Alas, one hardly knows where to begin. There is little to applaud in the Army Operating Concept. After all, just the idea of using the Army Operating Concept as an AUSA strategic communications document is utterly bizarre and inimical to the purpose of a futures concept.
President Putin made three foundational assumptions in launching his war against Ukraine that should have been correct but were not.

Third, Putin assumed the war would deter NATO expansion.
