How we fight: A critical exploration of US military doctrine
运用利奥塔的现代宏大叙事理论和韦克的通用意义建构概念,批判性地审视美国军事学说如何被制度化,以及其系统性逻辑如何影响军事行动的概念化和执行。
This essay seeks to answer the question, ‘How can we understand and critically examine the role of doctrine by which US military operations are conceptualized and performed?’ I employ Jean-François Lyotard’s theory of the modernist grand narrative and Karl E. Weick’s construct of generic sensemaking to demonstrate and criticize how doctrine’s logic of systematicity has become institutionalized in US military.
