Part II(What went Wrong) is here

After 737 days of war across Gaza, Lebanon, and beyond, I surveyed over 50 Israeli soldiers to conduct a full After Action Review (AAR) of the Israel Defense Forces’ performance.

This video — Part 1: What Went Right — covers the IDF’s standing advantages, combined arms tactics, fire coordination, logistics, professionalism, and medical systems. It’s a ground-level look at how Israel adapted, fought, and learned through one of the most complex multi-front conflicts in modern history.

Future videos in this series will cover What Went Wrong and What You Can Do To Improve:. These are lessons not just for Israel, but for NATO and U.S. forces preparing for the next war.

If you want early access to the full AAR series, the complete whitepaper, and the briefing slideshow I present to military audiences join me at
