org/explore-our-re…
