U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command: Russian New Generation Warfare Study
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze how Russian forces and their proxies employ disruptive technologies in the conduct of modern warfare; identify enhanced Russian capabilities; identify implications for the U.S. Army; and recommend actions the Army should take to ensure overmatch against Russian capabilities. This Russian New Generation Warfare (RNGW) study assesses recent Russian operations, published Russian doctrine and other strategic documents, and U.S. and foreign assessments of Russian modernization. Based on that assessment, this study determines how future Army forces, operating as part of joint and multi-national teams, must fight to defeat capable enemies, control terrain, and project combat power to obtain operational advantage and achieve strategic objectives. It identifies critical capability gaps, capacity shortfalls, and implications for Army force design, concepts, modernization, and doctrine. The RNGW study examines Russian capabilities; it does not assess Russian intentions.
