	Military strategy - RecipeFacts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Military strategy was one of a triumvirate of "arts" or "sciences" that govern the conduct of warfare; the others being tactics, the execution of plans and manœuvering of forces in battle, and logistics, the maintenance of an army.
		The strategy he formulated was the Schlieffen Plan, defending in the east while concentrating for a decisive victory in the west, after which the Germans would go on to the offensive in the east.
		Influenced by Jomini's principles of strategy, he saw that in the coming wars, where economic strategy could be as important as military strategy, control of the sea granted the power to control the trade and resources needed to wage war.

	Military Strategy and Tactics
		Military strategy and tactics are essential to the conduct of warfare.
		Strategy, for example, literally means "the art of the general" (from the Greek strategos) and originally signified the purely military planning of a campaign.
		In the 19th and 20th centuries, however, with the rise of mass ideologies, vast conscript armies, global alliances, and rapid technological change, military strategy became difficult to distinguish from national policy or "grand strategy," that is, the proper planning and utilization of the entire resources of a society--military, technological, economic, and political.

		Basil Henry Liddell Hart (October 31, 1895 _ January 29, 1970) was a military historian and is considered among the great military strategists of the 20th century.
		In strategy the longest way round is often the shortest way there; a direct approach to the object exhausts the attacker and hardens the resistance by compression, whereas an indirect approach loosens the defender's hold by upsetting his balance.
		Later he began publishing military histories and biographies of great commanders who, he thought, were great because they illustrated the principles of good strategy.

	Strategy Process and Principles: back to the basics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Strategy is a "two-actor" art form in which the strategist must consider both his plan and the opponent's reaction.
		Even in the context of the strategy process, the classic differentiation still seems relevant in the sense that tactics govern the use of forces on the battlefield while grand strategy and military strategy bring forces to the battlefield.
		The basics of the strategy process and the associated principles of strategy form a framework for a reappraisal and a basis to evaluate proposed alternatives.

		Others champion the extreme of military withdrawal that ignores both the risks of terrorism emanating from Iraq and a collapse of American influence throughout the region.
		Military action by the United States, all NATO allies and 11 other countries that have formed the International Security Assistance Force has experienced some success, as have the provincial reconstruction teams working with the security force.
		Finally, if the United States is not to be consumed by open-ended military engagement in the Middle East, it needs to foster creation of a new regional security system, potentially embracing all regional states that are prepared to choose a course of reciprocal security rather than efforts at national aggrandizement.

		As a reaction to her WWI experience, France entered World War II with a purely defensive doctrine, epitomised by the "impregnable" Maginot Line.
		There was still room for triumphs of strategy of manouever such as Sherman's March to the Sea in 1864, but these depended upon an enemy's willingness to not entrench.
		France, still used to stationary World War I strategies, was completely suprised and summarily overwhelmed by Hans Guderian's Panzer Corps.

		Though the depth is limited, the examples successfully illustrate the 12 principles, such as the Principle of the Objective, the Principle of the Offensive.
		Each principle is edified through military examples, and at the end of each chapter Tracy describes how readers can apply the principle to improve business or grow professionally.
		That's best demonstrated in the chapter on the Principle of Mass, in which Tracy begins with a quote from Napoleon about "dispensing with nothing if you must fight a battle" and continues with a brief description of the Battle of Isandhwana, in which the British were defeated because they divided their forces.

		The fundamental operating principle of the Alliance is that of common commitment and mutual cooperation among sovereign states in support of the indivisibility of security for all of its members.
		The role of the Alliance's military forces is to assure the territorial integrity and political independence of its member states, and thus contribute to peace and stability in Europe.
		The Alliance's military forces, which have as their fundamental mission to protect peace, have to provide the essential insurance against potential risks at the minimum level necessary to prevent war of any kind, and, should aggression occur, to restore peace.

		Such a strategy first probes and withdraws to determine the opposition's strengths, forces opponents to stretch their commitments, then concentrates its resources, attacks a clear exposure, overwhelms a selected market segment, and builds a bridgehead, before regrouping and expanding from that base to dominate a wider field.
		This is compatible with, say, the principle of concentration, which is similar in that superior combat power must be focussed at the critical time.
		Military strategy incorporates an economy of effort which is not always part of typical management strategy.

		On Saturday, Ullman told Canada's National Post newspaper that the previously untested "shock and awe" military strategy was "being inaugurated in Iraq in its most extreme form, at a level of intimidation on par with the 1945 nuclear attack on Japan" - also carried out by the United States.
		In fact, words used by US military officials to describe the nature of the massive aerial attack on Iraq in the first days - such as "decapitation" - can be traced to their attempt to use Sun's strategy.
		The US military also invoked some of his principles in the 1991 Gulf War, and more recently, books and theories have been written about how Sun Tzu's thinking can be used by the United States in its "war on terrorism" after September 11, 2001.

		The use of prescriptive principles appealed strongly to military educators, and de Jomini wrote for a wide audience that was eager to understand the “secret” of Napoleon’s success.
		Military ties between France and the fledgling United States had grown close during the War of Independence, and generations of West Point engineers had been trained by the “principles” approach.
		For those with the planning mind-set, strategy is formulated through a controlled, conscious, explicit process conducted by the CEO (and a group of planners) in a top-down, formal fashion and emerges fully formed from this process ready for implementation.

		Therefore we have developed an active strategy to help the Andean nations adjust their economies, enforce their laws, defeat terrorist organizations, and cut off the supply of drugs, while—as important—we work to reduce the demand for drugs in our own country.

		We reaffirm the "Code of Conduct" requirement that aid is to be provided wherever it is needed, not as a partisan or political act and not as an instrument of military strategy.
		In accordance with this principle and the moral teachings of our faith, we commit ourselves and call others to ensure the separation of humanitarian assistance from military action during conflicts, now as in the past.
		Military responses that undermine effective humanitarian aid endanger innocent people and deepen this humanitarian crisis, and by so doing, also undermine the prospects for future cooperation against terrorist acts.

	ICRC neutrality and neutrality in humanitarian assistance
		Moreover, by observing the principles of abstention and impartiality from the outset, of its own free will and at all times, the ICRC has won the confidence of States and has been assigned under international rules tasks that were initially based on less solid legal grounds [17].
		However, since these objections do not always draw a distinction between the military and the humanitarian applications of the concept of neutrality, they may be construed as blanket criticism of the principle, covering all the fields to which it may be applied.
		It therefore remains to be established whether assistance distributed by military, police or civilian units involved in a coercive operation, or in a peacekeeping operation with or without coercive powers [69], may be regarded as neutral [70].
