Military strategy is a collective name for planning the conduct of
warfare. Derived from the
Greek strategos, strategy was seen as the "art of the
general". Military strategy deals with the planning and conduct of campaigns, the movement and disposition of forces, and the deception of the enemy. The father of modern strategic study,
Carl von Clausewitz, defined military strategy as "the employment of battles to gain the end of war." Hence, he gave the preeminence to political aims over military goals, ensuring
civilian control of the military. Military strategy was one of a triumvirate of "arts" or "sciences" that govern the conduct of warfare; the others being
tactics, the execution of plans and manœuvering of forces in battle, and
logistics, the maintenance of an army. The border line between strategy and tactics is blurred and sometimes categorisation of a decision is a matter of almost personal opinion.
