Ukraine's Counteroffensive: A New Way of War?
The conflict in Ukraine highlights the need for the US to adapt to the realities of modern warfare. Developing unconventional military partnerships could be a good place to start. While traditional alliances are still valuable, American forces are learning from Ukrainian soldiers' engagement with a near-peer adversary, something the US hasn't encountered since the Korean War. Many trainers with experience in Iraq and Afghanistan have noted that Ukrainian troops are more motivated and proficient than their counterparts in those countries.
