Starlink can restore communication through satellite internet even when ground communication networks are destroyed or paralyzed; AI can quickly analyze massive battlefield data to predict enemy locations and movements and automatically identify targets; and commanders can grasp the battlespace in real time without having to see it with their own eyes and make decisions in seconds according to the AI's computational speed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author of this book, John Antel, meticulously analyzed recent events such as the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, the Israel-Hamas War, and the Russia-Ukraine War. This led him to write \"The Next War\" out of a pressing sense that past doctrines, training, and methods of warfare can no longer respond to new forms of war. \u003cbr\u003eThe author served as a combat unit officer in the U.S. Army for 30 years and retired as an Army colonel. He is a military strategist who has researched future warfare, AI warfare, autonomous weapon systems, and information warfare. Based on his practical experience, he served as a leadership and tactics instructor at the U.S. Army Armor School and West Point, and is a leadership expert who has trained thousands of officers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book explains in detail the nine factors of war transformation derived by the author through research on recent wars: transparent battlespace, the benefits of preemptive strike, unmanned aerial attacks, AI and the accelerating tempo of war, transition to fully autonomous weapons, kill web, super swarms, battlespace visualization, and decision advantage. It can be said to be a textbook on future warfare that presents how the US military must prepare in the levels of command, design, training, combat, and support to win the next war, such as utilizing Starlink, preparing for future urban battles, high-low mix strategies such as the Big Blue Blanket, a light tactical aircraft operation strategy for counter-drone operations, human-robot hybrid units, command post operation rules, and creating combat shock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author says, “Future wars depend on how humans and machines cooperate. \u003cbr\u003eCurrent AI isn't advanced enough to command multi-domain battles on its own, but combining it with human cognitive abilities could create a truly intelligent and powerful system.\u003cbr\u003e …the human element is crucial in this combination. While AI still has significant systemic vulnerabilities, human intervention can transform vulnerable AI into a better weapon system for configuring and coordinating robotic network systems.\u003cbr\u003e We cannot create an AI that can think like a human, and we should not try to create one.\u003cbr\u003e “However, the next step will require the integration of humans and machines, and this will be the key variable that determines the winners and losers of the next war,” he predicts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt also raises a fundamental question: \"When technological advancements surpass human control, what criteria will guide our warfare?\" In today's world, where AI, autonomous weapons, drones, and robotic combat vehicles (RCVs) are deployed into battlespace, the question of who holds \"control\" and \"responsibility\" is emerging as a new challenge.\u003cbr\u003e The author first emphasizes the importance of ‘asking the right questions.’\u003cbr\u003e Rather than being overwhelmed by the pace of technological advancement, we need to be clear about “what problems we really need to solve.”\u003cbr\u003e The author argues that the fundamental question, rather than the technology itself, is “what place should human judgment have in war?”\u003cbr\u003e The crux of this issue boils down to “whether to command or control the robot.” \u003cbr\u003eHe argues that “attempts to ‘control’ robotic systems ultimately make humans subordinate to technology, but if we maintain the concept of ‘command,’ humans can still be at the center of purpose and judgment.”\u003cbr\u003e In other words, humans should not be seen as mere 'manipulators' of technology, but rather as subjects who determine its direction and 'give it meaning.'\u003cbr\u003e The author warns that no matter how much technology advances, “we must be able to ask the right questions and have humans answer them for themselves.”\u003cbr\u003e Because the outcome of the next war will depend more on the decisions made by the humans using the weapons than on the performance of the weapons themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author states, “The world’s most lethal weapon is a human combatant, properly trained, properly equipped, and determined to fight as part of a team. \u003cbr\u003eEven in the midst of chaos and confusion caused by a network breakdown, well-trained and determined men and women who can follow and execute mission-oriented commands are more important than technology.\u003cbr\u003e No technology can replace a team of well-trained, prepared, and determined fighters.\u003cbr\u003e However, when such a team has the best skills and tactics, it can create an overwhelming advantage at crucial moments.\u003cbr\u003e By combining these elements and applying them appropriately, you can inflict battle shock on your enemies.\u003cbr\u003e To achieve this, we must effectively combine command, design, training, combat, and support to ensure victory in the next war,” he argues.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is not simply a military theory book. It is a \"textbook for future warfare\" and a \"strategic thinking training manual,\" asking how human thinking and leadership must evolve in an era where AI, various sensors, autonomous weapons, and satellites are transforming the way warfare is conducted and dominating the pace of warfare.\u003cbr\u003e Although the author wrote this book strictly for the U.S. military, it provides useful guidance for thinking about and designing how the South Korean military should prepare for future wars, given the security realities of the Korean Peninsula, which is not only in a sharp standoff with North Korea but also surrounded by powerful powers like China and Russia.\u003cbr\u003e The South Korean military also needs to heed the author's message that it must move beyond technology-centered war preparation to thinking-centered preparation—to become \"a military that can imagine the next war, a thinking military.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe author warns that an army that is late in making a decision to command is bound to be defeated, citing General MacArthur's words, \"The failure of war can be summarized in two words: 'Too Late.'\" He adds, \"The best way to prevent war is to prepare for war, and if war breaks out, the goal should be to win as quickly as possible.\u003cbr\u003e A commander who thinks and acts in a timely manner is invaluable.\u003cbr\u003e As important as technology is to winning a war, human leadership is equally important.\u003cbr\u003e Leadership that can win a war requires technical prowess, imagination, and foresight.\u003cbr\u003e You must use your imagination as you read, think critically, ask relevant questions, derive answers, and test your conclusions.\u003cbr\u003e Efforts to develop foresight should not be postponed until tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003e “We must start right now,” he emphasizes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAmidst the US-China rivalry, China's threat of invasion of Taiwan, North Korea's nuclear threat, and the aftermath of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the security environment on the Korean Peninsula is more complex and uncertain than ever.\u003cbr\u003e In this situation, predicting the changing nature of war and developing preparedness is not a 'choice' but a 'necessity'.\u003cbr\u003e This book will serve as a good starting point for reimagining and innovating the way war is waged.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePreview\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003eindex\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e | Recommendation | I think, therefore I am (Cogito ergo sum), the revival of Descartes\u003cbr\u003e -

Despite new technologies like AI, autonomous weapons, drones, and Starlink already transforming the battlefield, many military leaders remain stuck in old war doctrines and structures.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes that the first step in preparing for future wars is not 'prediction' but 'imagination,' saying, \"If we fail to imagine new forms of war, we will ultimately fall behind and lose in that war.\"\u003cbr\u003e “War is changing.\u003cbr\u003e The question is not technology, but whether we have the imagination to see it.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 2: Transparent Battlespace\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 describes the battlespace made transparent by satellites, drones, reconnaissance aircraft, sensors, and electronic signal detection networks. \u003cbr\u003eThe author argues that traditional 'concealment' alone is no longer sufficient in a transparent battlespace.\u003cbr\u003e In an environment where all troops and equipment are monitored and their locations exposed, 'masking' (a technique to block or distort enemy sensors and detection lines) is emphasized as a key to combat power.\u003cbr\u003e Masking is not simply camouflage; it is an active defense technique that deceives enemy detection systems and induces false detections.\u003cbr\u003e The author presents masking as “the only way to survive in a visualized battlespace,” and introduces new forms of “digital concealment” such as electronic warfare, thermal camouflage, radar shielding, and satellite jamming as practical response concepts.\u003cbr\u003e In a “transparent battle space where everything is visible,” paradoxically, the ability to “make invisible” (masking) determines victory or defeat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 3: The Benefits of a Preemptive Strike\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 uses the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine as an example, diagnosing that despite launching a preemptive strike, Russia failed to sufficiently destroy or paralyze its target and failed to secure the integrated speed of information, determination, and strike, thereby failing to capitalize on the benefits of a preemptive strike.\u003cbr\u003e To achieve this, a system that seamlessly combines detection, judgment, and concentrated strikes is essential, and it is emphasized that a true advantage is secured only when the enemy's command, control, and combat capabilities are decisively neutralized (i.e., 'hit hard') through a preemptive strike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 4: Unmanned Aerial Attacks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 highlights the reality that drones have emerged from simple reconnaissance to become \"sky artillery\" capable of autonomous strikes. \u003cbr\u003eCases where cheap commercial drones can neutralize multi-million dollar tanks or air defense systems have reshaped the economics of combat, and the ability of AI-powered drones to operate in swarms and identify and track targets has the potential to overwhelm traditional air defenses and command systems.\u003cbr\u003e Accordingly, the author diagnoses that unmanned aerial attacks are no longer just auxiliary means, but have established themselves as a decisive engagement method that determines the outcome of a battle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author also presents four axes as practical countermeasures to the drone threat.\u003cbr\u003e This method involves quickly neutralizing small, low-altitude drones with high-power lasers, paralyzing the drone's electronic equipment with high-power microwaves (HPM), disrupting the drone's GPS, communication, and control links with electronic warfare (EW) jamming to paralyze the drone's navigation, and directly shooting down and eliminating the drone with physical interception (interceptor missiles, unmanned interceptors, anti-drone bullets, etc.). \u003cbr\u003eThe author cautions against viewing these technologies as a single solution, and emphasizes the need for a multi-layered combination of radar, optics, electronic warfare, energy weapons, and interceptor weapons (the so-called \"blue blanket\") to integrate the entire process of detection, identification, tracking, and defeat to secure response speed and resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 5: AI and the Accelerating Tempo of War\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 focuses on how AI is changing the tempo and decision-making process of the entire process.\u003cbr\u003e The author states that while past wars were conducted sequentially based on human judgment and command, we have now entered an era where AI performs detection, analysis, decision, and strike almost simultaneously.\u003cbr\u003e The battlespace is changing at an ever-increasing pace, and the amount and speed of information is reaching levels that humans cannot cope with. \u003cbr\u003eThe author analyzes that AI is a key factor in shortening the decision-making cycle amidst these changes. AI integrates massive sensor data to classify threats in real time and suggest optimal response measures.\u003cbr\u003e This is transforming decisions that used to take minutes or hours into 'automatic decisions' that can be made in seconds.\u003cbr\u003e However, the author points out that “if humans cannot keep up with this pace, there is a risk that AI decisions will soon determine the direction of war.”\u003cbr\u003e The author argues that what is needed in AI-driven warfare is not simply faster technology, but “a mindset that can control speed.”\u003cbr\u003e In other words, the computational speed of AI must be adjusted to the tempo of war, but human strategic judgment must not be completely excluded.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes the principle that AI should drive the pace of war, but humans should determine its direction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6: Transition to Fully Autonomous Weapons\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6 analyzes how advances in AI and robotics are leading to a \"combat system that operates without human command.\"\u003cbr\u003e The author argues that autonomous weapons are moving beyond simple remote control to the stage of making their own judgments and decisions, fundamentally changing the nature of war.\u003cbr\u003e He presents examples of actual weapons currently under development, such as robotic combat vehicles (RCVs), autonomous drones, and AI artillery systems, and diagnoses that these weapons herald “an era of fully autonomous combat.”\u003cbr\u003e In particular, the combination of edge computing and AI has enabled \"situational intelligence\" that can analyze, judge, and attack data on-site, thereby reducing human intervention.\u003cbr\u003e However, it warns of the ethical and strategic problems (loss of control, risk of miscalculation, and responsibility) that these technological advances may bring. \u003cbr\u003eUltimately, he emphasizes that “the transition to fully autonomous weapons is inevitable, but human control and responsibility must not be completely eliminated.”\u003cbr\u003e Autonomous weapons maximize the speed and precision of warfare, but when human value judgment disappears, war can degenerate into a simple algorithmic competition.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, it is predicted that the future command system will be reorganized from a “human-in-the-loop” where humans make decisions, to a “human-on-the-loop” where AI executes but humans supervise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 7 Kill Web\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7 covers a new networked combat system that has changed the pace and structure of war. \u003cbr\u003eThe author explains that the existing 'Kill Chain', in which detection, decision, and strike are carried out sequentially, has now evolved into the 'Kill Web', a 'multi-dimensional network-type battle network in which sensors, AI, and weapons are connected in real time to quickly detect, judge, and destroy targets.'\u003cbr\u003e In this system, sensors, command centers, and weapon platforms are all connected, providing the flexibility for any one sensor to guide multiple weapons simultaneously, and for any weapon to utilize information from multiple sensors simultaneously.\u003cbr\u003e As a result, battles unfold much faster and more decentralized, and if one node (unit\/equipment) is destroyed, another node immediately takes over the mission.\u003cbr\u003e But he also warns that such network-centric warfare is extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks and communications disruptions. \u003cbr\u003eThe author emphasizes that “the kill web is a double-edged sword that accelerates war, but can also turn against itself if not controlled,” and that the ability to integrate and manage security, command and control, and data fusion will determine the outcome of future wars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 8 Superclusters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8 explains that \"super swarms,\" ​​a combat method in which hundreds of drones cooperate and attack as a single organism, are changing the landscape of warfare by combining AI and autonomous control technology.\u003cbr\u003e Each drone communicates with others, shares targets, and divides tasks among themselves to make collective decisions.\u003cbr\u003e These swarms would overwhelm conventional air defenses, and their scale and flexibility would be beyond human command.\u003cbr\u003e The author defines this as “the birth of an AI ecosystem that networked the battlespace,” and warns that mass-produced, low-cost, and intelligent weapon systems will destroy the asymmetry of war.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 9 Visualizing the Battlespace\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9 deals with a revolutionary change in the way commanders 'see' the battlespace.\u003cbr\u003e Battlespace awareness, which previously relied on reports, radio transmissions, and maps, is now integrated and visualized in real time through a data flow that integrates AI, satellites, drones, and various sensors.\u003cbr\u003e The author calls this “visualization of the battlespace.”\u003cbr\u003e He presents the following as keys to effective battlespace visualization: holistic perspective, intuitiveness, minimalism, cognitive load reduction, various forms of feedback, configurability and locus of control, automation, and development of a full-domain operational situation map.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, the screen, data, and command structure must be simplified so that commanders can immediately grasp only the key points in the sea of ​​information, and AI must handle complex information processing, leaving humans to focus on decision-making. \u003cbr\u003eThis concept is embodied in the US military's All-Domain Common Operating Picture (ADCOP) and Joint All-Domain Command and Control System (JADC2).\u003cbr\u003e The Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) system connects all stages of sensor, decision, and strike with AI, enabling a \"decision advantage\" on the battlefield through a combination of speed and accuracy.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes that “a visible battlefield is half the battle won,” and that the “combination of speed and AI” is the new formula for victory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 10: The Decision Advantage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10 emphasizes that in the \"War of Speed,\" who can make judgments and decisions faster and more accurately is the key factor in determining victory or defeat in the war. \u003cbr\u003eCiting U.S. Air Force strategist John Boyd's concept of the Uda Loop (Observe, Judge, Decide, Act), the author explains that AI and network systems are compressing and accelerating this Uda Loop cycle. AI analyzes data in real time, performing \"Observe\" and \"Judge,\" while humans make strategic decisions in the \"Decide\" and \"Act\" stages.\u003cbr\u003e The key to decisive advantage remains the judgment of skilled commanders and combatants. Even if AI provides speed, it is human experience and insight that gives that speed meaning.\u003cbr\u003e To reinforce this, the authors present real-time virtual training systems such as Live Synths and configuration tactical simulations.\u003cbr\u003e Through immersive training using the tactical simulator 'Arma 3' and VR equipment Rift and Quest, commanders can repeatedly master the Uda Loop and increase the speed of their resolve. \u003cbr\u003eThe author defines decision advantage as “the ability to perceive a situation faster and more clearly than an enemy, and to act before the enemy can respond,” and emphasizes that while AI is a tool that makes this possible, decision-making still remains the responsibility of humans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 11: The First Starlink War\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11 analyzes the Russo-Ukrainian War, examining how the civilian satellite communications network Starlink served as a key infrastructure for the war effort.\u003cbr\u003e As Russian forces crippled communications networks with electronic warfare and cyberattacks, Elon Musk's Starlink terminals reconnected the battlespace.\u003cbr\u003e This satellite network allowed the command center to restore the chain of command, and the drone unit to transmit real-time images and strike targets.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes that Earth's orbit and frequency have now become key strategic assets. \u003cbr\u003eGeostationary orbit is already largely occupied, and competition is now shifting to low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO).\u003cbr\u003e Low Earth orbit can accommodate about 50,000 satellites, and if SpaceX launches 42,000 as planned, more than 80% of them will be Starlink.\u003cbr\u003e SpaceX is monopolizing strategic resources by preemptively dominating space.\u003cbr\u003e In this way, Starlink has become not just a simple communications network, but an information infrastructure that dominates the battlefield.\u003cbr\u003e This chapter warns that whoever controls space will control the neural network of war, and the first target of the next war will no longer be the ground command center, but the network above.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes that the fusion of civilian technology and military operations will be a prerequisite for all future wars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 12: Preparing for Future Urban Combat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eChapter 12, citing the examples of intense urban fighting in Bakhmut and Mariupol during the Russo-Ukrainian War, argues that the main battlefield of the future will be urban spaces, not vast plains.\u003cbr\u003e Much of the fighting in the war between Russia and Ukraine took place in complex environments intertwined with high-rise buildings, underground facilities, and civilian infrastructure, foreshadowing future urban warfare.\u003cbr\u003e The author first emphasizes the mobile striking power.\u003cbr\u003e In urban environments, the rapid movement, dispersed deployment, and concentrated strikes of small mobile units determine victory or defeat, rather than large-scale military forces.\u003cbr\u003e Next, it is analyzed that the integrated operation of future sensors, strike weapons, and jammers is the key to urban warfare. \u003cbr\u003eBased on information collected by high-precision satellites, high-resolution drones, and thermal and electronic sensors, AI analyzes targets in real time, and guided weapons and robotic combat systems immediately strike them, while jammers and electronic warfare equipment disrupt enemy communications and guidance systems, increasing the survivability of friendly forces.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, the combination of cluster ISR (intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance) and strike systems is expected to lead to tactical innovation in urban combat.\u003cbr\u003e A network of small drones and sensors share information, and AI integrates and analyzes this information to trigger an immediate response.\u003cbr\u003e He further suggests that control of the urban skies and stratosphere is a crucial element in future urban combat.\u003cbr\u003e Medium-, high-, and stratospheric platforms will be responsible for communications and surveillance, providing the \"eyes\" and \"nerve networks\" of the battlespace.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, it emphasizes the need to build an integrated ISR and strike system for future urban combat. \u003cbr\u003eThis task goes beyond the development of technical equipment; it requires innovation in command structures and doctrine, and a redesign of practical training systems.\u003cbr\u003e The author notes that “Urban combat in Ukraine already offers a glimpse into the future,” and warns that the U.S. military and its allies must develop multidomain operational capabilities to cope with such environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 13: The Big Blue Blanket: Light Tactics for Counter-Drone Operations\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 13 presents the concept of the \"Big Blue Blanket\" and emphasizes the need for a low-cost, multi-layered defense network to counter large-scale drone threats.\u003cbr\u003e The key is to create a broad air defense network that combines lasers, high-power microwaves (HPM), electronic warfare jamming, small interceptors, and light tactical aircraft, rather than relying solely on advanced interception systems costing hundreds of millions of dollars. \u003cbr\u003eThis would allow for the economical deterrence of small, low-cost threats (such as large numbers of small drones) while still providing the flexibility to deploy more precise means against more advanced threats.\u003cbr\u003e The author's practical prescription is a high-low mix strategy.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, high-performance, expensive systems (high-performance radar, long-range interceptor missiles, space, and high-altitude platforms) should be deployed for strategic deterrence and precision engagement, while low-cost, high-frequency systems (light tactical weapons, lasers, HPM, electronic warfare equipment, and unmanned interceptors) should be responsible for responding to everyday, large-scale threats.\u003cbr\u003e The authors argue that this approach offers both cost-effectiveness and operational flexibility.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, rather than relying on a single technology, it is necessary to operate a multi-layered loop that connects detection, identification, disruption, and repulsion to shorten the time from detection to repulsion and to compensate for vulnerabilities caused by jamming and cyberattacks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 14: Human-Robot Hybrid Units\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 14 emphasizes that the core of future warfare lies in human-machine collaboration. As new technologies such as AI, autonomous driving, robotic combat vehicles (RCVs), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are fully deployed in combat, speeds and complexities are emerging that cannot be handled by human cognitive abilities alone.\u003cbr\u003e Accordingly, the U.S. military is developing the concept of a \"human-robot hybrid unit\" that combines human judgment with the rapid execution of robots.\u003cbr\u003e Robotic combat vehicles perform surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike missions on the battlefield without human control, and are linked at the platoon and company level to assist manned tanks.\u003cbr\u003e The author describes these systems as being like \"Patton's Ghost Army,\" which suddenly appear in battlespace to confuse and strike the enemy, and believes that the initiative in future wars will depend on the combined power of humans and robots. \u003cbr\u003eHe also points out that the race to experiment with human-robot integration systems is already in full swing, citing examples such as Russia's Uran-9 and Marker combat robots.\u003cbr\u003e But just as important as the pace of technological advancement is the philosophical shift.\u003cbr\u003e The author poses the fundamental question, “Should we command robots or control them?” and emphasizes the need for a systematic shift from simple remote control to applying mission-oriented command principles to robots.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, he concludes that a human-robot hybrid combat system, combining human judgment and resolve with robotic precision and speed, will provide a new asymmetrical advantage that will ensure victory in future wars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 15 Command Post Operation Rules\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 15 covers key principles for ensuring the survivability and sustainability of command posts (CPs) in modern warfare. \u003cbr\u003eThe author quotes General MacArthur's words, \"The failure of war can be summed up in the phrase 'Too Late,'\" and warns that an army that is late in making a decision to command is bound to be defeated.\u003cbr\u003e He points out, using the example of the Ukrainian war, that there are no longer any \"safe zones\" in today's battlespace, and that command posts can be exposed to enemy precision strikes, drones, and electronic warfare at any time.\u003cbr\u003e The solution proposed for this is ‘distributed mission command.’\u003cbr\u003e Rather than centralizing the command center in one location, it is structured as a series of small, mobile 'function nodes' that are distributed throughout the battle space.\u003cbr\u003e Each node is connected to the network and shares command functions, so if one node is hit, another node immediately takes over command.\u003cbr\u003e These mesh command posts are presented as a future command model that simultaneously secures command continuity and survivability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDrawing on real-world experience, the author presents 18 operational rules to enhance command post survivability in the transparent and lethal modern battlespace.\u003cbr\u003e First, the purpose of the command post is to enable mission-oriented command.\u003cbr\u003e Second, develop distributed mission command to reduce reliance on a single command post.\u003cbr\u003e Third, the command post must be constantly moving and changing its location, as it is more likely to be destroyed by the enemy if it is stationary.\u003cbr\u003e Fourth, mask to survive.\u003cbr\u003e Fifth, train like it's real.\u003cbr\u003e Sixth, make it small.\u003cbr\u003e Seventh, use the red team to verify the command post configuration.\u003cbr\u003e Eighth, form a command post with three or four vehicles.\u003cbr\u003e Ninth, armor up.\u003cbr\u003e Tenth, execute and train mission-oriented command while on the move.\u003cbr\u003e Eleventh, all command posts shall assume and exercise full command authority when necessary.\u003cbr\u003e Twelfth, occupy the urban area. \u003cbr\u003eThirteenth, evaluate your command post from the enemy's perspective.\u003cbr\u003e Fourteenth, train for the 'what if'.\u003cbr\u003e Fifteenth, use cover.\u003cbr\u003e Sixteenth, create a common operational situation map for all areas.\u003cbr\u003e Seventeenth, formulate a plan for the battle against the drones.\u003cbr\u003e Eighteenth, have a behavioral bias.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter 16: Battle Shock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 16 begins with the proposition that the decision to attack and the impact of battle determine victory or defeat in battle.\u003cbr\u003e The author, Donald A. Starry, said, “If you don’t attack, you can’t win.”\u003cbr\u003e Citing the lessons of Starry, he states that today's offensive operations require cunning techniques and tactics. \u003cbr\u003eThe author also makes it clear that while technology is changing the way war is fought, the essence of war remains a conflict between groups of willing human beings, and that the surest way to deter war is to maintain a state of complete readiness so that the enemy will not dare to fight.\u003cbr\u003e The author asserts that “the world’s most lethal weapon is a well-trained, properly equipped, and determined human combatant working as part of a team,” and that the core of combat impact is ultimately people, command, and training.\u003cbr\u003e Well-trained, determined men and women who can follow and execute mission-oriented command even when networks are disrupted and situations descend into chaos are more important than any technology, and when combined with the capabilities of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force, America's asymmetrical advantage is always guaranteed. \u003cbr\u003eNo technology can replace a well-trained team, but when such a team possesses top-notch skills and tactics, it creates an overwhelming advantage in crucial moments.\u003cbr\u003e The author argues that we must organically combine command, design, training, combat, and support to create combat shock in the next war and ensure victory. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 29, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 472 pages | 646g | 154*225*25mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791187822998\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118782299X \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894267183146,"sku":"140050","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/f3d82e74a009b3bc3014f46757172ec6.jpg?v=1765429957","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/140050","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
