“…For Vegetius (1996: 63), the importance of tactical exercise was paramount, as is evident in the subsequent but less commonly quoted maxim ‘he who wants victory, let him train soldiers diligently’. We also find a combat-oriented perspective in arguments that training improves the overall tactical efficiency of armies in order to prepare them for war (Frazier and Wesley Hutto, 2017; Jomini, 1996: 43–44) and in studies emphasizing small-group solidarity and cohesion, control of emotions, and esprit de corps (Delbrück, 1985: 10; Jones, 2001: 253; Martin, 2005: 262). The tactical dimension of war thereby points to how one important rationale of military exercises is to create and improve the ability to fight efficiently (Clausewitz, 1976: 95).…”

This article analyzes how contemporary military training and exercises shape and reify specific modalities of war. Historically, military training has shifted from being individual- and experience-oriented, towards becoming modelled into exercise environments and practices. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with military officers, exercise controllers, and war-game designers, the article distinguishes between tactical training, characterized by military functions embodied through weapon platforms in a demarcated battlespace, and operational training, characterized by administrative and organizational processes embodied through self-referential staff routines. As military exercises integrate the tactical and operational dimensions into a model for warfare, they serve as blueprints for today’s battles at the same time as they perpetuate a martial viewpoint of the world. As a result, preparations for potential future conflicts constitute a fertile ground for apprehending the becoming of war.

“…In their article, Frazier and Hutto used multinational military exercises (MMEs) to explain their role in improving cooperation and solving common security problems. By identifying security threats, the role of MMEs was not only limited to fields, such as "strategy, technology, experience, and organizational culture" [9] but also consolidated state socialization by enhancing military and security mechanisms under the framework of MMEs, especially in challenging the traditional sense of military power and practicing new military and security orders. rough doctrine development across the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of MMEs, it could be seen that MMEs were effective mechanisms to develop its role in military and security.…”

The paper explores the factors that will influence the effectiveness of global military and security mechanisms. This topic has been studied for many years, however, scholars’ perspectives are limited to explain this topic, especially for the dynamics of these mechanisms. To address this limitation, the paper discusses the development of current military and security mechanisms and compares their differences based on various reasons using different case studies. Through the analysis of factors on the impacts of military and security mechanisms, the paper hopes to provide new perspectives that can help understand this issue and explores ways to distinguish the effectiveness of military and security mechanisms in reality.

“…Tangentially, inexperience with this environment compared to regional neighbors encourages dependence on capable partners when learning how best to utilize the environment (Wallace 2008;Atkinson 2006;Sechser and Saunders 2010;Frazier and Hutto 2017). This reduces the likelihood of employing domestic and regional strategic cultures as the lens through which the material and strategic environment are interpreted.…”

Tracing Strategic Preferences in Cyberspace: The Role of Regional and Domestic Strategic Culture

Our understanding of strategic preferences in cyberspace rests on the material and strategic factors that shape state behavior. This, however, is derived from the actions of established cyber powers. Given the material resources required to effectively operate in this environment and repeated interactions that form the boundaries of accepted behavior, the literature does not adequately explain the emergence of strategic preferences among novice actors. The article posits that these are not exclusively the function of either the material or strategic factors. Instead, strategic culture features prominently in the selection of strategic preferences that shape state behavior in cyberspace.
