In Firepower: Making 21st Century Warfare Decisive Colonel John
Musgrave provides a detailed analysis of the role of firepower in
the last hundred years of warfare. He establishes which methods led
to military victories that could be successfully turned into peace,
and why, in contrast, recent conflicts have led to endemic
guerrilla warfare and frozen conflicts. He argues that the West has
discarded a proven way of war that valued decisive engagement,
achieved through the use of firepower, in favour of one that
weaponises information concepts and technology in constant, but
never fully resolved, engagement. In contrast, the West's likely
enemies have increased their focus on firepower on the conventional
battlefield, investing in missiles and artillery, and demonstrating
their dominance in a series of recent conflicts. This book argues
that Western armies can, and should, develop ground force
capabilities - based on battle-proven lines modified by emerging
technology - to deter aggressive challenge to the current world
order.
