It takes place over an extended area and is three dimensional.The Modern Style of Warfare may be said to have the following characteristics: From the solution to pressing tactical problems emerged the unforeseen possibility that the new techniques of deep attack might create a new operational paradigm.Įqually, as the means of prosecuting deep battle have become ever more sophisticated, so the logic of the Modern Style of Warfare has encroached upon and now dominates the strategic level. This Military Revolution had technological, tactical but most importantly conceptual components and that while elements of these already existed before the First World War, it took the shock of war to act as a catalyst for change. This was indeed so revolutionary that the burgeoning of armour, airpower and the arrival of the Information Age since then amount to no more than complements to it – incremental technical improvements to the efficiency of the conceptual model of the Modern Style of Warfare – and they are themselves rather its products than its peers.
It amounted to the birth of what might be termed the Modern Style of Warfare with the advent of 'three dimensional' artillery indirect fire as the foundation of planning at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of war.
Between 19 a military revolution took place which was the most significant development in the history of warfare to date, and remains so.
