Building Resilience Is Army’s Pacific Challenge
Gen. Robert B. Brown
It may be a shortcoming of the English language to lack a word befitting the complexity of the global battlefield, or perhaps we’ve done a disservice to past battlefields by describing them as “complex.†Suffice it to say, “complex†(and all its synonyms) rings shallow when we talk about the ongoing and changing character of warfare. That its dictionary definition merely regurgitates synonyms should give the idea that we’re circling the matter at hand. And yet, at the risk of falling short of conveying its significance, today’s battlefield is one of barely imaginable complexity, challenging leaders to break from molds of the past and demand from themselves and their subordinates the innovative and adaptable ability to thrive in ambiguity and chaos.
