The City Is Not Neutral: Why Urban Warfare Is So Hard
By John Spencer, Modern War Institute: ““Contrary to what is often supposed, urban warfare is not more difficult than other types of warfare.” That’s what a recent article published in the Texas National Security Review argues. The authors believe, in fact, that urban environments are “neutral,” not to be feared—that, as in almost every other environment, the better-trained and more-professional force should have an advantage. Unfortunately, history does not support this notion of urban terrain’s neutrality, nor do the realities of modern warfare."
Making the Most of Spontaneous Civil Engagement:
An Introduction to the Engaged Awareness Cycle

By Andrew J. Bibb, Small Wars Journal: “Civil Affairs (CA) Soldiers, by virtue of their being selected for acceptance into the CA branch, are expected to make the most of every opportunity to improve upon existing relationships and seek to create new opportunities for cooperation in support of U.S. objectives. Consequently, U.S. Army CA doctrine requires that CA Soldiers to be proficient in two tactical tasks: Civil Reconnaissance (CR) and Civil Engagement (CE). The first of these, CR, is always “targeted, planned, and coordinated"[1] and generally not to be conducted in a hasty manner."

China’s Bid for Maritime Primacy in an Era of Total Competition
By Patrick M. Cronin, CIMSEC: "In this decade, the United States Navy may be displaced as the most formidable maritime presence in the Pacific Ocean. China is determined to challenge America’s ability to project military power forward into the Western Pacific."
Behind Moscow’s Arms Control Offensive
By Stephen A. Blank, Eurasia Daily Monitor: "Russia has a long track record of importuning the United States and its allies regarding arms control treaties and negotiations. But the sentiment Moscow presents to the West is far from altruistic."
