Learned of this book via a podcast -- Amos Fox and Revolution in Military Affairs perhaps? Or was it #OperationalArch? Whoever it was, it proved to be a valuable recommendation. Particularly insightful on the challenges of planning in a coalition, with limited resources and divergence on agreeing on what is truly essential. My TOP take-aways: (1) thinking through nuclear battlefields is sobering but necessary, (2) defense funding is not the only factor in assessing "costs", and (3) the Pentomic Division (1956-9) was a dead letter given contemporary conditions, but perhaps offers a start point on how we think about dispersion and mass on today's battlefield.

Great era our history to study to inform some of our current debates both internal to DOD and beyond that spectrum into US then global politics. A demonstration that radical DOTMLPF changes, this case with the Pentomic Division, can be a good or terrible move. There’s one thing to be bold but another to increasing risk by not quite thinking through the problem fully.
