Capability development, the military "strength"

Capability development, which is often referred to as the military “strength,” is arguably one of the most complex activities known to humanity because it requires determining: strategic, operational and tactical capability requirements to counter the identified threats; strategic, operational and tactical doctrines by which the acquired capabilities will be used; identifying concepts, methods and systems involved in executing the doctrines; creating design specifications for the manufacturers who would produce these in adequate quantity and quality for their use in combat; purchase the concepts, methods and systems; create force structures that would use the concepts, methods and systems most effectively and efficiently; integrate these concepts, methods and systems into the force syoceture by providing military education and training, a process which intends to establish and improve the capabilities of military personnel in their respective roles, and practice, or “military exercise” and “war game” in American English, the employment of military resources in training for military operations, either exploring the effects of warfare or testing strategies without actual combat, that preferably resembles combat environment of intended use; create military logistics systems, the discipline of planning and carrying out the movement and maintenance of military forces, to allow continued and uninterrupted performance of military organizations, or the structuring of the armed forces of a state so as to offer military capability required by the national defence policy, under combat conditions, including provision of health services to the personnel and maintenance for the equipment the services to assist recovery of wounded personnel and repair of damaged equipment and finally post-conflict mobilization, the process of standing down a nation's armed forces from combat-ready status, and disposal of war stocks surplus to peacetime requirements.

Development of military doctrine, the concise expression of how many forces contribute to campaigns, major operations, battles, and engagements, is perhaps the more important of all capability development activities because it determines how military forces were, and are used in conflicts. It also determines the concepts and methods used by the command to employ appropriately military skilled, armed--a “soldier” is the one who fights as part of an organized land-based armed force; if that force is for hire, the person is generally termed a mercenary soldier, or mercenary--and equipped personnel in achievement of the tangible goals and objectives; military technology is the collection of equipment, vehicles, structure and communication systems that are designed for use in warfare. This could be for the following: war, an organized, armed and often a prolonged conflict that is carried on between states, nations, or rather parties typified by extreme aggression, social disruption, and usually high mortality; campaign, in military sciences, applies to a large scale, long duration, significant military strategy plan incorporating a series of interrelated military operations or battles forming a distinct part of a larger conflict often called a war; battle, generally is a conceptual component in the hierarchy of combat in warfare between two or more armed forces, or combatants; engagement; action; or a duel, generally signifying an arranged engagement in combat between two individuals, with matched weapons in accordance with agreed-upon rules.

The line between strategy and tactics is not easily blurred, although deciding which is being discussed had sometimes been a matter of personal judgment by some commentators, and military historians. The use of forces at the level of organization between strategic and tactical is called operational mobility. It is a military theory concept during the period of mechanization of armed forces, became a method of managing movement of forces by strategic commanders from the staging area to their Tactical Area of Responsibility.
