Revisiting the Staff: Static or Dynamic.

摘要

This monograph examines the US Army tactical staff. Although the staff's importance to tactical success is recognized, it remains the product of evolutionary development. Rather than adapting in a proactive manner, changes in staff structure and organization continue as a result of responding to previous conditions and problems. The monograph first provides a background of staff development. The history of the staff is analyzed, assessing the relationship between technology and the need for staff representation that could best extract leverages from technological innovations. Establishing this relationship provides insight into changing requirements for today's staff. Control, Staff, Tactical, Command, Development.
