title: Do Something: A model for the development of 21st Century Strategy
abstract: Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. The strategist is obligated to provide the framework through which tactical success is firmly linked to achieving policy and strategic objectives. Strategy must articulate the way in which we use engagements to the end of attaining the object of the war or use of force. Professional officers must develop the ability to render politically aware military advice.
