Small Wars Journal

So I think that's where we'll actually end looking through the text.

we've covered off the four p's and the five d's some great reading for you um there's plenty more in this if you want to give it a read so i'll link it down below and make sure you can get hold of it next we're going to have a look through some of the reviews so firstly from the small wars journal a great website and publisher who provide a good like good military tactics and So they said it's a great primer and something really good to start with.

They praised the 4Ps and the 5Ds and what else was in the report.

Then we had Autonomy Global.

Again, my area of subject matter expertise, if you will, is in the neurocognitive or in the neuro-biocognitive dimension and domains.

The figure that you illustrated for us comes from a paper that my colleague, Dr. Robert Schmidl, Lieutenant General Robert Schmidl, Marine Corps, and I wrote that we have published in the Small Wars Journal.

The idea of reconceptualizing that domain, the cognitive domain, as those three parts also provides what I will call sub-targeting domains that very realistically in 2026 are viable and are valuable as targeting dimensions.

One can target, for example, the biological aspects of an organism to affect their neurobiology, neurophysiology in ways that influence the cognitive dimensions of thought processing, emotions that then can guide behaviors.

You know, we put out a weekly informational series called Strategic Insights that's coming out of the Institute for National Strategic Studies here at National Defense University and coming out of our group.

And, you know, we're trying to publish widely.

We try to get our stuff into Small Wars Journal and to other sort of peer-reviewed journals that are viable not only to the military and intelligence literature, but also to the scientific literature and the philosophical literature, because I think the nature of what it is that we're doing appeals to those broader audiences writ large.

And again, if people want to get in touch with me, they can reach me either at james.j.giordano.edu or they can reach me at james.giordano at georgetown.edu.
