Defending Inlandia: A Flawed Deployment Doctrine.

Abstract

Getting to the battle ready to fight is half of the operational challenge. Unfortunately this is an area in which joint doctrine is designed for the last war, not the next. We must reevaluate how to mass the effects of combat power in a theater to fight and win a future major regional conflict. Warfare has evolved from deploying massed troops and enveloping an enemy on the tactical level to moving troops and equipment into theater on the strategic level. Current doctrine has not gotten beyond the Gulf War experience and assumes a benign environment which may not always exist.
