Compare and Contrast Transformation Efforts
Abstract
Throughout history, militaries have been accused of fighting the last war. Each new conflict brings about unforeseen challenges which often mandate adaptation or a need to transform. Failure to transform appropriately can lead to defeat, either immediately or during the next conflict. The Armys ongoing transformation effort is correctly structured to prepare the Army to defeat future threats from traditional, as well as emerging, adaptive, asymmetric threats posed by non-state actors, while simultaneously engaging Al-Qaeda and other guerrilla forces in counter-insurgency campaigns on two fronts. Comparing and contrasting transformation efforts today to those of the past will show how well our organization has restructured to defend our Nation.
