“Russia views cyber very differently than its western counterparts, from the way Russian theorists define cyberwarfare to how the Kremlin employs its cyber capabilities,” the Center for Naval Analyses’ Michael Connell and Sarah Vogler write in “Russia’s Approach to Cyber Warfare.” “The paper examines the Russian approach to cyber warfare, addressing both its theoretical and its practical underpinnings.”

In “Generations of War: The Rise of the Warrior Caste and the All-Volunteer Force,” the Center for a New American Security’s Amy Schafer examines the relationship between the emergence of a so-called “warrior caste,” which she describes in the report as “a trend in which a large proportion of those who do choose to serve come from military families,” and the growing disconnect between civilians and service members within the US, as well as the future of “the All-Volunteer Force.”

According to a new report from the Center for a New American Security, the globalization of China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy (or PLAN) is a potential threat to the US Navy’s open-ocean dominance. “China’s ability to conduct power projection and amphibious operations around the world will become a fundamental fact of politics in the near future, with significant consequences for the United States and its allies, all of which need to begin preparing for a ‘risen China’ rather than a ‘rising China,’ especially in the realm of maritime security,” CNAS writes.

In “Countering Coercion in Maritime Asia: The Theory and Practice of Gray Zone Deterrence,” a new report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, authors Michael Green, Kathleen Hicks, Zack Cooper, John Schaus and Jake Douglas use “detailed analysis of both deterrence theory and recent incidents of gray zone coercion” to assemble lessons learned for legislators, and suggest “moving beyond tactical scenario analysis to a more strategic deterrence framework for countering Chinese coercion writ large.”
