Warfare is a chaotic and unpredictable undertaking. Elaborate plans quickly come apart under the stress of combat. Large, elaborate and complex military organizations do require planning to keep them going and it’s not easy to keep the procedures simple. The quality of your leaders and their ability to do the right thing in unison is the key.
