Book synopsis

This monograph investigates the consistent presence of change as a decisive factor in the history of warfare. It asserts that the phenomenon of change, in and of itself, can be an important contributor to battlefield success. Change can be realized as innovation in technology, environment or doctrine. Its effects are the materiel results of the innovation, the additional advantage realized before the opponent develops an effective response and the dislocating shock effect that may result from battlefield confrontation with the unexpected. Mankind as a whole is generally slow to respond to innovation, providing a period of time in which an innovator can benefit. This conservatism is reinforced by factors common to most large military organizations. Certain conditions are necessary for an Army to capitalize on the effects of change. Many of these conditions exist in the U.S. Army today. The remainder can be developed.
