Operational art emerged from the campaigns of Frederick the Great
to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. It was the result of three
dynamic interrelationships: between military and non-military
factors such as social, economic and political developments;
between military theory and practice; and between developments in
military theory and practice in France and Prussia.
In the period 1740-1815 a major change in the complexity of warfare
took place. This was reflected by an increase in the complexity of
the analysis of warfare via the introduction of the operational
level between the strategic and tactical levels. The evolution of
operational art, driven by these three dialectical processes,
evolved in stages. In the first stage, Revolutionary France had
experimented with operational art though with limited success.
Then, Napoleon had used it with remarkable success against an
adversary clinging to outdated modes of warfare and organization.
In the final stage, Napoleon's operational art was successfully
challenged by the Prussian brand.
