On November 30, Kyle Atwell, non-resident senior fellow at Forward Defense, co-authored an article in the Military Review journal with Ken Tovo and Anthony Marco. The article argues that irregular warfare and special operations forces will play a significant role in conventional warfare in the upcoming years, especially in large-scale combat operations.
