Transformation Under Fire

The book explores the urgent need for military reform in light of modern warfare challenges, particularly drawing lessons from conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. It advocates for a shift towards small, mobile units and a simplified command structure to enhance interservice cooperation and responsiveness. MacGregor's controversial proposals, which align with the Bush administration's views, emphasize the necessity of redefining military operations as joint efforts. The integration of new technologies and a reimagined military culture are presented as crucial for future success in land warfare.
