Doctrine Rewired

In Episode 15 of Doctrine Rewired, we explore the profound implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in military decision-making, focusing on the risks and opportunities AI presents when determining whether to go to war. Using insights from the article by Toni Erskine & Steven E. Miller from the Australian Journal of International Affairs, this episode investigates how AI-driven systems are beginning to influence state-level decisions on resorting to force. We delve into critical discussions around automation in military processes, the integration of AI in decision support systems, and the complex ethical challenges that arise as AI becomes more involved in determining the course of military actions. The episode further examines how the rapid development of AI in defense may reshape geopolitical stability and the decision-making frameworks of modern warfare.

In Episode 14 of Doctrine Rewired, we analyze the Atlantic Council’s thought-provoking report, "The Sixth Domain: The Role of the Private Sector in Warfare". This episode explores the expanding role of private companies in the defense and security sectors, as they increasingly influence warfare dynamics. From cybersecurity and satellite communication services to advanced weapons systems, the private sector has become an integral player in national defense strategies. We discuss how non-state actors are shaping capabilities in key areas like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data analytics—technologies that are redefining the battlefield. Additionally, we consider the implications of these partnerships for military readiness, strategic autonomy, and global security. This episode provides valuable insights into how the traditional boundaries between public and private roles in defense are blurring, raising critical questions about accountability, regulation, and the future of warfare.

In Episode 13 of Doctrine Rewired, we take a deep dive into the Atlantic Council's recent report, "A New NATO Command Structure," exploring how the alliance is reorganizing its command and control framework to better address contemporary security challenges. This episode dissects the strategic shifts NATO is implementing to enhance its responsiveness and flexibility in the face of evolving threats, such as cyber warfare, hybrid operations, and multi-domain conflicts. We examine the recommendations for increasing interoperability among NATO member states, integrating emerging technologies, and reinforcing the alliance’s collective defense posture. The conversation also covers how these changes aim to address the complexity of modern battlefields and improve NATO’s decision-making processes in crisis scenarios. With key insights into the role of artificial intelligence, automation, and robust communication networks, this episode provides a comprehensive understanding of NATO’s transformation in preparing for future conflicts.

In Episode 12 of Doctrine Rewired, we analyze the evolving landscape of U.S. military capabilities and deterrence strategies as presented by Brian Schimpf during a recent congressional testimony and through insights from the "Rebooting the Arsenal" initiative. This episode highlights the current state of U.S. defense innovation, with a focus on the modernization of non-strategic nuclear weapons and the integration of advanced technologies to maintain a credible deterrence posture. We explore the key takeaways from Schimpf's statement, including the need to enhance the resilience and responsiveness of U.S. forces in the face of emerging threats. Additionally, we discuss proposals for leveraging AI, machine learning, and precision-guided munitions to counter adversary advances and ensure effective operational readiness. The conversation extends to addressing concerns about potential gaps in the U.S. nuclear triad and the modernization of associated command and control systems. This episode offers a nuanced perspective on how the United States is reimagining its defense framework to deter adversaries like Russia and China, and underscores the role of cross-domain integration in future conflict scenarios.
