sample case study
Brechlandian Army from a powerful country was preparing to invade Lorenia, a weaker democratic country on the southern border. The ruler of Brechland, a vicious dictator, had been trying to convince the United Nations that the nomadic tribes in northern Lorenia were encroaching on Brechlandian territory. In reality, this was nothing more than a weak ploy to justify an attack to seize control of Lorenia’s vast water resources that Brechland so desperately needed. But a successful invasion of Lorenia was sure to be followed by the establishment of a tyrannical government, ethnic cleansing, and religious intolerance. The United Nations and world opinion was clearly on the side of Lorenia. The United States agreed to lead an international military force to protect the sovereignty of Lorenia, and, if necessary to defeat the Brechlandian Army and remove the country’s leader in order to put an end to the atrocities. COL Lewis got the call late on a Sunday night. By 0600 on Monday, his staff and subordinate commanders had been assembled and briefed. They had two weeks to get the entire UA to Lorenia. New doctrine had streamlined the planning process. What would have taken days or weeks to accomplish using the old military decision making process was completed in hours. Aside from a few minor glitches the deployment had gone well. Within a few days COL Lewis’s troops were on the Brechland–Lorenia border. (EXHIBIT-1: SAMPLE CASE SCENARIO; Col. Shattuck, USMA, 2004)
