Description

In May Western officials said that Mr Putin was taking decisions that would usually be made by a colonel or brigadier. I mean, the view was that a lot of your best units get used up and suffer in the early stages of the war. He has been described as the "dean of British strategic studies" [2] and was a member of the Iraq Inquiry.

And the ranting speech he gave on 21 February [three days before Russia invaded] is still as good a guide as anything to believe what he thinks.He has written extensively on nuclear strategy and the cold war, as well as commentating regularly on contemporary security issues, and provides book reviews for Foreign Affairs. It is clear from Freedman’s account of the command element of the Falkland campaign that the British had two immediate priorities.

Sam is an education policy expert who was a Senior Policy Advisor to the then Secretary of State for Education Michael Gove from 2010 to 2013 and is a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government. Van Creveld by contrast offered what he described as a ‘happy’ definition of command as ‘a function that has to be exercised, more or less continuously, if the army is to exist and to operate’. To summarise the work in one sentence, Freedman’s central hypothesis is that civil primacy in matters of conflict in tandem with an intellectually rigorous and evidence-based approach to war-fighting are the essential prerequisites for victory. And the Russians have got a real problem in terms of whether they move all those troops back from Kherson, where they went to meet the offensive that’s still going on there and still important I think to Ukrainians.He was the official historian of the Falklands Campaign, and a member of the official inquiry into Britain and the 2003 Iraq War ('the Chilcot Inquiry'). Because the concept of command is essentially anti-democratic and comes from a time of absolute rule, it has posed a challenge for democracies. First, if you’re gonna use weapons to turn around a military situation, you need high concentrations of Ukrainian forces and the Ukrainians haven’t concentrated their forces in that sort of way. As communications improved, with telegraph and radios, railroads and cars, then the function became ever more challenging.
