Doducment on modern military strategy:
"Même si, depuis Napoléon, l’attente stratégique, est un form of action reconnu car elle permet d’exploiter immédiatement le premier faux pas de l’adversaire , le ralentissement du rythme peut également être source de difficultés importantes. L’aspect désengagement d’une force fait, par exemple, partie intégrante du concept d’operation qui a initialisé son action. Il correspond souvent à une baisse d’intensité de l’appréciation conflictuelle du rapport de forces monitoring d’une réversibilité de la montée en puissance initiale".

Faced with this "crisis of basic security premises," French defense planners must develop a credible doctrine and strategy for what Poirier calls a "transition period" characterized by "a posture of strategic waiting:" an attitude of readiness with no clearly defined adversary.
