Leveraging Operational Intelligence
Found this interesting quote in the abstract of Leveraging Operational Intelligence - The Battle of Tannenberg and Masurian Lakes (1914)
A commander’s ability to leverage operational intelligence remains a cornerstone for managing the uncertainty, fog, and friction of war in this era of seemingly endless advances in battlefield awareness and information dominance. Operational intelligence, properly understood and utilized, can become a force multiplier maximizing traditional operational art factors. The goal is information superiority thereby increasing the speed at which decisions are made, while preempting enemy choices and courses of action.
