This preface is a brief introduction to military strategy. My desired end state (DES)—in this case, what I want you to know and think when you’re done reading this—is for you to have a broad understanding of what strategy is and why thinking strategically is critical to our national security. I want you to be motivated to learn about military strategy, and I sincerely hope that you find the topics in this work to be approachable, meaningful, and deeply applicable to your understanding, and perhaps your execution, of military strategy So, let’s get started. Your first question: Why is this concept of military strategy (and strategic thinking in general) important to me? Well, two reasons: First, if you’re engaging in this text, exploring these topics, you are likely on a chosen trajectory to enter a strategic profession (military or civilian) defending our nation and its interests, leading people, operating weapon systems, orchestrating warfare, and managing violence. Or perhaps you are actively engaged in this already. Thank you. This book is designed to introduce you to, or perhaps refresh for you, the fundamentals of military strategy, with an emphasis on airpower employment in a joint operating environment. These are the primary tools in your kit. These concepts constitute the foundation for whatever professional specialty in which you currently operate or strive to enter. This is how we plan and win wars.
