Features: In recent years, a revolution has been taking place in the technological field of war. New weapons have emerged. In terms of destructive power, range, and delivery speed, they surpass all known weapons. This book is a companion to Deterrence and Fear. It delves deeper into how deterrence will emerge as a genuine military transformation in modern warfare. The author's intention is to provide national decision-makers with a comprehensive set of strategies for rapidly responding to crises, winning large-scale regional wars, and conducting "non-war military operations." This book is a companion to Deterrence and Fear: The Way to Quickly Defeat the Enemy. It systematically discusses the concepts, characteristics, force composition, technologies used, and the political, budgetary, and social responses that this concept will face in achieving the goal of "quickly defeating the enemy." The book argues that the "quickly defeating the enemy" theory is a completely different defense concept from the current one, and the "quickly defeating the enemy" forces it produces are also entirely different from the existing "force-on-force" forces that hold absolute superiority. If Deterrence and Fear: The Way to Quickly Defeat the Enemy is a preliminary exploration of the "deterrence theory," focusing more on "deterrence and fear," then Quickly Defeating the Enemy: A True Military Revolution focuses more on specific methods and the argument for the "way of quickly defeating the enemy." The author proposes that their intention is to provide national decision-makers with a "toolkit" to quickly address crises, win large-scale regional wars, and carry out "non-war military operations," offering a "revolutionary" approach to defense and military construction. The two works together form a complete theoretical system of "deterrence theory," providing theoretical support for the current U.S. national security strategy ("preemption") and operational concepts ("theory of rapid victory").
