"Therefore, just as historian John Keegan correctly states that “Knowledge of what the enemy can do and of what he intends is never enough to ensure security,” so too, having superior forces equipped with better technology is no insurance for victory when opposing an enemy that invests in intelligence (8) Absolute power does not win absolutely."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
"Ever present in military discussions are questions of force composition and force employment in winning battles. Force and its employment are significant in driving outcomes in combat. However, it is operational and tactical intelligence, not necessarily numbers, technology, or tactics that can have the most decisive impact on how forces are employed and how success is achieved in wartime operations. Intelligence can be a force multiplier. Considering the value of force, technology, and mass without placing a corresponding value on intelligence is a mistake. In Korea in 1950, intelligence gave commanders the knowledge of the battlefield (battlespace awareness) and the understanding of their foe to focus allied forces at the right place and time."...
