Krieg im 21. Jahrhundert

[Quintus Fabius]

Über das wachsende Übermaß an Führung - welches ja nicht nur die Bundeswehr betrifft, sondern in fast allen westlichen Streitkräften zu einem Problem geworden ist, hier mal am Fallbeispiel der USA:

during World War II, ....the United States had 1,360, including 21 four-stars, in charge of roughly 12 million men and 350,000 women, more than 7,000 ships, nearly 300,000 airplanes, 86,000 tanks, 650,000 jeeps, etc., ....This worked out to each general or admiral commanding just more than 9,000 service personnel and each four-star commanding 571,000.

In sharp contrast, today’s military has 1.3 million active-duty personnel, fewer than 300 combat-ready Navy warships, 42 auxiliary ships, just more than 13,000 aircraft, and far fewer than 8,000 battle-ready tanks. This works out to each general/admiral commanding 1,440 service personnel, and each four-star officer commands an average of 31,700 service personnel.

Diving in a bit deeper, at the start of World War II, there was 1 officer for every 13 enlisted personnel.

Today, commissioned officers make up 18 percent of the armed forces, or about 1 officer for every 5 to 6 enlisted personnel.

Aber es ist eben nicht nur die bloße Anzahl der Offiziere, dass ganze reicht noch wesentlich tiefer. Buchempfehlung in genau diesem Kontext:
