The Transformation Trinity: A Model for Strategic Innovation and Its Application to Space Power

Major McClintock develops a generalized model for United States military transformations in peacetime. He combines observations made by several historians about recurrent trends in military strategic innovation. He concludes that, after taking into account inevitable uncertainty, there are three identifiable factors that occur in most cases of military transformation. Major McClintock provides recommendations about how to apply the model in the future and possible approaches to the challenge of strategic innovation with regard to space power.
