The essays, commentaries, and speeches which form this volume were
presented at the Eleventh Military History Symposium at the United
States Air Force Academy. Few events traumatize a nation more than
losing a war. Defeat can bring down an empire, alter national
boundaries, end sovereignty, and dramatically change a society's
social structure. Failures are explained in many ways and are
seldom of a singular nature. Their roots, however, can be traced to
the planning for war. For this reason, no other peacetime activity
should command more attention from military leaders and scholars
than the study of military planning. In reality, commanders prefer
to concentrate on more immediate and understandable concerns -
supplying, training, and fighting. Military historians also prefer
to study combat and the battlefield where the results of all
efforts are starkly evident. Consequently, the Department of
History decided to dedicate its Eleventh Military History Symposium
to the too seldom studied topic of military planning, the
foundation for successful warfare. Office of Air Force History,
United States Air Force.
