This book employs game theory to warfare and in particular to
military operations. It aims at scrutinizing the validity of the
two ideas that have governed the literature on war and warfighting:
One is the Clausewitzian Fog of War, which suggests that he who is
able to "see" through the gunsmoke and observe his opponent's moves
before he has to commit to some strategy himself, should be able to
gain an advantage over that enemy; the other is the tradition of
understanding military conflict as a zero-sum game. Combined, these
ideas seem to imply that war always gives rise to a second-mover
advantage. This book questions the validity of this presumption at
the operational level of military planning. It provides a simple
but rigorous game-theoretic framework in order to analyse
operational alternatives for a whole range of typical conflicts
Western military forces are facing, including the most recent ones
such as Anti-Access/Area-Denial and supporting host nations'
counterinsurgency campaigns.
