Grasp the evolving logic behind modern operations with Understanding the Military Design Movement, 1st Edition by Ben Zweibelson. This thoughtful, timely exposition guides readers through the rise of design thinking inside military institutions and explains how creative problem framing reshapes planning at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels.

Inside, Zweibelson translates complex theory into practical insight, blending historical examples, doctrinal analysis, and clear frameworks that make the movement accessible to officers, defense planners, policymakers, and security professionals across the United States and allied nations.
