Description
xExperts explore how armies must adapt to modern threats, human factors, and evolving technology in warfare.
The world is less safe than it has been for more than half a century - there is a storm coming. The first duty of any nation's government is to secure the safety of its people, and therefore the first duty of any nation's army is to be ready to fight and win the nation's wars. It would be both naive and irresponsible to assume that anyone can accurately predict the nature, scale or timing of the security problems that are approaching, and war has been (mercifully) distant from the capitals of western officialdom. Economic circumstance combined with social demands have meant that increasingly little resource has found its way into nations' security preparations. But there are too many indicators and warnings that simply can no longer be ignored. So, what is being done to be ready for the coming storm? Storm Proofing offers the collected thoughts of fifteen experts - respected practitioners and academics from the UK, US and Europe. They consider what is being done, whether that is sufficient, and how we might think differently about our preparations for Twenty-first Century war on land. This is not a book about numbers of troops and equipment, it is rather more human than that. So, it is about how we approach war, how armies might structure themselves and align themselves to modern contexts, how soldiers should think and might feel and, how all of those very human things relate to the march of technology and artificial intelligence.
