Description
The development of military staffs and operational art has undergone significant changes since the Napoleonic Wars. This book examines the history of these concepts from Prussia/Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States, tracing their evolution to the present day. Brett A. Friedman argues that the operational level of war is fundamentally flawed, but that operational art accurately describes the activities of military staffs. These staffs exist as enablers and supporting organizations for tacticians and strategists, rather than simply serving as intermediaries between levels. The book explores how to organize staffs in the future by examining historical cases and the disciplines of staff officers. Friedman's analysis is based on a detailed examination of military staff functions and organization, which has changed little since Napoleon's time. By studying these developments, readers can gain insights into the best ways to structure staffs for effective military operations.
