Transformation: The Warfighter's Perspective
Abstract
For people who place themselves in harm's way, it is easy to recognize a "transformational" capability. If you are going to fly a combat sortie into Country X, you analyze everything this adversary can throw at you and assess whether you can/will survive. If he has a lethal capability, like an SA-20, you have to ask, "What system (capability) do I need in order to survive and be combat effective?" If the answers aren't satisfactory from a system perspective for either survival or combat effectiveness, you can then assess your concept of operations to see if there is any way you can increase your odds or effectiveness. If it still looks bad, you start checking for a sinus block or a maintenance nondelivery, or begin the process of groveling to your commander to cancel the mission because failure is imminent!
