p.30 How does an army at war, in direct
daily contact with an adaptive enemy, maintain its own adaptability?
p.31 The Merriam-Webster online
dictionary defines "adapt" as "to make fit (as for a specific or new use or situation) often by modification." Adapt
implies a modification of a particular institution or thing to adjust to changing circumstances.
It also implies the need or desire to bring one thing into correspondence with another.
p.39 While adaptability is focused on adjusting and modifying existing capabilities
to fit current circumstances, innovation is about creating a completely new concept, a new approach, or a new way of getting
things done.
