War has always been a central feature of the way in which the
nations of the world interact with one another. Throughout history,
wars have both built and destroyed great nations. Although the
conduct of war is considered to be the exclusive province of the
military, its effects are felt by the entire population of a
nation. When is war the best option? And how is that conclusion
reached?
Clayton Newell proposes an orderly method for determining whether
or not war is the most appropriate means of solving international
disputes. Using as his base the five paragraph field order format
used by the United States army, the author provides a logical way
to make sense of the chaos of war. He suggests five questions which
need to be addressed before a country's military leadership decides
to use force in order to impose their will on another nation: What
is the situation? What is the object of war? How will the war be
conducted? How will the war be supported? And how will the war be
controlled?
This method for studying war will be familiar to serving officers
and will be invaluable to those studying war or military history.
Presenting the most logical way to look at war, "The Framework of
Operational Warfare" will be of interest to anyone with an interest
in the analysis and logistics of war.
