Back Azimuth Check: A Look at Mongol Operational Warfare

Abstract

The Army is in the midst of formalizing its operating concept for the land component of AirLand Operations (ALO). This concept stresses the avoidance of attritional, mass on mass, linear warfare. ALO seeks quick and decisive victory with minimal losses through strategy, preparation, setting conditions for success, decisive operations, and force reconstitution. This evolutionary concept requires changes in doctrine, training, organization, materiel, and leader development (DTOML). A model provides a useful aid in guiding these required changes. This monograph seeks to find such a model by looking to the past.
