In this episode of the Common Mission Podcast, Jim, Rodrigo, and special guest and CMP Executive Director Alex Gallo explore the concept of the "Red Queen problem" within the context of evolving national security challenges. They discuss how the Red Queen problem represents the need for continuous adaptation in the face of changing warfare dynamics and technological advancements.

Discussions emphasize that the national security environment is constantly shifting, and the failure to adapt doctrine to new rules, tactics, and tools can hinder a nation's ability to respond effectively to emerging threats. The conversation also delves into the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where the integration of off-the-shelf drones and conventional weaponry has created a unique and complex warfare scenario. They highlight how the Red Queen problem is particularly relevant in this context, as nations must continually evolve their strategies and technologies to stay ahead. Follow us on social media!
