THE VALUE of Warfighting Innovation by THOM HAWKINS and TOM HOUSEL
A t 2300 Zulu, an air-to-surface missile, guided by laser to its objective, makes impact. The battle damage assessment confirms that the target has been destroyed. Mission accomplished! A great deal of effort has been invested in this mission, encompassing intelligence gathering and logistics, as well as technology development and command and control. We all share in the success. Any attempt to attribute credit to one system or another is beneath us as a military.
