How do military organizations learn? This book covers an important
instance of military learning in which the United States military
systematically examined the lessons of Israel's decisive victory in
the 1973 Yom Kippur War and applied those lessons towards major
doctrinal and equipment changes. The book relies heavily on Paul
Senge's model of learning organizations outlined in his seminal
work, The Fifth Dimension. Using Senge's model, the book examines
the Departments of the Army, Air Force, and Navy's reactions to the
Yom Kippur War and how they organizationally incorporated-or
ignored-the lessons of the conflict within their force. Using
source documents, including personal memoirs, doctrinal
publications, and individual reflections, the book offers a vital
examination of how militaries can use foreign conflicts to make
substantive and necessary organizational changes. The Yom Kippur
War, particularly the Israeli experience in that conflict, provided
the American military a battle laboratory in which to develop new
warfighting concepts and assess new weapons acquisitions. In its
conclusion, the book offers a cautionary tale that suggests
learning and change do not come automatically to military
organizations. If they are to be successful in the future, military
organizations must embrace learning structures.
