Dr. Sidharth Kaushal rejoins the Sea Control Podcast to talk about amphibious forces in Europe and how they can overcome downsizing navies and A2/AD threats to enhance conventional deterrence in the Baltic and Scandinavia. Dr. Kaushal also discusses how the traditional "Northern Flank" role of the US Marine Corps in the region may change, and what we can learn from watching the employment of Russia’s amphibious forces in Ukraine. Dr. Sidharth Kaushal is Senior Research Fellow, Sea Power, at RUSI. *Note: Since the recording of this podcast Sweden has become a NATO member.
