Summary of Antulio J. Echevarria II's Military Strategy

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Military strategy is the practice of reducing an opponent’s physical capacity and willingness to fight, and continuing to do so until one’s aim is achieved. It takes place in wartime as well as peacetime, and may involve using force, directly or indirectly, as a threat.

#2 The practice of military strategy has always been about finding ways to weaken an adversary’s material capacity and willingness to fight with respect to one’s aims. Grand strategy is the concern of the head of state, and it is often but not always separate from the business of the general.

#3 Grand strategists and military commanders attempt to out-position their rivals by building alliances and coalitions, or by securing treaties and agreements that increase or preserve their power relative to their rivals.

#4 Military strategy is the equivalent of national military strategy in contemporary defense literature. It describes how a state will use its military power in pursuit of its policy goals.
