Experimentation, legitimacy, and lived experiences in military innovation
Militaries increasingly experiment with data-driven technologies to enhance readiness and prepare for future warfare. Yet developing these technologies in-house poses significant challenges, particularly given the limited opportunities for real-world experimentation. This paper examines the Land Information Manoeuvre Centre (LIMC), an experimental Dutch army innovation hub active during the COVID-19 pandemic but without a formal legal mandate. Th…
This Is Not What I Signed up for
Many militaries envision a technologically advanced future with a strong innovative capability and therefore invest in so-called innovation hubs focused on experimenting with new modes of operation with drones and (semi-)autonomous vehicles. However, there appears to be a discrepancy between these military visions and soldiers' lived experiences on the ground. This article presents an ethnographic study of one innovation hub: the Robots and Auton…

Conflicting Notions on Violence and PTSD in the Military
Mission Command in the Information Age
Theory on the use of information technology in military operations assumes that bringing together units in an information network helps units to work together. Decentralized command systems such as mission command have been proposed for these networks, so that units can adapt to changes in their turbulent working environments. Others have proposed centralized command systems that permit higher organizational levels to closely direct military oper…
Mission Command in Dutch Peace Support Missions
Peace operations involving modern armed forces require a system of command in which responsibilities and authorities are delegated throughout the command line: mission command. Although mission command is popular in theory, in practice commanders appear to have problems with the delegation of authority. This study analyzed the practice of mission command in four Dutch case studies. The main analysis shows a relation between the granting of autono…
