Stu,
This does appear to have a very wide range. What exactly do you mean by 'change management'? Could it apply to those often credited with substantive changes to the military, Frederick the Great, Napoleon, von Moltke, Rommel, Haig, George Marshall, Alan Brooke etc?
Just as valid as leadership change, inevitably after a defeat, is the adoption of new technology and training. I do recall reading a good book on how the UK-based British Army developed before D-Day, which was a mixture of new leaders using new, well in fact WW1-based training methods to get the army back into a fighting army.
Have you looked at this historically, John Keegan's books come to mind, or such a recent contribution as Jim Storr's book 'The Human face of War'?
I am sceptical there is a 'generic military change management model'? If only that most nations take ideas from elsewhere and mould them to their likes.
There is an excellent thread on writing a thesis within this thread IIRC, with Selil and others weighing in.
