Join the RAND corporation for a congressional briefing on Russian military capabilities and how they would be employed in a conflict. RSVP here. 

The FY19 National Defense Authorization Act that was recently passed by the House of Representatives states that it is the policy of the United States to sustain a credible deterrent against aggression and long-term strategic competition from Russia. Deterrence can be enhanced by understanding how an adversary would employ its forces. An important question for policymakers is: How would Russia fight in the event of a major conflict against a peer or near-peer adversary?

Speakers:

Scott Boston, defense analyst at the RAND Corporation, where he focuses on U.S. Army modernization and Russian military capabilities. 

Dara Massicot, policy researcher at the RAND Corporation, where she focuses on security issues in Russia and Eurasia.
