Résumé : |
In this second volume of the Mission Command Anthology, a team of new and returning authors offers diverse perspectives on the concept of Mission Command. Drawing from their first-hand experience as leaders as well as rigorous scholarship, they provide insight as relevant to the future of national defense as it is to how the reader will lead his or her own team. Mission Command II: The Who, What, Where, When and Why: An Anthology (known by its abbreviated title MC2) consists of a diverse and complementary collection of essays on the concept of Mission Command. At its core, Mission Command is a philosophy that tells subordinates what to achieve but not how to do it – subordinates control how best to achieve the commanders’ intent. It is an approach used by the UK Armed Forces that decentralises command by empowering subordinates, at every level, to act freely within specified constraints to achieve success. The anthology draws eighteen authors together, many of them serving or retired officers from the USA, Norway and the UK (including one Non-Commissioned Officer), along with historians and logisticians. Don Vandergriff is a retired US Army officer and an award winning author and teacher. His co-editor, Stephen Webber is a US Navy Reserve officer and a strategy and policy analyst. The contributors’ combined academic, professional, and experiential qualifications present a vast pool of knowledge that enriches the field of inquiry greatly and cements the credibility of the book. Testament to its originality, MC2 takes on a truly mixed approach to explore Mission Command. The book aims to promote discourse amongst the armed services around the true meaning and importance of the concept. For the authors, Mission Command involves everybody, at all levels, within the profession of arms. |
