About this event

JSOU Snapshot is a series of short learning videos made just for you, busy special operations professionals, to educate and inform on topics of interest, confusion, controversy, and question. The objective of these short videos is to teach or clarify concepts that are important for you to know, in 5 minutes or less. In this video, we ask "What lessons has SOF learned in Ukraine that might be useful in Taiwan?" Based on a recent JSOU publication, this is a short summary of “SOF Quills for the Porcupine: Applying Lessons from Ukraine to Taiwan. In a rapidly changing global landscape, the United States faces new challenges from rising powers. China, in particular, has emerged as a primary long-term threat to U.S. national security. To counter this, the U.S. must draw lessons from recent conflicts, such as Russia's invasions of Ukraine, and apply them to potential flashpoints like Taiwan. Keep an eye out for more JSOU Snapshots in the near future!
