**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Most military organizations are engaged in a process of drastic transformation, trying to scale their activities, learn from contemporary battlefields, and improve readiness. The unravelling of the post-Cold War order has intensified geopolitical tensions, driving a global increase in defense spending. Yet armed forces engaged in such reforms must solve a major dilemma: how to adapt to an uncertain future without losing their current identity, coherence or operational effectiveness. In this incisive and timely study, Olivier Schmitt explores how modern militaries adapt, or fail to adapt, to evolving threats, technologies and political constraints.
