With the return of Great Power Competition, characterized by accelerating and massive technological, demographic, and environmental changes—along with challenges posed by a revisionist China, a revanchist Russia, a revolutionary Iran, and a rogue North Korea—the Modern War Institute prepares the Army, as part of the Joint, Combined, and Inter-Agency team, to win future conflicts by shaping the Army and West Point today.
The MWI continuously generates new knowledge and refines existing theories of war by promoting research, informed debate, and discussion among military and national security professionals, policymakers, and academics. It then integrates these insights into USMA’s military and academic programs, the broader Army, and our Joint, Combined, and Inter-Agency partners.
