Ep 033 "CG Excursions: Salvo Competition and the Big Fight"
About this episode
Excursions will be a new addition to the CG universe to cover adjacent conflict issues to the irregular warfare fight.
In the future near-peer and peer fight, salvo competition will be the preeminent means by which one country will kinetically overwhelm the other in a fight. I discuss the way the West is in an existential hazard of being woefully under-prepared to meet the threat if Western forces go toe toe with regional hegemons in the East or West.
