We strive everyday to embody our motto-Discourse at the Speed of Relevance. So as you can imagine, we are quite pleased to see professional debates blossom from ideas presented in Small Wars Journal.
In July of this year, Dr. Amos Fox of SWJ released “Maneuvering to Obsolescence: The Death Ride of the Armor Branch,” which led to a rebuttal titled, “Enabling Maneuver – Imagining the Next Chapter in Armored Warfare.” These led do solid debates on social media and across the community.
A third piece has entered the ring, “Maneuver Isn’t Dead, Armor Isn’t Obsolete: Modern Battlefield Conditions Encourage Positional Warfare, But Don’t Dictate It,” by Alan Hastings, James Casey and Elijah Leroux.
Read. Reflect. Join the debate.
