On Operations: Operational Art and Military Disciplines traces the
history of the development of military staffs and ideas on the
operational level of war and operational art from the Napoleonic
Wars to today, viewing them through the lens of Prussia/Germany,
the Soviet Union, and the United States. B. A. Friedman concludes
that the operational level of war should be rejected as
fundamentally flawed, but that operational art is an accurate
description of the activities of the military staff, an
organization developed to provide the brainpower necessary to
manage the complexity of modern military operations. Rather than
simply serve as an intercession between levels, the military staff
exists as an enabler and supporting organization to tacticians and
strategists alike. On Operations examines the organization of
military staffs, which has changed little since Napoleon's time.
Historical examinations of the functions staffs provided to
commanders, and the disciplines of the staff officers themselves,
leads to conclusions about how best to organize staffs in the
future. Friedman demonstrates these ideas through case studies of
historical campaigns based on the military discipline system
developed.
