My new report on #civilian #resilience in the face of potential r military #aggression or acts of war in Taiwan considers resilience through the lens of seven civilian resilience areas. You can read the report here:

Our new report "Building Taiwan's Resilience" discusses Taiwan’s civilian #resilience or "civilian resilience as civilian society’s ability to anticipate, prepare for, mitigate, and survive an act of war and rebuild following the end of hostilities." www.rand.org/pubs/researc...

Helsinki Security Forum starts tomorrow (27.9). This year's theme is broadly speaking Total Defence - building a Transatlantic/European version of it for the 21st century.

I had the pleasure to joint experts on #Taiwan's civil defense at the Global Taiwan Institute to discuss “Taiwan’s Civil Defense: The Race to #Preparedness.” I spoke about #Ukraine, #Baltic states, importance of #emergency #services & #civil #society. globaltaiwan.org/events/taiwa...

I am looking forward to discussing #resilience-building re potential #military #crisis during a Roundtable Discussion on Military Threats in Europe at the House of Representatives of the #Netherlands Defense Committee this Thursday, April 18. www.tweedekamer.nl/debat_en_ver...

Great conversation on Thursday with #Estonian Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur @Georgetown Center for Security Studies. We discussed the changing security landscape, developments in #NATO, Russia's war in Ukraine, Estonian-U.S. security cooperation, and the West's relations with Russia and more.

RAND’s 2023 Annual Report includes two of my reports, (1) Resisting Russia – Insights into Ukraine’s Civilian-based Actions & (2) Great Power Competition and Conflict in Africa in its selected reading lists! Thank you to my research teams! www.rand.org/content/dam/...

Open-source reports have identified failures in the Russian logistics and maintenance system as a key factor in Russia's underperformance in Ukraine.

In this new report, RAND's Marta Kepe outlines what's known about this large and elaborate system.

Great to have an overview of my report on #Russia's #Military Sustainment and #Logistics included in the latest edition of Sirius - Journal for Strategic Analysis (in German). www.degruyter.com/journal/key/...

Welcome to #NATO, #Sweden! www.nato.int/cps/en/natoh...

The Alliance is changing its posture of deterrence by punishment to deterrence by denial. I write how NATO is (re)learning how to defend the Baltics. www.realcleardefense.com/articles/202...

Thank you to the #Irregular Warfare Podcast for inviting Brian Petit and me to talk about #resistance, stay-behind operations, small state strategies & #irregular warfare & #digital age! irregularwarfare.org/podcasts/sta...
