Guys,
I'm a Brit officer at our staff college and have recently started my research paper. So far I've got a working title of "Strategic Corporal: Man or Myth, does the Krulak thesis stand the test of time?" My intent is to discuss:

1. What is actually meant by the term? Can a relatively junior soldier actually implement strategy? Is it instead just a recognition that every time someone makes a mistake it appears on the news 10 mins later.

2. Have we actually seen an explosion of these people in our new 3 block war era or is it just business as usual?

I'd be grateful for any thoughts the learned body might have or suggestions for research resources.

TIA
