Sample Book Insights:
#1 Military strategy is the practice of reducing an opponent’s physical capacity and willingness to fight, and continuing to do so until one’s aim is achieved. It takes place in wartime as well as peacetime, and may involve using force, directly or indirectly, as a threat.
#2 The practice of military strategy has always been about finding ways to weaken an adversary’s material capacity and willingness to fight with respect to one’s aims. Grand strategy is the concern of the head of state, and it is often but not always separate from the business of the general.
#3 Grand strategists and military commanders attempt to out-position their rivals by building alliances and coalitions, or by securing treaties and agreements that increase or preserve their power relative to their rivals.
#4 Military strategy is the equivalent of national military strategy in contemporary defense literature. It describes how a state will use its military power in pursuit of its policy goals.

Military strategy is the practice of reducing an opponent’s physical capacity and willingness to fight, and continuing to do so until one’s aim is achieved. It takes place in wartime as well as peacetime, and may involve using force, directly or indirectly, as a threat.

#2

The practice of military strategy has always been about finding ways to weaken an adversary’s material capacity and willingness to fight with respect to one’s aims. Grand strategy is the concern of the head of state, and it is often but not always separate from the business of the general.

#3

Grand strategists and military commanders attempt to out-position their rivals by building alliances and coalitions, or by securing treaties and agreements that increase or preserve their power relative to their rivals.

#4

Military strategy is the equivalent of national military strategy in contemporary defense literature. It describes how a state will use its military power in pursuit of its policy goals.

#5

The Lykke equation is a basic framework for discussing the specifics of a strategy. It divides military strategy into three essential components: ends, ways, and means. However, no scientific method exists for determining how much military power is enough or when balance is achieved.

#6

Military strategy is a practice that combines the objective knowledge of science with the subjective knowledge of an art. It is the ability to perform specific combat missions in a given situation.

#7

There are many types of military strategy. The most common are annihilation, dislocation, attrition, exhaustion, coercion, deterrence, terror, and decapitation. Annihilation and dislocation seek to reduce an adversary’s physical capacity to fight in a single battle or lightning campaign.

#8

Attrition and exhaustion are the polar opposites of annihilation and dislocation.
