Title:
Dominating Duffer's Domain: Lessons for the U.S. Army Information Operations Practitioner
Report Date:
2017-01-01
Abstract:
This report is written in the style and tradition of an important military teaching text: The Defence of Duffers Drift. Written by Major General Sir Ernest Swinton in 1904 based on his experience as a field-grade officer during the Boer War, Duffer's Drift became a military classic over the course of the following century because it so effectively taught principles of tactical defense. In Swinton's text, the fictional narrator, Lieutenant Backsight Foresight, experiences a series of six dreams; in each, he is charged with the same mission (the defense of Duffer's Drift), and in each (save the last) he fails spectacularly, though in new and different ways, having learned from each of the previous failures until he is finally, before awakening, successful.
