THE “SEVEN QUESTIONS”: A NOVEL SURGICAL PLANNING STRATEGY BASED ON Military Doctrine
2018Co-Authors: R Wood, Granville-chapman JAbstract:Surgical planning is the first step in operative fracture management. Complex situations are often faced which pose difficulties on both technical and logistic fronts. Surgical planning is the first step in operative fracture management. The degree of planning that is required is therefore determined by a number of factors including: the nature of the injury mechanism and its concomitant physiological insult, complexity of the fracture and region, expertise of the surgical team and equipment limitations. This paper explores a novel planning process in orthopaedic trauma surgery based upon British Military Doctrine. The seven questions of surgical planning represent a novel method that draws inspiration from the combat estimate process. It benefits from a global approach that encompasses logistic as well as surgical constraints. This, in turn, allows the surgical team to form an understanding of the nature of the fracture in order to develop, document and deliver a surgical plan. This has benefits for the ...

Nonstrategic nuclear weapons in Russia’s evolving Military Doctrine
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 2017Co-Authors: Katarzyna ZyskAbstract:ABSTRACTWhy does Russia need so many nonstrategic nuclear weapons (NSNWs), which are considered by some observers to be an irrelevant relic of the Cold War with little use in actual, present-day warfighting? The question is all the more acute given that Russia has conducted a sweeping Military modernization program since 2008, significantly improving its general-purpose forces and thereby seemingly reducing the need to rely on nuclear weapons. Yet Russia’s nonstrategic (also known as tactical) nuclear weapons continue to play a central role in its Military Doctrine – and if anything, the weapons’ role has increased in the post-Cold War security environment. Initially, they were viewed as a way of compensating for Russia’s Military-technological inferiority after the collapse of the Soviet Union, giving the country some breathing space until Russia would have the wherewithal to boost its conventional power – especially in the research and development of high-precision conventional weapons that could be an ...

Organizational Politics and Change in Soviet Military Policy
World Politics, 1994Co-Authors: Stuart J. KaufmanAbstract:This article uses two puzzles from the Brezhnev period to test competing models of Soviet Military policy and of innovation in Military “Doctrine.” An organizational model of Soviet Military policy offers the best explanation of both cases: why the Soviet Union's Brezhnevera Military strategy contradicted the Politburo's priorities (to prevent any war from escalating to nuclear use) and why the Soviet Union agreed to the ABM treaty. The ABM case shows that civilian leaders can force change in Military “Doctrine” when they have a policy handle–a way of redefining the issue to remove it from the Military's exclusive area of competence. When civilians lack a policy handle, as in the Military strategy case, they are unable to force innovation if the Military is unwilling. The Russian government now faces the task of finding effective policy handles that will institutionalize civilian control of Military policy. The fate of Russia's reforms may depend on it.

Naval Perspectives for Military Doctrine Development
2013Co-Authors: James J. TrittenAbstract:Abstract : Theoretical treatment of different types of Military Doctrine, including multi-service naval Doctrine. The two basic aspects of Doctrine are how a profession thinks and how it practices. Research then turn to what influences Military Doctrine: current policy, available resources, current strategy, campaign concepts, current Doctrine, current threats, history and lessons learned, strategic and service culture, current technology, geography, demographics, and types of government. Note that a majority of these influences are current and not enduring leading to a tension between the need to be responsive to current issues and the search for principles, in turn, Military Doctrine influences tactics, techniques, procedures, local tactical directives, rules of engagement, training and education, organization and force structure, analyses, programming, campaign planning, strategy, policy, and other forms of Military Doctrine. Final discussion area concerns degree of directiveness that should be found in Doctrine. There are no easy answers to this question which lies at the heart of any controversies over Doctrine. Conclusions deal with what, then, is naval Doctrine: common cultural perspective, fundamental principles, shared way of harmonious thinking, the art of the admiral, the heart of naval warfare.

Navy and Military Doctrine in France.
1994Co-Authors: James J. TrittenAbstract:Abstract : History of Doctrine in the French Navy 1300-1994 and contrast with Military Doctrine. Navy Doctrine was primarily defensive and attrition-oriented. With this Doctrine, Royal French Navy achieved high levels of combat success. After the revolution, doctrinal development and combat success were affected negatively, unlike in the French Army, there have not been major debates over Doctrine did not routinely occur in the French Navy. One major exception is the period of discussion over the June Ecole (new school). France had a well-developed navy Doctrine for multinational operations. They also experimented with new doctrinal concepts at sea. The French Navy did not confuse initiative with only offensive warfare. There is a history of initiative being an integral part of defensive warfare at sea. Doctrine changed most often with changes in government rather than changes in Military technology. Many extremely valuable lessons can be learned from a review of doctrinal history in the French Navy and most of these lessons are valid today.
