This paper examines the debate about the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA). The author provides a critical audit of the RMA debate and argues that the contexts of warfare are so vital that only a military transformation that allows for flexibility and adaptability will meet future strategic demands. In addition, that author states that the historical record demonstrates clearly that every revolutionary change in warfare eventually is more or less neutralized by antidotes of one kind or another, such as political, strategic, operational, tactical or technological developments.
