Description

There seems to be something badly wrong with the command of western armed forces. Headquarters are too big. They produce orders which are too long. They take too long to do so. ‘Something Rotten’ looks at those problems by examining the command system as a whole. What is it for? What does it do? How does it do that? How is it structured and organised? Most importantly, what about the people who work in it? ‘Something Rotten’ points out logical and practical problems with organisations and processes. It challenges the reader as to why such problems exist and persist. It suggests abandoning much overt process; building up human expertise; relying on fewer but better-trained people; and deciding and acting much faster. ‘Something Rotten’ focusses largely on the command of land forces. Other uniformed (and not necessarily armed) services will, however, readily identify parallels and insights.

Author Biography:

Jim Storr was an infantry officer in the British Army for 25 years. He served in the Headquarters of British Forces Falklands Islands; the 1st Infantry Brigade (The United Kingdom Mobile Force); and United States European Command; in the British Army of the Rhine (three times), Northern Ireland, Canada and Cyprus. He gained a doctorate for considering the nature of military thought; planned the introduction of battlefield digital systems; and wrote high-level doctrine. In his second career he has consulted to international tech and oil companies; been a professor of war studies, and taught human factors at Oxford University. ‘Something Rotten’ is his fifth book.
