The principles of Military Strategy are:
The principle of mass - given all things being equal, sending a single tactical allied unit to combat a single tactical enemy unit will result in 50% chance of defeat, resulting in a 1 to 1 loss ratio at the strategic level. However, sending two or more units to combat a single enemy unit will result in a loss ratio of less than 1 to 1.
Selecting decisive objectives.
Taking the initiative from your foe.
Concentrating your resources at the decisive point.
Economizing your resources by reducing waste.
Coordinating the movement of your resources to meet your objective.
Maintaining unity of command. The term unity of command refers to the principle that a subordinate should have one and only one superior to whom he or she is directly responsible.
Coordinating your tasks to achieve maximum effectiveness.
Maintaining secrecy until it is too late for your opponent to react.
Employing unexpected elements such as deception, speed, creativity, and audacity.
Keep your plans as simple as is needed to accomplish the task.
Choose a flexible strategy so you can adapt to changing conditions.
Organize for maximum efficiency.
Maintain a positive morale even in the face of set-backs.
Maintain momentum until success is accomplished.
