Abstract
Military doctrine—learned or inherited, Lamarckian or Darwinian—provides a backbone from which, over space, time, and social structure, operational, and eventually, tactical scale activities, are expressed. In a sense, this construct is the “body” that engages in actions driven by a strategy that may itself be another expression of doctrine. Doctrine tells how to fight a war at the different scales and levels of organization of the confrontation.
