Chapter 21:

The Significance of 5G for Special Operations of the Future Toby Redshaw “He will observe also that changes in tactics have not only taken place after changes in weapons, which is necessarily the case, but that the interval between such changes has been unduly long. This doubtless arises from the fact that an improvement in weapons is due to one or two men, while changes in tactics must overcome the inertia of a conservative class; but it is a great evil. It can be remedied only by a candid recognition of each change, by a careful study of the powers and limitations of the new ship or weapon, and by a consequent adaption of the methods and using it to the qualities it possesses, which constitutes its tactics. History shows that it is vain to hope that military men generally will be at pains to do this, but that the one who does will go into battle with a great advantage—a lesson in itself of no mean value.”
