Ben Connable

A challenge to common assumptions about the future of land warfare

Ground Combat reveals the gritty details of land warfare at the tactical level and challenges today's overly subjective and often inaccurate approaches to characterizing war. Ben Connable's motivation for writing the book is to offer an evidence-based approach to examining the future of war.

Connable created and analyzed an original dataset of more than four hundred global ground combat cases, showing that there was an evolutionary rather than revolutionary shift in the characteristics of ground combat from World War II through the early 2020s. Despite advances in military technology, tanks, artillery, and infantry remain central to how war is waged on land. This book asks listeners to stop and think about the implications of these findings for force planning and future predictions about military-technical revolutions.

This book sets an essential evidentiary baseline for military officers, policymakers, and scholars who think about the future of modern war.
