I’ve been Googling, but maybe I’m doing it wrong.

Has there been any publicly available analysis of the Russian action in Georgia? Specifically, how the military stacked up, and how it relates to Russian doctrinal changes and force usage?

I know the small scale of the theater probably led to a minimum of logistical issues, but any notes on those would be good too.

Thanks in advance, oh military savvy dopers!
