On March 14, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Kyle Atwell hosted Dr. Alexandra Chinchilla and Lieutenant General (ret.) Mark Hertling for an episode of the Irregular Warfare Podcast. This episode, titled “Ukraine’s Hidden Front: The Strategic Impact of Resistance Operations,” examines the military implications of Ukrainian resistance efforts, the role of technology in the war, cooperation between special operations and conventional forces, and what lessons can be applied to future conflict.
Forward Defense, housed within the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, generates ideas and connects stakeholders in the defense ecosystem to promote an enduring military advantage for the United States, its allies, and partners. Our work identifies the defense strategies, capabilities, and resources the United States needs to deter and, if necessary, prevail in future conflict.
