Operational Level of War

The Operational Level of War refers to the planning and execution of military operations that link strategy (the broader goals) with tactics (the specific battles). It involves organizing forces, resources, and actions over a larger timeframe and area to achieve strategic objectives. This level focuses on coordinated activities, such as troop movements, logistics, and intelligence, ensuring that various units work together effectively. It helps commanders translate high-level strategies into actionable plans, providing a framework for achieving success in military campaigns.
