    What are the three levels of war?

    Explanation
    The three levels of war are strategic, operational, and tactical. The strategic level involves the overall goals and objectives of a nation or organization in a war, including decisions on resources, alliances, and long-term planning. The operational level focuses on the coordination and execution of military campaigns and major operations to achieve strategic objectives. The tactical level deals with the specific details and actions of individual battles and engagements, such as troop movements, weapons deployment, and battlefield tactics. These three levels are interconnected and must be effectively coordinated to achieve success in warfare.
