Effectiveness of Military Performance

Abstract

Before an actual conflict begins, it is unknown whether and to what extent the military capabilities generated in peacetime can actually provide effective military performance. Only real conflicts allow the armed forces to test the effectiveness of any military capabilities they have generated in the past. Just like a private firm does not know actual turnover until shops report sales figures, information about the effectiveness of military conflicts is not created until an actual conflict begins.
