0:00 44:15

Season 1 Episode 2 of the Operational Arch examines the evaluation and assessment of operational art to determine how students of war may glean lessons, good or bad, on how forces employ operational art.

Our guest, Australian Army Major General (Ret.) Mick Ryan, provides insights on the relationship between design and operational art, the strategy of corrosion in relationship to attrition or annihilation, how we can prepare ourselves to understand when intangible aspects of war such as culmination or operational reach are occurring, in addition to the influence design plays on execution. Australian Army Major General (Ret.) Mick Ryan is a world-respected strategist with service in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan, author of War Transformed: The Future of Twenty First Century Great Power Competition and Conflict, and is a 2003 graduate of the US Marine Corps School of Advanced Warfighting. MAJs Josh Bedingfield, Dan Warner, and Kelsey Kurtz are the hosts for this episode. You can contact them at operationalarch@gmail.com with any questions you may have.
