The Red Team Project: Understanding the Enemy

The RUSI Red Team project aims to provide in-depth analysis of the militaries of competitors and adversaries. The subjects we examine range from conceptual developments in the military thinking of key adversaries to more granular discussions of their tactics, techniques, procedures and capabilities. We will provide both multimedia and written analysis of theoretical and practical developments in the military science of rival forces. The purpose of this project is to ensure that Western analysts and practitioners avoid the risk of ‘mirror imaging’ the opponent and retain a clear understanding of the Red Team.
