| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A military doctrine provides the basic principles that shape the way a nation's military forces are employed to achieve national objectives and creates the appropriate framework for response to national security issues. Doctrinal assessments are self-administered and require significant input in both the military and political spheres. The resulting declared doctrine is, thus, a carefully crafted article having been scrutinised at both political and military levels. A doctrine gives a clear insight into the kind of wars/conflicts states may anticipate and choose to deploy/employ the military force. In short, understanding the use, importance and reliance on doctrinal formation is critical to how states weigh military/national capabilities. |
