Dangerous Lessons: The Art and Science of Teaching Military Tactics


Overview

The truth is that armies rarely teach tactics. They drill procedures, rehearse checklists, and memorize doctrine - but the art of thinking and fighting, the essence of command, is left to chance. The result is predictable: leaders who can pass an exam but falter when lives depend on their judgment. Dangerous Lessons is a guide to breaking that cycle. It strips away the false comfort of rote answers and gives leaders the means to actually teach tactics - with all the risk-taking, creativity, and focus that requires. Inside, you'll learn how to: Train decision-makers, not box-tickers. Kill false lessons in training-before they kill soldiers in combat. Use mistakes to build skill, not to break confidence. Turn the chaos of battle to your own advantage. Poorly designed training leads to bad habits, and bad habits get soldiers killed. Dangerous Lessons shows leaders how to build training that forges judgment, initiative, and resilience - the real weapons of war. The best welfare for soldiers is good, realistic training. Dangerous Lessons shows you how to give them nothing less.
