Some Difficulties of Correlation between Strategy and Operational ArtReviewed - Review

Ing. Ján Spišák, Ph.D.

The article deals with correlation of strategy and operational art. The aim of the article is to point on deficit of relationship between political decision-making and military planning. The first part of the article simply introduces doctrinal tools of operational art, applicable at both the operational and strategic level. The second part refers to the fact that application of some standard elements of operational art in terms of overall strategic framework loses partly importance because of their use in the context of unconventional conflict has been less appropriate. The third part deals with criticism of the mutual undesirable separation of politicians and military professionals involved in operations planning. Conclusion of the article offers possible solutions of this deficit.

Keywords: Strategy, Operational Art, Centre of Gravity, Operation, Doctrine, End State.
