In this episode, Professor John Gordon and I discuss his course, Advanced Modern Conventional Military Operations. Our conversation goes chronologically, covering military advancements from the onset of World War One through Afghanistan, and beyond.

Part 1 focuses on tactical, operational, and strategic military advancements in the modern conventional era from just before World War One through the Korean War, which Prof. Gordon calls America’s "last truly conventional war." In this episode, we discuss how the advent of new technologies throughout the era forever changed the theater of war.
