Huntington, Samuel P. "Power, Expertise and the Military Profession." Daedelus v. 92, n. 4 (1963): 785-807.

Since 1945 the American military profession has been reeling under the impact of not one but two revolutions. The technological revolution has made the management of violence increasingly skilled, complex, and difficult.  The strategic revolution – the shift from the pre- WWII strategy of mobilization to the Cold War strategy of deterrence – has required the maintenance of large military forces and a substantial corps of professional officers to command them. It has also required new methods of civilian control over these forces and a new role for the military in the making of national policy. Between them, the technological and strategic revolutions have shaped two important trends in the military profession since WWII: its increasing need for expertise on the one hand, and its declining political power and influence on the other. These two tends, in turn, have given rise to considerable uncertainty, occasional bewilderment and some frustration among the members of the officer corps.
