Abstract
The chapter focuses on the limited ability to hasten force buildup by training troops with newly acquired weapon systems when war begins earlier than envisioned or during an ongoing war. Examples are taken from the Sinai War (1956) –ground and air forces; the Six-Day War; the Yom Kippur War, and others. Suggestions are given for risk management between investing in the present versus providing a solution for the future regarding the replacement of existing proven weapons with new unproven ones.
