War as economics, war as politics, war as security: war as survival by any other name. Not much will change about the faces of war in the future. What will change is warfare, as Brett Friedman (paraphrasing Clausewitz) so aptly pointed out. The drift of strategy over time is beyond my realm of comfortable address, however common sense says that tactics change as our tools, skillsets, and enemies change. What will not alter is our need for capable leadership. To prepare for an uncertain future of amorphous threats, we must find and/or train leaders who can see past the confines of their professions so to speak, leaders who can balance the abstraction necessary for this vision with their connection to the people they lead and who have the deep organizational and operational skills necessary to implement swift changes as circumstances demand.
