Military biases discourage the building of survivable forces:
• Military bureaucracies are interested in having more resources, nucs are expensive, if you
spend money on them you have fewer other things like military hardware missiles,
aircraft etc.
• Organizational plans for war and conceptions of deterrence do not require invulnerable
forces, militaries will not have incentives to pursue building them.
• Military organizations need routines to coordinate and such routines are inflexible and
slow to change. Poorly designed SOPs can undermine a survivable military force.
Routines produce ‘signatures” to enemy forces revealing otherwise ‘hidden” units
• Organizations tend to learn only after failures
