Defeating Surprise?

Abstract

Surprise is an extremely useful technique to employ in warfare. Historically, it has been used with varying degrees of success at the operational level of warfare. In addition, it has normally been reviewed from the view of the attacker. By building a framework that describes the interaction between the attacker and the victim, some insight can develop as to whether surprise can be defeated by the victim.
