HOW US ADVERSARIES DIFFER ON INFORMATION WARFARE & CHINA IS THE NEW COLD WAR

9/27/2019

China and Russia Aren’t the Same When It Comes to Information Warfare
By Jake Wallis, The Strategist (ASPI): "China hasn’t tended to resort to the kind of direct, disruptive approach to influence international social media audiences that we’ve come to know from Russia. It has been effective in employing a holistic approach in which language and messaging are used in tandem with other elements of statecraft, including diplomatic, military and economic efforts."

Information Warfare and Neuro-Weaponry
By Zac Rogers, The Strategist (ASPI): "The insights of the cognitive neurosciences over the past two decades have been rich and enlightening. Many of them will be used in pursuit of furthering human wellbeing. But many, of course, will be employed in the everchanging means by which human beings make war."
The U.S.-China Rivalry as Seen in the Cold War’s Rear-View Mirror
By Ian Li, Strategy Bridge: "The past is, of course, no crystal ball to the future, but a close study of history nonetheless cultivates a sense of perspective one can use to interpret the present and anticipate the possibilities of what is to come. The Cold War therefore serves as a rear-view mirror of sorts, helping to contextualise current developments while informing the decisions to be made."

CHINA:
China's Military Wants to Control These 2 Waterways in East Asia

CHINA:
China Unveils Supersonic Spy Drone During Parade Rehearsal

​Dropping DIMEs:
Leveraging All Elements of National Power on the Multi-Domain Battlefield

By Brandon Morgan, Modern War Institute: “... since the unconditional surrenders of Germany and Japan in 1945, the world has iteratively progressed to an era where US competitors and peer adversaries have been able to establish a complex of integrated air defenses, cyber, rocket, drone, informational, proxy forces, and nuclear fires. This makes unconditional surrender increasingly difficult to coerce and massive, land-based thrusts deep into the enemy’s political capital extremely risky—and thus irrelevant as a military planning factor to achieve success in great-power conflict."
15 Years After the Iraq War's Deadliest Battle, Marines Fight to Save Their Comrades
By Gina Harkins, Military.com: "Operation Phantom Fury, the second chapter of the fight to retake Fallujah from Iraqi insurgents, will forever be known to Marines. It was the service's bloodiest urban combat since the Vietnam War's Hue City, and incredible examples of combat heroism and famous images of brotherhood emerged from the fight."

The U.S. Marine Corps Uses the 'Rule of 3' to Organize Almost Everything
By Bill Murphy Jr., Inc.: " It all started with a copy of Inc. magazine that my dad handed me back in 1998."
How many Marines does it take to make an expeditionary base?
(Marine Corps Times) The future of new formations and how the Marine Corps is going to fight inside the enemy’s zone is being determined now.
