AB  - "The purpose of this chapter is twofold. Firstly, a rather paradoxical situation  will be discussed. Even though most military practitioners seem to agree  on the characteristics of war, two almost diametrically-opposed norms for how to  samhandle have arisen: a centralized one and a decentralized one. We argue that the  decentralized approach, called Auftragstaktik, is the most effective. In the second  part of the chapter we discuss the pedagogical challenge of educating personnel to  thrive in a decentralized organization, which must operate effectively in unforeseen  and threatening environments. Based on the teachings of Moltke the Elder (1800–  1891) and the much more recent writings of Torgersen, Steiro and Saeverot (2015),  we argue that a crucial step in educating for the unforeseen is to give the students  the opportunity to solve new problems by themselves, gaining experience that is, as  far as possible, self-generated and thereby becoming more aware and confident in  dealing with new situations."
