Summary

• Process
• Work Plan
• Responsive to Operational needs
• In build phase of concept development
• Involved in both NATO and ABCA
• Unfortunately requirement exceeds capacity
• Need to improve perception and speed of process

Changing any military's doctrine, however, is
like trying to stop a tank by throwing
marshmallows at it. The military, like any huge
modern bureaucracy, resists innovation
especially if the change implies the downgrading
of certain units and the need to learn new skills
and to transcend service rivalries.
War and Anti-War Alvin et Heidi Toffler

It is not enough to write new doctrine, if the
purpose is to change the way an army will fight.
Ultimately, an armys behavior in battle will
almost certainly be more a reflection of its
character or culture than the contents of its
doctrine manuals.
Paul Johnson
24
So accelerated are changes in the world scene
these days that doctrinal revisions which used
to take place at forty or fifty year
intervals now are needed every year or two.
