A CINC's View of Operational Art

Abstract

Even though large forces may be involved in conducting war at the operational level, in the final analysis companies will determine success or failure in war. The job of each level of command is to ensure that companies are in the right place at the right time to do the fighting. General Crosbie E. Saint puts military forces into three categories: fighters, integrators and shapers. He describes how the operational level commander must mold them into an effective fighting force.
