There are historical patterns to strategies for the conduct of war that are only fully understandable by seeking a close understanding of the human thread that runs through all war. This is counter to fashion, counter to the tendency to apply technology as an elixir against the trials of war. Although often neglected in the harrying bustle of the professional demands of a national security career, an enduring approach to the study of strategy and war should always include close readings and written responses to the educational habits of mind of foundational strategic thinkers as exemplified by the monoliths of military theory: Sun Tzu, Thucydides, and Clausewitz. Backing a broad professional discourse with these fundamentals must be a self-initiated approach to history and literature that can, over time, provide unique windows into Thucydides' vivid observation as to the human sources of war: fear, honor, and interest. In combination, these complementary, professionally structured and self-directed educational stratagems can serve officers on planning staffs and those in command as they advise civilian authorities in the executive and legislative branches and as they face down challenges, remain adaptive, and effectuate national military strategy despite the fog and friction of combat.
