Military history reflects an evolutionary progress in the methods of warfare-progress which has been closely associated with our increased ability to control and to make use of our environment. Scientific and technological advances of recent years, combined with those which can be foreseen, are causing changes in our organizational and operational concepts which are better described as revolutionary rather than evolutionary. No such dramatic breakthroughs, however, have been achieved in our knowledge about, or techniques in dealing with, the most decisive factor in this entire complicated problem-rman himself. In any war of the future, small unit leaders will have at their disposal greatly improved means of accomplishing their missions. At the same time, their units will be subjected to vastly more powerful forces of destruction.
