Description

Strategic Assessment in War by Scott Sigmund Gartner explores how military organizations evaluate wartime performance and adjust their strategies accordingly. Gartner's theory suggests that military personnel use quantitative indicators to measure strategy success, but different actors within a government may have varying perspectives on what constitutes success. The author tests his argument using historical case studies, including the British shift to convoys in World War I and the American decision to deescalate in Vietnam after the Tet Offensive. By examining these examples, Gartner demonstrates that his dominant indicator model provides a more accurate prediction of behavior than traditional approaches.
