Milstack Saturday
18 July 2026

Milstack Saturday showcases the best articles I read on Substack in the past seven days.
Ben Duval compares two different explanations of warfare in the twentieth century. (In 1988, the author of one of them said something mean about me.)
Andreas Turenen provides a précis of the strike tactics of Russian Aerospace Forces. (If you ever need a précis written, hire a Finn.)
My Favorite Amphibian™ sings a paean to the ‘perfectly named Corsair’. (And, in doing so, saves us from confusing it with either the F4U, the A7, or a luxury SUV.)
The PLA Brief offers an overview of the integrated training system of the Chinese armed forces. (As buzzwords abound in this piece, I recommend starting with a key-word search on the term ‘force-on-force’.)
Robert Gortner, of the American Marines, treats readers to a multi-part decision making exercise. (Here at the Old Headquarters Building, we old-timers still call that sort of thing a ‘tactical decision game’.)
