Summary/Abstract: NATO commanders at all levels, operating in different theaters of the Global War on Terror or the Long War, as it was renamed by the Obama administration, are facing a serious problem – the adversary seems to have the strategic initiative. Thus, no matter how detailed an operations plan and irrespective of the level its objectives are achieved, the opponent seems invincible. Part of the predicament might reside in the way NATO plans and executes operations, process which does not offer sufficient tools for swiftly adapting to an extremely fluid strategic environment.
