Adaptation as Advantage in Modern Warfare

What really separates winning militaries from losing ones? It may come down to something far less tangible than weapons or technology.In today’s episode, host Ken Miller sits down with Brian Clark, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, to explore a critical – and often overlooked – factor shaping modern warfare: adaptation. Drawing on insights from recent conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, the conversation examines how the ability to adjust in real time can determine success on the battlefield.Together, they unpack how rapidly evolving technologies, shifting tactics, and organizational agility are redefining what military advantage really looks like today, without relying on any single breakthrough capability.Find the full report at the Hudson Institute. We invite you to share your thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes by emailing host Ken Miller at [email protected] or by visiting us on our Instagram @fromthecrowsnestpodcast.To learn more about today’s topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.
