USAHEC: Landpower: CIVIL-MILITARY RELATIONS, THE CIVIL-MILITARY DIVIDE & PUBLIC RELATIONS

INTRODUCTION

"The key to healthy civil-military relations is trust on both the civilian and military sides of the negotiation: the civilians must trust the military to provide its best and most objective advice but then carry out any policy that the civilian decision makers ultimately choose. The military must trust the civilians to give a fair hearing to military advice and not reject it out of hand, especially for transparently political reasons. Civilians must also understand that dissent is not the same as disobedience.” -- Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis.
