Operational art emerged from the campaigns of Frederick the Great
to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. It was the result of three
dynamic interrelationships: between military and non-military
factors such as social, economic and political developments;
between military theory and practice; and between developments in
military theory and practice in France and Prussia. In the period
1740-1815 a major change in the complexity of warfare took place.
This was reflected by an increase in the complexity of the analysis
of warfare via the introduction of the operational level between
the strategic and tactical levels.The evolution of operational art,
driven by these three dialectical processes, evolved in stages. In
the first stage, Revolutionary France had experimented with
operational art though with limited success. Then, Napoleon had
used it with remarkable success against an adversary clinging to
outdated modes of warfare and organisation. In the final stage,
Napoleon's operational art was successfully challenged by the
Prussian brand.
