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.

    Chapter 6 - Strategic Evaluation

    With the continuous development of human military practice activities, strategic evaluation has become an indispensable and important link in military strategic guidance, and has a significant impact on the development process of strategic activities. Practice has proved that after entering the information age, the role of strategic evaluation has further risen, and strategic instructors must pay close attention to it. Section One: The meaning and role of strategic evaluation Strategic evaluation is produced in the long-term military conflict practice of mankind. It is an objective requirement for the implementation of scientific guidance on strategic activities. Its meaning and role continue to develop with the practice of military conflicts, and present the trend of the professionalization of evaluation of the main body and scientification of evaluation method, and diversification of evaluation content. 1. The meaning of strategic evaluation Strategic evaluation refers to the process of using scientific methods to conduct qualitative and quantitative comprehensive evaluation of strategic activities, and make corresponding evaluation conclusions. It generally includes pre-evaluation, stage evaluation and effectiveness evaluation. In the military field, although strategic evaluation activities have long existed, they are mainly characterized by qualitative analysis. It was not until the 1980s that due to the development of computer technology, strategic evaluation began to move from static evaluation to dynamic simulation evaluation, and qualitative evaluation to qualitative evaluation. The combination of quantitative evaluation and development has resulted in the emergence of a strategic evaluation system that adapts to different evaluation tasks, and the evaluation theory has also been greatly developed. A professional evaluation agency and a special evaluation system have been established.

    Chapter 5 - Strategy Implementation

    Strategy implementation is a strategic practice activity that uses strategic means to achieve strategic goals, in accordance with the requirements of strategic guidelines and strategic planning, and the development and changes of the strategic situation. trategy implementation involves all aspects and each field of military work, and the content is very extensive, but it can be summed up mainly in two aspects: army building and preparation for military conflict; military conflict implementation. Army building and preparations for military conflict are both closely linked and have differences. From the perspective of the relationship between the two, the main aspects of army building and military conflict preparations are the same and consistent. Army building is the basis of military conflict preparations, and military conflict preparations for specific combat objects in a certain strategic direction are themselves. An important content of army building, at the same time it can lead and promote army building. Judging from the difference between the two, army building is a regular military activity, which is basic, comprehensive and long-term, and pays more attention to ability traction; while preparations for military conflict are often carried out in response to a certain actual security threat, and have a strong pertinence and phased nature, and put more emphasis on demand traction. It can be seen that both are important content of strategy implementation, and they can be planned and implemented as one at the same time.

    FEB 15

    Chapter 1 - Strategy

    PART 1 To strengthen the country and the army, strategy is first. To study and research strategy, we must first clarify the basic concepts, study the basic theories, and master the basic principles. This Part is the basic theory of strategy, which aims to reveal the basic connotation, basic principles, and operating laws of strategy. On the basis of explaining the basic issues of strategy, the five links of strategic operation are discussed in detail, namely, strategic judgment, strategic decision-making, strategic planning, strategic implementation, and strategic evaluation. Among them, making correct strategic judgments on the security situation facing the country is the starting point for strategic operations. On the basis of strategic analysis and judgment, strategic directors make strategic decisions, identify threats, distinguish between enemies and friends, clarify goals and tasks, and make strategic deployments. In order to implement the various contents of the strategic decision, it is necessary to formulate a strategic plan, and then pay for the implementation of the strategy, and implement the content of the strategic decision and plan into all links and stages of military conflict and army building. Finally, there is an evaluation of the strategic operation process. This is the complete process and basic principle of strategic operation. By revealing this basic principle, this part provides theoretical support for the strategic guidance on the use and construction of military forces in later chapters.
