Abstract: The article "Operational Myopia: A Fatal Fallacy" by Col. Daniel Sukman discusses the lack of a unified theory of success at the strategic level for the joint force, focusing on recent conceptual work and the need for a unified strategic approach to war. It highlights the importance of strategic concepts like the U.S. Marine Corps' Force Design 2030 and the pitfalls of operational myopia, using historical examples to emphasize the necessity of strategic thinking. The article calls for a strategic concept that considers the future strategic environment, the role of the joint force, and the institutional aspects of warfare, emphasizing the need for intellectual readiness and unclassified communication.
