Strategy: A Brief Overview for Young Warriors
Strategy: A Brief Overview for Young Warriors
By Travis Knight, Capt, USMC Ret.
This presentation was made to the Games and Strategy Event hosted by Christian Service Brigade, Battalion 7117, Severna Park Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Pasadena, MD on the morning of 22 February, 2020.
“Good morning Warriors! It’s always nice to be here… an honor for me.
“I was asked to give a short talk on strategy which is really an oxymoron, right? Strategy is no short thing in any sense of the word. It’s the long game… it’s difficult to do a short speech on something that’s so broad. So what I’m going to do is break it down, break down what strategy is, I’m going to give you some quotes, I’m going to give you my perspective from my life and then I’m going to let you choose what to do with that.
“Another reason why it’s hard is that strategies are different. Strategies change with every situation. There’s not one strategy that works for everything. And even if you took any one situation, if you have more than one strategist they’re not going to come away with the same answers. It’s very individual. It’s your own personal background, it’s whoever you’ve been mentored by, and it’s your own set of experiences that will direct what you will do in any given situation. So my disclaimer is that listening to a talk about strategy will not necessarily guarantee that you will win at “Axis and Allies” today.
