INNOVATION SHOEHORNING

New Combined Arms Ubiquity

Shoehorning

Incorporate the innovation into existing ways of doing business. E.G. replace pike with bayonet

Brigading
Segregate the innovation into its own organizational box. Example-Strategic Bombing

Ubiquity
Innovation disseminates broadly across the institution Examples: -Machine guns on everything from infantry to airplanes -Airplanes on all types of ships -GPS for everyone

New Combined Arms

Recast Doctrine around the innovation. Examples: Re-arrange Pike/Musket square into linear formation with rolling volley re. Heavy weapons (Storm) units in WW I and II, mix of machine guns, mortars, infantry.

Bo2om line
Even when innovation has proven its value, there still remains uncertainty about how and where it ts in the organization. It may pass through several boxes

Frank Homan, April 2012 Proceedings on

CS-21

Good Strategy involves hard choices, clear objectives, a continuous assessment of risks, and priorities. a refreshed iteration of CS-21 should do the same.

Strategy Answers Ques'ons

"Any strategic decision is in essence

unusually simple. It answers the questions, who, where, and when? In reality, strategy knows only three elements of measure: mass, space, and time."

A.A. Svechin

Naval Strategy Theory

With 30,000 men in transports the Englishcan paralyze 300,000 of my Army, and that will reduce us to a second-class power. Napoleon Bonaparte

Preguring Corbe8 The Olney Dispatch

To Great Britain, 1895: The United States is practically sovereign on this continent and its at is law upon the subjects to which it connes its interposition. Why? It is not because of the pure friendship or good-will felt for it. It is not simply by reason of its high character as a civilized state, nor because wisdom and equity are the invariable characteristics of the dealing of the United States.

Olney as Corbe8 (cont)

It is because in addition to all other grounds, its innite resources combined with its ISOLATED POSITION render it MASTER of the situation and practically INVULNERABLE against ANY AND ALL OTHER POWERS. [SO THERE]

FROM THE SEA

Purpose-Corbe8
...INTEGRATES SEAPOWER WITH OTHER ELEMENTS OF NATIONAL POWER

END or ENDSTATES?
Protect our way of life Protecting the homeland

Consistent with the grand strategic ends enumerated in the Preamble to the Constitution.

secure United State from direct attack ..secure strategic access retain global freedom of action strengthenalliances and partnerships establish favorable security conditions

Means
US NAVY US Coast Guard US Marine Corps $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$/Popular Will (ways or

means?)

To successfully implement this strategy the Sea Services must collectively expand the core capabilities of U.S. seapower to achieve a blend of peacetimeandcombat capabilities.
How is this workin out?

Robert Kaplan
CS-21 a nuanced call for a bigger Navy?

If so, per Homan: The next iteration should be more forceful, and less nuanced.*

*From Homans April Proceedings article

Homans Cri'que
Not enough linking of ends ways and

More specically, meansbigger navy

Forward Presence (Where?) Deterrence (Who?) Sea Control (Where?) Power Projection (Where? When?)

Power Projection (Where? When? How? Maritime Security (what??) Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response

(where?)
Improve Integration and Interoperability (Huh?)
