Home›Strategy and Doctrine›All Strategy and DoctrineBrowse ByAll Strategy and DoctrineReference and ClassificationDevelopingThis section is the top-level band for named military theories and doctrines, the durable ideas about how war ought to be fought, rather than any one instance of fighting it. A visitor here is looking for a doctrine's own core claim and the era it took hold in, not the commander credited with originating it or the campaigns that tested it, both reached from a doctrine's entry through its own edges rather than held here directly.FactsAll Strategy and DoctrineSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEarliest Era RepresentedWell-attestedAncient 1All Strategy and DoctrineFilter Results42 entriesOrigin EraAll-3000 (1)-387 (1)-359 (1)-217 (1)-216 (2)-52 (1)1099 (1)1174 (1)1187 (1)1206 (1)1590 (1)1690 (1)1800 (1)1805 (1)1806 (1)1808 (1)1861 (1)1890 (1)1915 (1)1917 (1)1921 (1)1928 (1)1929 (1)1935 (1)1939 (1)1946 (1)1947 (2)1950 (1)1954 (1)1958 (1)1961 (1)1962 (1)1964 (1)1966 (1)1980 (1)1982 (1)1985 (1)1996 (1)1998 (1)2010 (1)OriginatorAllAlexander the Great (1)Alfred Thayer Mahan (1)Dwight D.
