Summary/Abstract: Most current sources of conflict will exist five, 15 and even more years from now. But it is very likely, in the author’s opinion, that significant changes will occur in the way battles are conducted. Moreover, no army can anticipate the way in which a future enemy will use imagination to surprise and, consequently, to prepare in advance for that kind of battle. The only way of thinking, then, is the one of the paradigm that is open to adapt quickly to any change in the conduct of the future conflict both at the technical and at the human resource level. Any conflict, in the future, will have a common feature: violent confrontation, in a combination of risk, chance and volatile nature, in which one must strike a balance in front of apparently irrational attacks.
