Navigating Military Complexity

This chapter explores the concept of 'multiple dilemmas' in military strategy, particularly in U.S. and NATO doctrines, and critiques the potential confusion generated by new jargon surrounding these strategies. It challenges traditional beliefs about decision-making in military operations and underscores the importance of a pragmatic understanding of battlefield dynamics, using the Russo-Ukraine War as a case study. The discussion highlights cultural differences in military approaches and the significance of historical interpretations on current military assessments.
