Ask the digest

Questions the Ask assistant couldn't answer. These are sent to the editors automatically (non-classified questions only) to shape the next edition, and listed here so you can review, copy or clear them.

Tell the editors what's useful, what's missing, or what to cover next edition. Non-classified only — this goes straight to the editors.

This digest is the formation-level distillation of the Conflict Studies & Insights weekly brief, which tracks the signals across the five conflict theatres. The weekly answers "what's happening"; this monthly answers "so what — and what to rehearse".

Earlier editions stay available to read, exactly as published.

AI-distilled from open-source reporting. Each serial turns recurring weekly signals into a rehearsable training prompt mapped to a formation across the three packages — Manoeuvre & Expeditionary, Sense & Strike and CS & CSS. It is not cleared intelligence or doctrine.

The weekly brief tracks Russia–Ukraine, Israel–Lebanon, Israel–Gaza, Israel–US–Iran and Thailand–Cambodia. This edition's serials, across all three packages, draw from Russia–Ukraine, Israel–Lebanon, Israel–Gaza, Thailand–Cambodia and Sudan; Israel–US–Iran is tracked weekly but yielded no serial this edition.
