Military Organization in Transition from Garrison to Crisis Environment.
Abstract
The military organization is crisis-oriented since the ultimate goal of such an organization is to win the war. Yet our past experience with military and with the military organizations show that they change a lot in their behavior and characteristics when the transition from garrison to combat occurs. Few studies have been made on the behavior of complex civilian organizations when facing a crisis. Some of the phenomena they observe are applicable to the military organization as well. The amount and the magnitude of changes the military organization suffers when facing crisis might indicate that only a few of the phenomena are addressed in advance through training and by appropriate regulations. An in-depth analysis is made of the changes through which these factors of the military organization undergo while transitioning from garrison to combat environment.
