Title ProperKnow the Environment, know the enemy, know the target
LanguageENG
AuthorJonathan, White ;  Filipowski, Sean
Publication2014.
Summary / Abstract (Note)Chief of Naval operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert has described the U.S. Navy as America' s away team. The sport reference reflects one of the CNO's main tenets: "Operated forwards". The goal is to ensure that our nation's conflicts are conducted in the backyards og our adversaries, not ours. We take the fight to them.
But any sport enthusiast knows about the home-field advantage, the benefits that accrue to the local team when playing in its own environment, which it knows better than the visiting team does. This applies in warfare as well. Taking the fight to the enemy risk giving him the home-field advantage.
