Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, there has been a high volume of publications (articles, tweets, commentaries) purporting to offer insights into the ongoing conflict and its wider implications for the changing character of warfare. While much of this open-source analysis has focused on the technical and tactical levels, some analysts have provided observations about what the fighting means for the future of joint doctrine at the operational and strategic levels.
To determine whether this outpouring of commentary and analysis may contain useful lessons for further consideration, the Doctrine team within the Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC) of the UK Ministry of Defence (which has subsequently become part of the new Integrated Warfare Centre [IWC]) asked RAND Europe to conduct a review of relevant open-source literature and to present implications for UK and NATO joint doctrine. RAND Europe conducted the research as lead of the Global Strategic Partnership, a consortium of organisations providing rolling strategic analysis and academic support to the IWC and Defence Futures, formerly known as DCDC.
