Abstract:

Due primarily to geographic and threat variances, Russias military conducts geostrategic planning differently from the United States. Russia is faced with a set of threats, real and imagined, from several vectors across a huge expanse of territory with a rather small population, factors which the U.S. does not confront. This directly impacts the style of planning for the Russian military, as US and NATO planning models do not directly apply. Those seeking to understand Russia ignore these differences at their own peril.
