Using lessons drawn from recent history including the war in Ukraine, "Boots on the Ground" looks at ground warfare and how wars will be fought in the coming decade. Each chapter details one key aspect of modern land warfare, assessing the technologies and tactics in use at the sharp end. From artillery, nicknamed the "God of War", to combat engineering, to the so-called "battlefield taxis" or Infantry Fighting Vehicles, each chapter is packed full of detail and unpublished photographs.
"Boots on the Ground" also reveals the increasing importance of the "grey zone" and how cyber operations will have a direct impact on operations. Including case studies from conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Ukraine, this book offers a fascinating insight into how the armies and battlefields of the future will look.
