General in the trench is no place: how to make the high commanders understand the war

Military blogger Alexander Karpyuk does not see any benefit that the general will be shot in the trench. He will still not understand the service - and in order for the general to become real, you need to change the system that the trench will not correct. On the topic of "Generals in Okops". Unfortunately, this does not work.

It is impossible to put a person who has absolute power over others and who will voluntarily sit there, will study everything that operates the mouth, and will go to implement it. Will not be implemented. The general who hears the mouth and works on his needs is needed on the battlefield. Therefore, it is necessary to either increase their mouths to the positions on which they have an impact on the system, or organize a system that hears the needs of the platoon/mouthpiece/combat.

And the general in the trenade is a show that is organized at the expense of the habit . . . Ba fighters and the direct commander responsible for the sector. From the fact that the whole unit will not fight now, but to protect the general in position, he will not have a more understanding of the war. The general is more logist/war manager. Whose task is to coordinate chains according to the existing system.

From how this coordination is built, how effectively it responds to grassroots needs - indicates its effectiveness. The general can interact only within the existing army system. Will the mouth be transferred to the generals successful in this? Nit. These are all years of work in staffs. It is also necessary to be able. Will the seat in the trenches from General the best "logist of war"? Nit.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system that responds to the battlefield in time, to develop performance criteria for the command staff, to determine the weaknesses and strategies of their solution and to identify people who do not cope with it. It's difficult.

And problematic, it is not fast, because if we admit that we have about… the needed reforms - then someone has not coped with it before, and it is responsibility to the predecessor, which, of course, was in the reports and did everything right. And the system is always resisting with such a "detection". But it is necessary to recognize mistakes and correct them. Systemically. Unfortunately, we will not solve them with simple solutions.
