Modern Warfare & Strategy
Modern conflicts are fast, multidomain and unforgiving to old thinking. This program gives officers, NCOs and specialists a deep understanding of how contemporary wars start, unfold and are won – with a strong focus on lessons from Ukraine and future conflict scenarios.
Modern Warfare & Strategy connects classic military theory with real combat experience and emerging concepts like Mosaic Warfare and Kill Webs. Participants move from big-picture strategy down to small-unit decisions, combining classroom work, staff games and case studies from the Ukrainian war.
