摘要：In February 2004, two bright Army analysts wrote an article published in ARMY Magazine about the need for a culture of innovation because of the risks of war. "Failure does not mean Chapter 11 and an updated re- sume," wrote then-Brig. Gen. David A. Fastabend and defense analyst Robert H. Simpson. "Failure means death and destruction for ourselves, our comrades and all that we cherish." Their groundbreaking discussion called for a cultural change to advance the importance of innovation. Indeed, the Army has innovated and developed new warfighting capabilities, in large part because the nation was at war. In war, a gap between expec ted and actual performance of a plan, tactic or system creates a demand signal for change.
