"To fall behind today is to cede an almost unquantifiable advantage from which it might be impossible to recover”. Army CGS closes the #RUSILWC by highlighting the need to modernise the way the Army thinks, and prepares, itself for future conflict.

Dr Strohn presents the German perspectives as part of the #RUSILWC Historians’ Analysis of Overlord

“A tank is like a dinner jacket: you don’t need them very often, but when you do, nothingelse will do.” Major General Kathryn Toohey, Australian Army, RUSI Land Warfare Conference 2019 @HLCAusArmy @RUSI_org #RUSILWC

#wavellspeaks! The Wavell Room session at #RUSILWC is about to start!

MBDA concept for future precision Land Fire Concept Launcher on display at #RUSILWC Uses Brimstone seeker, but is a new missile. Range should be < 20 km. Note Boxer mission module. UK AI and Strike Brigades both need this capability.

#RUSILWC Day two starts with the quote of the conference from Professor Peter Roberts - Virtual presence is actual absence! 💥💥💥

The first speaker of #RUSILWC is @ArmyCGS Our experiences in COIN will come to be viewed as an aberration, the paradigm we must operate in is State on State warfare, remembering the criticcal importance of technology and ourpeople.

Good morning from the second day of @RUSI_org #RUSILWC and a glorious morning it is in the heart of Westminster. You can follow the action on this timeline and on the Live Stream on MoDNet and Defence Connect.

I’m a fan of the @ArmySgtMajor. So I enjoy a good joke about dress standards to start off the talk. ‘Look at Montgomery! Tank trousers, RAF flying jacket, paisley scarf and two cap badges!’ #RUSILWC

That's it folks, the end of the #RUSILWC for another year! We hope you'll join us again in 2020. Thank you for watching and taking part in this phenomenal event.

Fascinating discussion at #RUSILWC with historical analysis of Operation Overlord. Particularly interesting is Dr Matthias Strohn’s perspectives of the German point of view of the campaign.

.@POTUS is not the only senior US figure in London this week! LTG Wesley @EricWesleyArmy is speaking on MDO and fighting in denied environments at the #RUSILWC. @armyfutures @BritishArmy

I spoke to Northrop Grumman about their new XM913 50 mm Bushmaster chain gun at #RUSILWC It seems likely that it will have a depleted uranium APFSDS anti-armour round with significantly greater penetration than the UK's CT40 cannon. (Images: @Krisosbornko)

Prof Michael Goodman explains the history of the Joint Intelligence Committee, created in 1936 to look at threats and lessons. From 'Torch' onwards JIC was involved in every operation, Overlord was no exception. Used to assess what the Germans knew of Overlord. #DDay75 #RUSILWC

Really excited.. This year’s LWC is about to kick off.. #RUSILWC Check out the speakers on day 1!

Excellent speech by UKDefSec @PennyMordaunt at #RUSILWC Says #dday75th reminds us of importance of people and service. Government will prioritise pay and conditions for soldiers as well as deliver on the promise of Army regeneration. Deep sense that she gets Defence.

LAND WARFARE DEVELOPMENTS (Thread) The @RUSI Land Warfare Conference #RUSILWC is an important annual gathering of British Army leadership and strategic thinkers to explore emerging trends in Land Warfare. This year’s theme was about securing a competitive advantage. 1 of 20

Our first session back, comes in conjunction with the @wavellroom, it is entitled, 'The Disrupters', and is a way for relatively junior officers and civilians to challenge military norms. #RUSILWC

Samuel Bendett speaks about the Russian Way of Innovation #RUSILWC - Innovation doesn't happen in a vacuum, it takes institutional buy-in. The Russians don't have a big budget but they prioritise innovation and experimentation to stay in touch with their Western opponents.
