The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), also known as Understanding War, is a non‑partisan, non‑profit public policy research organization that advances informed understanding of military affairs. ISW produces open‑source, operational‑level analysis—including daily reports, interactive maps, situation updates, research papers, and briefings—targeted at policymakers, military planners, journalists, and the public. It synthesizes field reporting and open‑source intelligence to assess strategy, tactics, and battlefield developments and to inform policy recommendations. ISW’s work is widely cited for timely, accessible analysis of conflicts such as the wars in Ukraine and the broader Middle East.
