Science of Military Strategy - 2020

Luis Ayala

This is the most recent release of this seminal work. Translated to English language. Rather than offer this as an Audiobook, I will be releasing the next Chapter on this podcast whenever I see the sale of a paperback copy of my book on Amazon until all 25 chapters are released. Personally, I am not a big fan of subscriptions, so once all chapters are out there, they will be available for FREE. So, I start by putting out this Introduction and Chapter 1 -Strategic Theory right away. When somebody buys a copy of the book I will release the next chapter.

    Chapter 7 - Prevention and Handling of Military Crisis

    With the development and change of the international strategic situation and the security environment of our country, the factors of insecurity, instability and uncertainty facing our country have increased significantly. Crisis has gradually become the normal state of national security, and military crises have also shown an increasing trend. Military crises are the crossroads of war and peace. If they cannot be effectively prevented and dealt with, they may get out of control and escalate into war, which will have a major impact and interference on the peaceful development of our country, and even destroy the hard-won achievements of reform and opening up. Therefore, we should thoroughly study and explore the characteristics and laws of military crises, actively prevent crises, strive to manage crises, properly handle crises, control the impact and impact of military crises within a certain range, and create a peaceful and stable strategic environment for national development. Section One: The Connotation and Characteristics of Military crisis After the end of the Cold War, international military crises frequently occurred, and the incentives were complex and diverse. The prominent manifestations were the intensified competition for geopolitical and economic interests, the intensification of ethnic and religious contradictions, and the endless emergence of national unity and territorial disputes. Study the connotation of contemporary military crises, explore the characteristics and laws of the occurrence, development, and transformation of military crises, summarize the experience of crisis prevention and handling, and improve our country's ability to prevent and handle military crises, which has important practical significance for stopping wars, defending national interests, and maintaining regional stability and world peace .

    Chapter 3 - Strategic Decision

    Strategic decisions are decisions made on major issues regarding the use and construction of military forces from an overall perspective, and are the highest-level decisions in the military domain. Its main task is to stipulate the strategic objectives, tasks, and policies of military conflict and army building, and determine the method of military force utilization and construction methods in accordance with the characteristics of the strategic environment, national interest requirements and military strategic thinking. Strategic decision- making is the basic basis for strategic planning and implementation of strategic actions. It is directly related to the success or failure of military conflicts, and even affects the future and destiny of the country. Section One: The Main Characteristics of Strategic Decision-Making Strategic decision-making has a macro-oriented and leading role. Compared with decision-making in other fields, strategic decision-making has outstanding antagonism, risk, creativity, timeliness, and foresight. 1. Stark confrontation Strategic decision-making is the decision made by the strategic instructor on the countermeasures we should take in response to the other's attempts, possible actions, and security threats to us. It is obviously antagonistic. It is not only a competition of the will and strength of the two parties, but also a game of strategy and art between the two parties. It requires that the strategic director must give full play to his subjective initiative on the basis of objective material. Strategic decision-making is also manifested in the process of intelligent confrontation between the opposing parties relying on and using military strength. It is a competition between the strategic directors of the two sides to compete for superiority and active subjective guidance.
