| | Strategy: Definitions and Meaning |
| | Strategy is the bridge between policy or high-order goals on the one hand and tactics or concrete actions on the other. | | | Thus it is that strategy and tactics bridge the gap between ends and means. | | | Strategy is a term that comes from the Greek strategia, meaning "generalship." In the military, strategy often refers to maneuvering troops into position before the enemy is actually engaged. |

| | Even in the context of the strategy process, the classic differentiation still seems relevant in the sense that tactics govern the use of forces on the battlefield while grand strategy and military strategy bring forces to the battlefield. | | | Fundamental to the military strategy step in the process is the development of an appropriate military strategy to achieve national objectives. | | | Thompson contends that the military viewed pacification as the "other war" when, in fact, it was the same war in a different costume. |
