Why Subterranean Warfare Will Play a Pivotal Role in Modern Conflict
Modern warfare is decided less by direct clashes than by attacks on the systems that sustain power — leadership, energy, logistics, communications. Subterranean control protects those systems and renders surface-domain superiority less decisive.
The opening essay of cofounder Asher Katz's four-part series argues that wars are not won solely through decisive battles or tactical brilliance, but increasingly by attacking the underlying systems that sustain a state or organization: leadership, energy, logistics and manufacturing, transportation, public support, food and water, and communications.
Subterranean control protects those systems and renders surface-domain superiority less decisive. The piece closes with the abstract capability areas Traysar is building toward.
