Army Lt. Gen H.R. McMaster, director of the Army Capabilities Integration Center, is at work on a secret study to assess the threat Russia poses to the United States, according to a scoop from Politico. Dubbed the "Russia New Generation Warfare Study," the study is expected to have a strong influence on Army training and procurement in the near future. Among the early conclusions are that Russian artillery and anti-tank weapons pose a greater risk to the kinds of relatively light American armor the U.S. has relied on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Russian political subversion -- given the hot new buzzword "hybrid warfare" -- also registers as a concern in the study.
