Military science is the study of military processes, institutions, and behavior, along with the study of warfare, and the theory and application of organized coercive force. It is mainly focused on
theory, method, and practice of producing
military capability in a manner consistent with
national defense policy. Military science serves to identify the
strategic,
political,
economic,
psychological,
social,
operational,
technological, and
tactical elements necessary to sustain relative advantage of
military force; and to increase the likelihood and favorable outcomes of
victory in peace or during a war. Military scientists include theorists, researchers, experimental scientists, applied scientists, designers, engineers, test technicians, and other
military personnel.
