Summary of M. Taylor Fravel's Active Defense

Sinopse

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The most recent war involving a great power or its clients is a good example of how the conduct of warfare has changed in the international system, which should create a strong incentive for states to adopt new military strategies if they find a gap between their current capabilities and the expected requirements of future wars.#2 National military strategy is the set of ideas a military organization has for fighting future wars. It is part of but distinct from a state’s grand strategy. National military strategy explains or outlines how the armed forces will be used to achieve military objectives that advance the state’s political goals.#3 Military strategy is associated with the concept of doctrine. Doctrine is the principles of strategic-level activities by a military or a state. However, many modern militaries use doctrine to refer to the principles or rules that govern any type of activity, at any level, that a military organization conducts.#4 Change in military strategy is closely associated with the concept of innovation. However, change is different in one important respect. While many scholars use innovation as another word for change, others define innovation in military organizations as a change that is unprecedented or revolutionary, a significant departure from past practice, and a change that has been successfully institutionalized or implemented within a military organization.
