New Ravenfielder Doctrine

The New Ravenfielder Doctrine is a plan first developed in 1936 for reforming Ravenfield's stagnant military doctrine.

Background
During the Great War, Ravenfield stuck to the doctrine of trench warfare like all other countries on the continent of Ravenfield and most other countries elsewhere. Almost all of the high command continued to supported it even as its main adversaries began adopting a lightning war doctrine, as the high command consisted of old, experienced and inflexible officers, while the calls from younger but more flexible officers were ignored. This did not do Ravenfield any favors and led directly to their complete defeat.

Only after Ravenfield was defeated did the high command realize the shortcomings of old doctrines and begin developing a new plan for improving Ravenfielder doctrinal thinking, but only with great reluctance. The forced demilitarization that turned the Ravenfielder army into nothing but a glorified militia further slowed things down, and virtually no progress happened between the end of the war and the remilitarization.

Birth of the New Doctrine
In April of 1936, the Ravenfielder high command, now filled with new figures came together to discuss a new plan for breaking the stagnation of military doctrine.
