Why are some military organizations more adept than others at
reinventing themselves? Why do some efforts succeed rapidly while
others only gather momentum over time or become sidetracked or even
subverted? This book explicates the conditions under which military
organizations have both succeeded and failed at institutionalizing
new ideas and forms of warfare. Through comparative analysis of
some classic cases - US naval aviation during the interwar period;
German and British armour development during the same period; and
the US Army's experience with counter-insurgency during the Vietnam
War - the authors offer a novel explanation for change rooted in
managerial strategies for aligning service incentives and norms.
With contemporary policy makers scrambling to digest the lessons of
recent wars in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as to meet the
unfolding challenges of the new revolution in military affairs
(RMA), understanding the sources and impediments to transformation
has become critical.
