Is NATO doctrine—as an outcome of a process of military reform and transformation—sufficient to defeat the conventional forces the size of the Russian Federation’s, or is Russian doctrine more apt at being a better deterrent? This is the general question Frederic Labarre seeks to answer. More particularly, he investigates the causes of the poor performance of the Georgian Armed Forces during the Battle of Tskhinvali as a test case for NATO doctrine vs. Russian/proto-Soviet doctrine of the application of force. This book presents the only complete and detailed analysis of the Battle of Tskhinvali and traces the history of defense reform in Georgia since re-independence to account for the performance of the armed forces in securing Georgia’s sovereignty.Based on eye-witness accounts and field research, the consultation of official documentation, and media reports from the period, it brings into question the validity of the process of defense reform under NATO guidance and serves as a case study to apply against future conflicts the Alliance may yet have to face—as well as Ukraine.
