Strategy
Introduction to Strategy
Strategy, art of employing all elements of the power of a nation or nations to accomplish the objectives of a nation or an alliance in peace or war; also the art of military command in combat. Tactics, on the other hand, are the dispersing and maneuvering of forces to accomplish a limited objective or an immediate end. Strategy involves the use and close integration of economic, political, cultural, social, moral, spiritual, and psychological power.
Strategy can be formulated only after the objectives to be accomplished have been determined. Thus, national objectives and national power are the irreducible elements of national strategy. After national objectives have been determined, all aspects of the problems confronting the nation must be thoroughly examined and accurate evaluations made of the character, size, and capabilities of the various available elements of national power. Then possible courses of action, utilizing the national power elements in varying combinations, are analyzed to develop the best national strategy possible, taking into account the opposition that may be met as the strategy unfolds. Options should therefore be developed to provide choices for possible contingencies.
A purely military strategy for a nation is no longer possible. A clear-cut line of demarcation between military, economic, and political matters no longer exists. Consequently, the development of military strategy takes into consideration political and economic factors, and, conversely, political strategy must be firmly based on military and economic power realities.” (1)
