Military Strategy and Conflict Projection

US Army Lt. Gen. Joseph Ryan stated that the military draws lessons from combat operations in Ukraine and applies them to potential conflicts in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East. He noted that these extrapolations also include the southern border, where the US army assists in controlling illegal migration from Mexico. Ryan concluded by stating that the idea of a fundamental change in the army's role in future conflicts is overstated.
