“No plan survives the first incoming round,” say skeptics of deliberate military plans. Advocates of deliberate plans say the same thing. Why?
Students will achieve a rudimentary understanding of military planning & look at use of conventional forces in the counterinsurgency role. The course includes:
• 2-hour seminar on hasty & deliberate planning;
• 2-hour practical application on planning & wargaming, in which participants will plan to employ an infantry battalion to seize insurgent leaders and an arms cache;
• a military staff ride of a local battlefield.
Lt Col Roftiel Constantine, USAF, LtCol Michael Parkyn, USMC, and LTC Michael Wehr, USA are active duty officers with experience at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of warfare, totaling 57 years of combined experience in the art of war.
