Teaching and learning the Operational Art of War

Diagram explaining where Strategy, Tactics & Operational Art overlap
An Appraisal of Advanced Military Studies by Major John F. Gifford. "In general, the term operational art is misleading, because it implies that it deals only with practice. However, like strategy and tactics, operational art is both an art and a science. Each component of military art demands reflection, study, and practical application. The art aspect means that operational art, like the other two components, is ambiguous and imprecise, requiring a creative and highly innovative approach to its application. Therefore, the term operations would be more appropriate.
