The latest "Revolution in Military Affairs" occurred in the 1980s.It is over now.A new paradigm prevails.There will be no end to the technological miracles that alter the geometries of conventional battlefields and theaters while reshaping budgets and forces.But machines, no matter how magnificent, do not of themselves constitute a revolution.True revolutions happen, above all, in the minds of men.By that measure, the military has undergone a profound and irreversible revolution.The average officer today perceives the temporal, spatial, and mechanical dimensions of warfare in a radically different manner than did his predecessor of 20 years ago.The changes have been internalized to such a degree that we must pause and think about them in order to recognize how far we have come in a breathtakingly short period
