- W2487619777 abstract "Strategic and operational planning in war, while dependent on many different aspects of military thought, is also a narrative art form. War plans present a hypothetical future, constructing a fiction that shapes one side’s actions while also anticipating those of the enemy. War games test these fictions, but combat remains the real test, subjecting narratives to actual circumstances that, along with the counternarratives of an enemy, force violent “revisions.” Through this rough narrative process, military planners practice their art. In contrast, actual combatants experience the very real chaos and violence that rarely resembles those elegant plans. With the battle over, planners use after-action reports to craft new narratives from these recorded fragments of experience. This process demands interpretation as well as reconstruction, adapting narratives in light of actual events to develop a deeper understanding of their significance—a kind of military hermeneutics. Both sides take away from battle a different set of interpretations, and so the process continues. In the end, imaginative or interpretive failure can lead to military failure. If one cannot imagine more comprehensively than an enemy, one risks being subjected to the enemy’s narrative of events. Many factors make for victory, but at one level, wars are won by the most honest, imaginative, and resilient storytellers." @default.
