Abstract
AbstractSun Tzu's The Art of War was written in 500 BCE and remains the quintessential doctrine on strategic and tactical planning for war. According to Sun Tzu, the most effective strategy for victory is not to enter battle at all. The Department of Defense (DOD) is facing a new “battlefield,” as encroachment and unexploded ordnance issues are threatening the military's ability to train. Applying Sun Tzu's tenets to this new battlefield allows the DOD to avoid the legal, regulatory, and public opinion “battle ” by building and maintaining effective relationships with those most affected by range and training activities. Sun Tzu says, “Know your enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril.” In today's world, understanding the “enemy,” whether it be interests outside the fence, inside the fence, or personal value systems is essential to building and maintaining the relationships necessary to declare “victory ” on sustainable ranges. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
