Jungle Warfare

Summarising the presentations and deliberations of delegates, the author presents thinking on the enduring nature of urban warfare, and then considers what is new to the discussion and opportunities for the future. The conference ranges freely and example outcomes include: the potential of the systems/flows approach to make operations quicker and more exact; the fundamental decisive elements of leadership/warriors/ideas; and the imperative to educate, train, and condition “antifragile” military teams and people. This is a quick, recent, surface overview of current thinking and trends.
