This paper addresses the imbalance accorded to mastering time, an often ignored but important dimension in warfare, as the author argues. The paper claims that military transformation needs to seek not simply rapid dominance, but temporal dominance. According to the author's conclusions, a deeper understanding of how time affects strategy, along with a nuanced exploitation of perceptive differences of time can help explain why operational rapidity alone is insufficient for strategic success.
