A new era of great power competition places a strategic premium on the efficiency with which states can pursue their aims. There is therefore likely to be an expanded scope for partnered operations. Partner force capacity building has a long history, with very mixed results, yet there is little historical memory in the institutions tasked with carrying it out. War by Others Means uses archival research, interviews with practitioners, and observation of capacity building to understand why states undertake it, how they should select, train and equip their partners, and how they should manage the generation and withdrawal of trainers.

The liberation of Mosul and recapture of Raqqa from the Islamic State were two of the most costly and fiercely contested battles of the 21st century so far. The Mosul operation took 90,000 troops nine months to complete, This has cemented partner force capacity building as a favoured policy option to achieve military objectives.

The contrast between the failure of recent large, expeditionary counterinsurgency operations and the apparent success of a number of low-profile operations carried out by, with and through local partners has sparked a renewed interest in a wide range of indirect military strategies. Whether framed as proxy warfare, in practice these operations amount to the deployment of small, specialist liaison teams tasked with sharing skills, knowledge and capabilities to encourage non-sovereign forces to risk their lives to support the patrons interests.

In the UK, this indirect approach is becoming the foremost priority in defence. In 2020, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) published the Integrated Operating Concept (IOpC), which incorporates the Specialised Infantry Group (Spec Inf Gp), tasked with generating long-term training missions.
