time all the major powers had tanks, but they could only imagine them as mobile artillery or armored calvary it was the germans who first understood that a tank is a tank, and they build entirely new operational concepts around it and realized its true potential to similarly, the united states navy in the 1930s adopted itself despite fervent opposition at times both internally and externally from a force built around around the battleship to one organized around carrier aviation. he military leaders at that time anticipated the opportunities that aviation presented, develop novel ways to fight with aircraft at sea, preferred our nation to wage and win a new type of naval warfare. we face similar challenges now. instead think about how cyber or unmanned systems or other new technologies can simply enable us to do things we are already doing now, we must discern the real potential of these capabilities. both how they may be used against us and how they should be used by us. then we must rethink and reimagine and reshape our military around the disruptive new technologists. that's the only way
