MDMP for All Seasons: Modifying the MDMP for Success - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The U.S. Army 's Military Decision-Making (MDMP) has been criticized repeatedly during the past decade for being untimely, unrealistic, dogmatic, and stifling creativity. U.S. Army Field Manual, FM 5.0, Army Planning and Orders Production, is currently in final draft.
