Tomorrow's war : thinking otherwise

In Asia, in Africa and to the gates of Europe itself, war has
returned in strength and in new guises whilst the planet
continually rearms. Still hoping for a peace dividend, or even
thinking that this is a definite given, would be a dangerous
mistake; the violence that flares up and rumbles, seemingly
far from our shores, is not, in effect, halted by the old barriers.
The coming decades will produce times of crisis and war
because we have gone back to an era of permanent conflict.
We must therefore prepare for war, for tomorrows war, and
adapt our armed forces accordingly.


Tomorrow's war, however, is not that of yesterday, that for
which we have been preparing for a long period of time. The
difficulties encountered today by classic military power, that
was founded on strength, must now encourage us to expand
our thinking in this regard. We must think differently.


It is this that the author invites us to do in analysing the
evolution of new types of conflict and then detailing the
conditions which strike him as being vital in terms of a new
military effectiveness.
