Abstract

During the 1980s,Western militaries began developing operational-level doctrine and
training. Nearly a decade later, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) began to experiment
with similar ideas. The present Fresh Perspective will examine one: the IDF, the Operational Theory Research Institute (OTRI), and its failure.
