PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT IN ITS RELATION TO THE SUCCESSFUL CONDUCT OF WAR

CHAPTER I

COMMAND AND ITS PROBLEMS

The Foreword, preceding, has explained the scientific
approach to the solution of military problems. It has been
brought to notice that the science of war can be utilized to
further sound military decision and, so, to improve the
practice of war, i.e., the art of war, whether under assumed
or actual conditions. The Foreword has also stressed the
importance of education for the development of judgment in
the application of mental power to the solution of military
problems.
