Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

– Giulio Douhet<\/span><\/p>\n

Change before the warfare changes or rather –\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BE THE CHANGE<\/span><\/p>\n

It may be said that warfare has acquired a new phase – technological war. In the past, research and development were only preparation for the final and decisive testing of new systems in battle. Today the kind and quality of systems which a nation develops can decide the battle in advance and make the final conflict a mere formality or can bypass conflict altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

– Hap Arnold<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have a plan A &\u00a0 have a plan B – More\u00a0 important <\/span><\/p>\n

HAVE A OPEN MIND FOR PLAN C<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5<\/span><\/p>\n

In military systems, the second step in the development of a radically new concept must be determined after operational deployment. The war fighters will use the system in innovative ways not described in the manuals, and it is this experience that will define the path to revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
