Coup D\u27Oeil: Strategic Intuition in Army Planning

Abstract

Dr. William Duggan shows how to reconcile analytical and intuitive methods of decisionmaking, by drawing on recent scientific research that brings the two together. He applies this new research to the Army\u27s core methods of analytical decisionmaking as found in FM 5-0, Army Planning and Orders Production. The result is strategic intuition, which bears remarkable resemblance to von Clausewitz\u27s idea of coup d\u27oeil in his classic work, On War. Dr. Duggan\u27s study provides a theoretical overview of strategic intuition and practical suggestions for amending FM 5-0 to take it into account.https://press.armywarcollege.edu/monographs/1728/thumbnail.jp
