More DescriptionAbout Military Lessons of the Civil WarNine Principles, generally easy to remember, sometimes hard to apply, need always be present for any planner for any operation: ObjectiveUnity of CommandOffenseEconomy of ForceSurpriseSecuritySimplicityMassManeuver History shows that applying all nine simultaneously is difficult and while there are countless examples of failures of these principles; generally there are not many examples of successes.But these principles do not succeed on their own; initiative, imagination, training, operational tempo and leadership are other ingredients to success.
