warfare mastery institute

We just released the first two modules of our new course on North Africa 1940-1943. The course focuses on combat operations from the British, U.S. and German perspectives with a special focus on logistics, battlefield learning and doctrine development.

We are excited to announce that the Warfare Mastery Institute has joined forces with Dr. Bruce I. Gudmundsson’s “Tactical Notebook.” The Tactical Notebook includes hundreds of articles, original historical documents, decision exercises and other military education resources. WMI Members also receive complementary access to special paid features and resources.

The Path to Warfare Mastery is the Warfare Mastery Institute’s capstone publication upon which all other WMI courses and learning materials are based. This short outlines 5 critical steps for taking your military knowledge and expertise to the next level and will prove useful to any student of warfare. The wisdom contained in the book is based on common sense and is as old as war itself. Whether you are a military professional, scholar or enthusiast this book will change the way you approach your craft and help you combine timeless martial wisdom passed down over the ages with the latest, cutting-edge learning science and technologies.

The Warfare Mastery Institute is proud to announce our first case study e-book and associated online digital lessons on the The Bomber Offensive. The Combined Bomber Offensive was a coordinated effort between American and British bombers and fighter aircraft to attempt to bomb the Nazi war machine into submission. This book attempts to take new, innovative approaches to exploring this classic case study by analyzing how American and British leaders made decisions, solved problems and adapted to changes on the battlefield.

This 1-minute introduction trailer is a preview for the Battle of Britain Decision-Making Exercise (Vignette), one of the lessons that is part of our larger European Air War online course. The lesson uses Outcomes Based Learning (OBL) methodology to put you in the shoes of Hugh Dowding (commander of RAF Fighter Command) and challenge you to solve problems and make decisions.

This short but illuminating strategic analysis uses animated timelines and maps to help you visualize key factors relating to the question: How decisive was the Battle of Midway? While it is clear that Midway was a great victory, did it truly change the course of the war? What might have happened had the Japanese won the battle? This lesson examines such questions and proposes that the Battle of Midway was indeed decisive, but not in the way many people believe that it was.
