Synopsis "Understanding First in the Contemporary Operational Environment (in English)"
The United States Army has predicated its ability to dominate the full spectrum of military operations on the ability to "See First, Understand First, Act First and Finish Decisively.

From this analysis, the study identifies areas in which the U.S. Army must change its a
