The initial draft of FM 100-66 is scheduled for publication in August 1997. To date, there is no asymmetric opponent with an information-age capability against which US Army leaders, staffs and soldiers can train. Based on experience, it is reasonable to assume that writings by today's leading experts will eventually become doctrine for foreign forces.
Awareness is perhaps the best method.
75th Anniversary Edition on the Mark Congratulations to Military Review's editors for the finely composed 75th anniversary issue. General Donn A. Starry's and General William R. Richardson's introduction of AirLand Battle doctrine and then Colonel Huba Wass de Czege's testament on how an army was changed, together with General John W. Foss's clear explication of command and General Frederick M. Franks' framework for the Army's first post-Cold War doctrine, are key readings for anyone who would understand what will surely be seen as one of the great reform eras in US Army history. The debate was not precipitated or dominated by any single Army critic internal or external. But it was only one of several serious critiques of the Army's first and necessarily incomplete attempt, after Vietnam, to come to doctrinal grips with the strategic and tactical challenges of resurgent Soviet power. Let us recall that the active defense, which responded both to that very real threat to NATO Europe and to the stunning evidence in the 1973 Mideast War of a new, far more destructive generation of military technology, emerged in a political context of receding US power and accommodationist national policy.
