SURPRISE OR INSTANTANEITY ASA PRINCIPLE OF WAR

Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8

Abstract

The analysis of different military theories shows that the notions of “instantaneity” and “surprise” are frequently used as synonyms. Thus, in certain periods of the development of military science, in the works of different military analysts, as well as in the regulating documents, as principles of war we can encounter, at times, the term “instantaneity” and, at times, the term “surprise”. One question arises: “Should these two terms be considered identical, bearing in mind their semantical proximity, or is it necessary to seek differences in their essence and purpose in military science?”
