Quotes by Phil Ward (?)

“Thinking a situation through to the end and then going forward with the best available option—which is not always a great option—that’s the art of military decision-making at the Operational and Tactical level. Being able to select the best choice from a list of bad options when exigent circumstances force the issue is what separates the brilliant commander from the merely highly talented. Improvise, adapt, overcome and outsmart.”
― Phil Ward, Economy of Force
