Generally, I like to live in something close to a routine, I have had trouble finding anything close to that in the last few days… For your must read article of the day, I suggest the Modern War Institute\u2019s: Jihadism is Spreading to the Gulf of Guinea Littoral States, and a New Approach to Countering It is Needed<\/a>. I\u2019m not going to lie, I had to look up what the \u2018Gulf of Guinea Littoral States\u2019 were, which led me to a new source for information, The Institute for Security Studies and this article: Gulf of Guinea piracy: a symptom, not a cause, of insecurity<\/a> which is definitely also worth your time. I have a feeling we are all going to be getting familiar with this region in next few years. But before we jump too far ahead, The Asia Times and Foreign Affairs take a look at America\u2019s Perennial Pakistan Problem<\/a>. There is no question that Pakistan has been a thorn in our side the last 20 years. For something completely different, The Asia Times\u2019: Kim parades at midnight but China muffles his guns<\/a> definitely fits the bill. Or if a military parade in hazmat suits doesn\u2019t do it for you, how about Texas Just Got Rad-Looking 3D-Printed Military Barracks<\/a> from Popular Mechanics? What\u2019s not to like about the largest 3D printed structure in the United States? All of this and more in Today\u2019s Daily Dump.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the Cognitive Raider Initiative, The Cognitive Warrior Project has put together a daily list of diverse articles that can easily be chosen from to play a part in developing a more mentally agile warfighter that embraces the adaptation required for tomorrow\u2019s battlefield. Our intent is to create a space where you can choose one or two articles a day (about 10 minutes) instead of mindlessly scrolling social media.<\/p>\n

As a reminder: The Cognitive Warrior Project is a private media site, and it is not affiliated in any way with Special Operation Forces, the Department of Defense or the U.S. Government. None of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, DoD or Space Force have endorsed, supported, directed, or participated in the creation of the content at this site, or in the creation of the site itself. It\u2019s just a media site that happens to cover the U.S Military, DoD and other National Intelligence Assets.<\/em><\/p>\n
