Design and Planning of Campaigns and Operations in the Twenty-First Century

In this Land Warfare Studies Centre Study Paper, Chris Smith explores ways to improve the design of campaigns and operations in the 21st Century. In this volume, Smith explores the evolution of modern warfare, operational art and strategy, and their mastery in the Australian context. As Smith articulates, the problems of strategy and operational art are unique and dynamic, requiring practitioners to maintain an adaptive mental stance and approach to problem solving, and exercise bold action when necessary.
