Sound Military Decision

"Sound Military Decision" by the U.S. Naval War College is a guide from the early 1900's about making good choices in the military. It teaches leaders how to think strategically to be more effective. The book starts by explaining that learning these specific ways of thinking can improve a leader’s judgment. It then explores the connection between what a country wants to do (national policy) and how the military should act. The book emphasizes the importance of commanders using their mental abilities well. This sets the stage for the rest of the book, which explores military strategy, tactics, having a shared vision, and using military rules wisely when making decisions.
