Download - Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Concept- Baker
The intellectual and moral components of fighting power represent the human dimension of warfighting. They are
concerned with how people, individually and collectively, apply their non-materiel resources (intellect, emotions, motivation
and leadership) to fight and win. The capacity to apply these resources is a
critically important element in the human dimension of warfighting. It enables
individuals and small teams, isolated in a complex and chaotic battlespace, to
understand and act despite friction, danger, uncertainty and chance.
