Introduction
The Book of Abstracts will be the first output of the annual conference. Previous collections of abstracts can be found on the ISMS website (www.isofms.org, under Past Conferences).
Many authors will submit manuscripts developed after the conference to the ISMS ecosystem of peer-reviewed military journals, which publish free online and occasionally in multiple languages. The editors of these journals meet periodically under the umbrella of ISMS to enhance the scholarship of their publications.
The 118 abstracts assembled here hold the potential for many publications and ideas for even
more projects that can make important contributions to military science, national security, and
professional development. Below is a small introduction for each of the working groups and
some interesting abstracts from each. Although they are grouped by working group, readers will
find many cross-cutting themes. Ukraine’s experiences and lessons from its ongoing war for
survival feature prominently. Researchers from NATO’s newest members—Finland and
Sweden—are well represented.
