Chapters in the first part examine themes across critical dimensions of modern warfare, including warfighting domains, manoeuvre warfare, command and control, urban warfare, military health services and logistics. The second part explores organization, technology, and training, with chapters examining experiences in force generation, intelligence collection and sharing, and the integration of new technologies, particularly the rapid evolution and employment of unmanned aerial vehicles. Finally, the volume provides a chronological set of five case studies, tracing the impact of critical phases of Russia's war in Ukraine from 2014 to 2025.
