Culture has an enormous influence on military organizations and
their success or failure in war. Cultural biases often result in
unstated assumptions that have a deep impact on the making of
strategy, operational planning, doctrinal creation, and the
organization and training of armed forces. Except in unique
circumstances culture grows slowly, embedding so deeply that
members often act unconsciously according to its dictates. Of all
the factors that are involved in military effectiveness, culture is
perhaps the most important. Yet, it also remains the most difficult
to describe and understand, because it entails so many external
factors that impinge, warp, and distort its formation and
continuities. The sixteen case studies in this volume examine the
culture of armies, navies, and air forces from the Civil War to the
Iraq War and how and why culture affected their performance in the
ultimate arbitration of war.
