Doctrine of eternal recurrence : the U.S. military and counterinsurgency doctrine, 1960-1970 and 2003-2006 /

This paper tests and ultimately disproves the assumption that doctrine as written and operations as conducted are tightly linked. Ingrained organizational concepts and beliefs have a much greater influence on operations than written doctrine.
