You might like to short-circuit a lot of this learning. There was a fighter pilot who studied this for 40 years named John Boyd. He architected the f15, 16, 18, A-10 and the first iraq invasion. His academic work short circuits what all the dotcoms (including facebook) are slowly learning through trial and error.

If you want a starting place Robert corams book on boyd is excellent, while Frans Osinga's thesis Science, strategy and war is essential reading for the hard subject matter.
